Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou will continue to try and restore Timo Werner’s confidence, but has acknowledged they need more from the out-of-form attacker.
Werner was replaced at half-time of Thursday’s 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League after another mixed display where he squandered a big chance in the 27th minute.
RB Leipzig loanee Werner recently deputised for injured captain Son Heung-min, a doubt for Sunday’s trip to Crystal Palace with muscle soreness, but has not scored in his last 16 appearances for Spurs.
The excellent second-half performance of 17-year-old Mikey Moore, who switched from the right to his favoured left wing after Werner’s early exit, leaves Postecoglou with a dilemma at Selhurst Park.
