'Wouldn't start for Tamworth!' - Timo Werner goes from Champions League winner to non-league humiliation as Tottenham star roasted for horrendous first-half showing

Premier League

Aldershot

Tamworth

<p>In the first 45 minutes of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-tottenham-fa-cup-tie-non-league-tamworth-delayed-hosts-battle-patch-together-broken-net-with-tape/bltaebd53f6134f7166" target="_blank">Spurs' clash with the non-league side</a> on Sunday, Germany international Werner struggled to make an impact in the contest. Tottenham left-back Sergio Reguilon had more touches in the opposition box (three) than Werner (two) in the first half and that, and more, prompted many to say the 28-year-old "wouldn't start for Tamworth" on social media.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/mionomedev/status/1878423318031741066" target="_blank">@mionomedev</a> wrote on X, formerly Twitter: "Werner looking like the worst player on the pitch against non-league opposition is impressive even for his standards."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/Zeus1882x/status/1878432827382845848" target="_blank">@Zeus1882x</a> tweeted: "If Werner played for them I don’t think he’d be their best player."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/HarryCarlton55/status/1878424303936381292" target="_blank">@HarryCarlton55</a> mused: "Timo Werner has 57 caps for Germany and has won the Champions League how can he be so poor?"</p><p><a href="https://x.com/Dave_THFC1882/status/1878423519026958662" target="_blank">@Dave_THFC1882</a> commented: "12 non-league players on that pitch. Tamworth and Werner," and <a href="https://x.com/fullback03/status/1878421898096238734" target="_blank">@fullback03</a> added: "Werner wouldn’t get in this Tamworth side."</p><p></p><p></p><p></p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Tottenham head coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/timo-werner-ange-postecoglou-spurs-boss/bltc466493139edc7bc#cse3f3158557be3995" target="_blank">Ange Postecoglou slated Werner's Europa League display against Rangers</a> in December but said "we're not letting anyone go" when asked about ending his loan from RB Leipzig early this week. However, a return of one goal in 25 appearances this season makes for grim reading. It seems a long time ago that he was winning a Champions League trophy with Chelsea in 2021, not long after being one of the most in-form forwards in Europe.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After this Tamworth cup tie, Postecoglou's Tottenham side are away to bitter rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Wednesday.</p>
