Frank Lampard reacts to Timo Werner’s missed penalty in win over Luton

Frank Lampard has given his thoughts on Timo Werner after the German missed a penalty against Luton.

The boss said: “I’m disappointed for him. He gave a lot to the performance today.

“He was a threat behind, his link up with Tammy, his link up with people around him, it’s just one of those things. When it’s not going for you, it can happen. I missed penalties, I know the feeling.

“I know he will feel despondent, maybe now and the last few minutes of the game, but he shouldn’t be. It’s my job and his teammates’ job to lift him and he will be fine.

“It was almost a sign of what’s going on for Timo at the minute, it’s not quite dropping for him. But there will be a time when he takes penalties without thinking about it and hits the back of the net without thinking about it.

“At the moment that’s not quite the time for Timo, but it will come and hopefully soon.”
