'Top strikers are hard on themselves': Lampard defends Werner amid Chelsea goal drought

"He may be hard on himself because any striker the level that he is who is worth their salt...will be hard on themselves," Frank Lampard told reporters after the 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday.

"That's how you get to the top with the desire to score goals.

"I was happy when he gets on and gets into the positions to score goals, particularly the one that went wide as that's where I have seen him score so many goals in his career so far. He will score those in the future.

"Him being hard on himself is not a problem, but I hope he feels my support. The only way out of a hard patch is to train and train, keep your attitude right and stay positive. Sometimes you need help with that.

"That can come from me or his team-mates; we all want him to do well. We have a really competitive nature in the group with options in forward areas so they are all willing each other to do well.

"Timo will get there no problem, he can be hard on himself and he has my support."

Werner broke a 2-month-long goalscoring duck against Morecambe in the FA Cup a week ago but was left out of the starting XI against Fulham.

After coming on late in the game, the German missed a gilt-edged chance in the final moments to seal the game.
