Koln goalie messed up massively here, though.

Newspaper headline comparing Werner and Lukaku's stint at Chelsea goes viral on Twitter - fans react

The Daily Mail newspaper published an article yesterday which has since gone viral on Twitter - have a look at the headline and premise of the piece below:

'Timo failed, but at least he tried...unlike Rom', the headline reads. This image has been shared over 9000 times on Twitter now.

 were both big-money buys who were meant to solve Chelsea's goalscoring issues, with Lukaku costing almost twice as much as the German forward.

Both left this summer, with Werner having scored 23 goals in two seasons and Lukaku scoring 15 goals in one campaign.

However, Lukaku created major drama last season by publically stating how he was unhappy with Thomas Tuchel's tactics. Werner never did something like that and kept his head down and worked hard.

: "I love Timo, there was a stat that he scored 16 goals written off by VAR and the countless shots he had that hit the post. He definitely tried. Lukaku did nothing of that sort."

 "Lukaku was worse than Morata, Werner was close to Torres in terms of squad morale and trying hard. Good headline."

 "Timo was an instrumental part of our Champions League campaign in 2020/2021. You’ll never hear me call him a failure. As for Lukaku? If I speak, I'm in big trouble."

 "Werner wasn’t a failure because a) the transfer fee wasn’t exorbitant b) his G/A was the highest on the squad his first season c) we won the champions league with him starting most of the games that season.

"Lukaku failed because he thought he was too big for the team and the coach's tactics. Publically kicked up a fuss. These two can never be compared."

when u take a look at the goal, you will understand why the league is a joke.. look at the space given to him... the lame shot yet it went in like a thunderbolt... the dive from the goal keeper... Werner will end up becoming the top scorer cos of his freshness from a tough EPL..  What a joke..

I was expecting someone to have said it. No midfielder will give you this space In Epl let alone the defence. I get why many footballers fear the EPL especially strikers.

you are right that the only league he can score does types of goal if it his premier league dey can not give him the chance to play from there or the goal keeper not catching dat type of goal

Oyebanji Oluwasegun

exactly that's a kind of league he fit, Premiership is too hard and strong for him. Havertz too should

Kay Kenny

First of all the midfielders are to be blamed for that goal.. he got the space and he made a good use of it.. and the goal keeper..🤔

Prince Mcdorni

So why do we end up blaming the coach for the players not doing their jobs

Prinzsammyj

That's where he fits.
Werner was really given the chance to get better, to be honest.
He was really awful at times, missing really good chances that you never thought he could miss.

I'm happy for him tho.

Bilal Movic

We need a very direct creative players .. most of our chances are coming from the flanks

This is the league where he belongs, he was afraid of big EPL defender.

Nzeh Ben Ejikeme

But I said in one of my comments of yesterday, that TT doesn't improve  strikers he developed  defenders, that was reason today all  strikers going, Tammy, Lukaku,  Timo, Ziyech,  Odoi, Pulicic, all wants to go, I agree he is the reason.

Keeper messed it up,  but happy for Timo.
