Ex-Chelsea striker Cascarino slams Werner, Havertz: It's like they're playing with 9 men

Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino has hit out at German pair Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

After defeat at Everton, Cascarino was not shy of criticising the performances of Werner and Havertz on Saturday.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: “Timo Werner is struggling and hasn't scored in six now. I saw him against Rennes and I thought he was really poor.

“Look, he is devastatingly quick and he has got a goal record, and I expect him to get one at Chelsea.

Kai Havertz found it really difficult yesterday, he was on the fringe of the game. He is another really talented player.

“At times, it felt like they were playing with nine men. I don't mean that they weren't putting any effort in, but they just didn't make anything happen. With that, Giroud didn't get any service."
