Clive Allen says £165k-a-week Tottenham player has ‘no confidence’
Tottenham Hotspur have made it three wins in a row in the Europa League as they ran out 1-0 winners over Dutch side AZ in North London.
Spurs managed to get over the line at the Tꦗottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to Richarlison𝓀’s penalty in the 53rd minute.
AZ’s Maxim Dekker kicked out at Lucas Bergvall in the box to gift Tottenham a spot kick early on in the second half.
Richarlison, maki༒ng his first start of the season, was seen arguing with team captain James Madღdison over who would take the penalty.
Maddison ultimately allowed his teammate to take the spot kick, and he confidently struck the ball down the m𝓡iddle for the winner.
Desꦍpite the good result for Tottenham, and most of their p🌳layers doing well on the night, there was one who struggled.
Spurs legend Clive Allen, co♊veཧring the AZ game on TNT Sports last night, expressed his concern with said player.
Clive Allen said Timo Werner effort lacked ‘confidence or conviction’
The player in question is Timo Werner, who looked bereft of confidence and wa🔯s substituted at the br♚eak.
The man began well, providing a great cross in the fifth minute๊ that Mikey Moore was close to heading home.
However, Werner had several superb opportunities to put Tottenham ahead and failed to make the most of them🐓.
For instance, one of his b༒est efforts on the night saw him close in o꧅n goal, but his tame side-footed effort was kept out by Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro.
“It’s a fabulous run fro🎶m Werner, stays onside. Bergvall right off the outside of his right boot,” said Allen, via .
“ไNow he just composes himself, but no confidence or conviction to strike with any venom.”

What Ange Postecoglou said about Werner’s confidence
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou wa💃s askedౠ about Werner’s confidence after the game and whether he just needs to get off the mark this season.
“It is hard to say,” quote him as saying. “He is definitely dow🐲n in confidence you can s☂ee that.
“It is a difficult thing to get o⭕ut of s⭕ometimes. It can feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
“All we can do is try to support h꧟im and keep trying to get him to a place where he feels a little bit more confident with certain things.
“He has played a great ball in for Mikey to score early and if tဣhat goes in, that’s an assist for him it gives him a lift but it doesn’t happen.
“It happened at Ferencvaros as well, he played a gꦚreat cross t♕hat Will Lankshear just missed but these things happen.
“He needs to find a way out of it becausಞe for us in those positions we need players to make an impact.
“I 💎thought in a couple of moments he lacked some self-belief that we need to try to instil in him somehow.”
