Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou singled out Timo Werner after a rough draw with Rangers in the Europa League - leading to some football.london readers in our comments section wondering if it was the right move to point the finger at a struggling forward so publicly.

Spurs drew 1-1 with Scottish giants Rangers at the Ibrox with a rotated side and one eye on Southampton in the Premier League at the weekend. The match properly got going in the second half, with Rangers' Hamza Igamane opening the scoring. Dominic Solanke found Dejan Kulusevski to equalise, but neither side could find a winner.

Werner started the game, but he was hooked at half-time after a drab display. Postecoglou was not pleased with his efforts, saying that "he wasn't playing anywhere near the level he should."

"When you've got 18-year-olds [playing], that's not acceptable to me. I said that to Timo. He's a senior international, he's a German international. In the moment we're in right now, it's not like we've got many options. I need everyone to at least be going out there trying to give the best of themselves.

"His performance in the first half wasn't acceptable."

Reader Ric4ever writes: "Ange, mate, I'm just wondering if that was the best way to play it with Timo? He always plays as though his confidence is shot to pieces, especially when clean through. He doesn't know whether to chip or go round the 'keeper. Most of his shots are more like back passes or go miles over the bar. Shouldn't this have been done in private with a cuddle and extra training on how to shoot? If you have been doing it - and it doesn't look like it - then get rid."

Marlon1 agrees: "Ange calling out players is strange. Werner has been worse than that." Sqmmyg says: "Timo was poor for an international player, but I felt the worst Spurs player on the night was [Brennan] Johnson...

"[he was] Awful and way too slow to think and see options."

Others think that Ange is right. Bigjohn44 writes: "For a player with his experience, German international etc, his play is exceptionally poor. Since he's been at Spurs he has shown a total inability to convert scoring chances - he just freezes as soon as he within shooting range. And against Rangers he lost possession repeatedly... I can't recall one incident where his 'contribution' reached anywhere near to being acceptable."

Bobbyspur agrees: "Don't care if we have injuries, Ange needs to give up on Timo now. Enough's enough. Would rather see Ange lace up himself and play out on the wing than see Timo in a shirt again."
