Thanks mate.

I've not been anywhere - Just more lurking and reading than posting.

Aah. Well, from a selfish perspective (and I know I speak on behalf of so many members and visiters of RAWK), hopefully at some point it'll be less lurking and reading, and more sharing and posting your insights.
You're one of the rare bunch here that actually educate and debate at the same time.

I've just looked up what his rib tattoo says: "Many flowers decorate the way, but on this journey there is still a lot to achieve."

He's a baller.

Look how at ease he looks after 1 and a half sessions.

Absolute Rolls Royce of a player, everything one touch.

Samie · « **Reply #324 on:** September 20, 2020, 05:53:57 pm »

Can already see he'll fit pretty damn nicely here.

Took me about 2 years to know the names and personalities of 11 guys in my office

.

He comes on and within 1 minute is organising the midfield of a championship winning team and dictating the pace.

Outstanding.

PIPA23 · « **Reply #326 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:02:59 pm »

you have to laugh.

it is him and two others in our midfield from now on...

Butter Keks · « **Reply #327 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:06:30 pm »

Never even touched Werner, if anything he clipped his own feet. Only two games in to the season and there has been multiple weak penalties already thrown about.

I suspect he did. A player is very unlikely to clip his own feet unless he gets a touch.

He did touch him but it was a slight bump, not enough to knock him off balance, but he's gone to ground anyway

Fromola · « **Reply #330 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:23:14 pm »

Top class. Exactly what we've needed in these kind of games. Helps us unlock teams.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #331 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:23:29 pm »

Adore him. Pen decision was a joke. Anyone who doesn't watch Leipzig much will quickly get used to Werner throwing himself to the floor every time.

Kopenhagen · « **Reply #332 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:24:15 pm »

Players must be absolutely buzzing with this one.

Truly unbelievable signing.

Rest in peace to the bottom 14, home and away - they haven't got a hope in hell if this fella starts.

Samie · « **Reply #333 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:24:27 pm »

Nice easy start for the T-Man.

We’re gonna have some fun with this guy.

tubby · « **Reply #337 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:29:06 pm »

Comfy debut, just strolled around and did what he wanted. Nice tackle towards the end on Werner to show a bit of steel.

Libertine · « **Reply #338 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:29:26 pm »

Every pass, even a 5 yard sideways one, is a thing of beauty....

robgomm · « **Reply #339 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:29:41 pm »

Unlucky with the penalty, Werner seemed to trip himself but whatever. Good start.

Yep.

When he came on, you can feel he moves differently.

Half-time substitute Thiago completed more passes (75) than any Chelsea player managed in the entire match.

Since full passing data is available for the Premier League (2003-04), his 75 successful passes are the most by a player who played a maximum of 45 minutes.

Unbelievably good player. Once he gets on the same wavelength with everyone else we’ll be unstoppable

Wengerpresser101 · « **Reply #346 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:33:01 pm »

Such a classy player, reminds me of a mix of Iniesta and Alonso. Looking forward to seeing more of him in our midfield.

will2003 · « **Reply #347 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:33:39 pm »

Like having Xabi back

bird_lfc · « **Reply #348 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:33:40 pm »

He’s a joy to watch

Oskar · « **Reply #349 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:34:09 pm »

Felt like we had a three man advantage in the second half with him on the pitch.

Great start, he's world class.

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #350 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:34:10 pm »

Some filthy passes already. Can't wait when he gets more tuned to the side.

CraigDS · « **Reply #351 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:34:28 pm »

He’s ok I suppose.

kingmonkey007 · « **Reply #352 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:34:31 pm »

It was like having Xabi Alonso back, effortless spraying passes

He speeds everything up. It's all too slow and pedestrian at times when we go away and teams are sitting in.

He's the player we've missed since pretty much Alonso left. There's very few players around who can actually immediately improve our team and he was one of them.

Schmohawk · « **Reply #357 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:39:06 pm »

You can see his quality after a few touches really. He just kicks the ball differently than most others. I don’t know how it works but some of the greatest players have a special touch than can’t really be explained.

Schmidt · « **Reply #358 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:39:50 pm »

Him, Keita and Firmino all in the middle playing casual passes, knowing that at any moment one of them could just spin his man and immediately launch an attack, was wonderful to see.

Hoenheim · « **Reply #359 on:** September 20, 2020, 06:41:00 pm »

Love it when he fizzes the ball betwen the lines, somehow hiding it, he did that once or twice and i just smiled, feels great to see him in action.
