Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has no doubt striker Timo Werner will bang in the goals this season.

The German has been in a poor spell of form, and has now gone 10 games in the Premier League without scoring.

He came off the bench against Fulham in a 1-0 win and wasted a great chance to find the back of the net.

"I was happy with him when he came on," the Blues boss told reporters.

"When he gets into those positions, particularly with the [chance] that went wide, where he's in that in-between position because that's where I've seen him score a lot of goals in his career so far. And he will score them."

"He may be being hard on himself.

"I think any striker worth their salt who has scored the number of goals he has in the last few years in Germany will be hard on themselves. That's how you get to the top, you have a desire to score goals.

"Timo will get there, there's no problem: he can be hard on himself, he has my support."

Asked if he has given Werner some special tips on goalscoring, Lampard added: "I wouldn't say I try and show him how it's done, I just try and coach him like I coach all the others

"But I do take a vested interest.

"I thought like a striker as a midfielder player, I wanted to get into areas. I was very on top of myself through the week, considering that how I train and how many times I hit different shots from different areas will replicate itself in a game. If I can put a bit of that into the players and into Timo then hopefully I'm doing my job."
