She posted a string of stories in which she blasted on Werner's performance and mistook his name as "verme", which is 'worm' in Portuguese. The story was deleted as it stirred controversy in the London club.&nbsp;

She said: "This is karma, guys. Every team I go to there is a striker who keeps missing goals… this Werner, what is his name? Verme?"

"We need a goal, we need to win this match but my attackers don't want to score, I don't know why they don't score."

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel was also not impressed by his performance and said: "He missed a big one at West Ham United (on Saturday) and now he's missed a big one here, that doesn't help," Tuchel told a news conference. "It doesn't help crying about it or regretting it.

"There are millions of people who have harder things to deal with than chances that you miss... I don't feel we're pointing fingers but of course the strikers want to score.

"This is the highest level and when you have a good half an hour like we did... then yes we wish for more composure and more precision in the decision making and finishing."

'This is karma': Thiago Silva's wife fumes after Timo Werner's shocking misfire against Real Madrid

Chelsea's Timo Werner said his recent goal drought was unlike any he had experienced in his career but the Germany striker is hoping to soon start firing on all cylinders in his maiden Premier League season.

Werner has scored five league goals in 25 matches since signing from Bundesliga club RB Leipzig for around 50 million euros ($60.23 million) in the close season.

The 24-year-old failed to score for 14 consecutive league games between November and February before finding the net in the 2-0 victory against Newcastle United this month.

"It was tough for me because I want to help the team," Werner told the BBC. "I want to score, it's in my nature, I am a striker. I never had it in my career before.

"You always learn from bad situations. I learned to trust in myself, to give everything on the pitch, not only think about goals and fight for the team. I hope this period is gone and I score a few more goals until the end of the season."

Werner pointed to former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba, who endured similar struggles and netted just 10 league goals in his first season at Stamford Bridge after arriving from Olympique de Marseille.

However, the Ivory Coast international went on to become a fan favourite, helping the London club win four Premier League titles and the Champions League across two spells.

"A lot of good strikers come to the Premier League and take one year to settle down and adapt," said Werner.

"I think my form is going up and getting better and better. Maybe this year is not the year of goalscoring for Timo but at the end I will reflect on the season."

Chelsea, who are fifth in the table with 44 points from 26 matches, visit sixth-placed Liverpool, who are a point behind the London side after 26 games, later on Thursday.

Chelsea's goal-shy Timo Werner hopes to hit top gear

Chelsea`s new manager Thomas Tuchel believes striker Timo Werner has lost confidence because he has been thinking too much about his poor form and urged his fellow German to trust himself in front of goal. 
 
Werner, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from RB Leipzig in June, made a bright start under former boss Frank Lampard, scoring eight goals in his first 13 appearances in all competitions. 
 
However, since then Werner has found the net just once in 16 games, and had a penalty saved on his last outing against Luton Town in the FA Cup. 
 
"At the moment I can see that his face is a bit closed, I can see that the weight is on his shoulders," Tuchel told reporters ahead of Chelsea`s home match against Burnley on Sunday. 
 
"He cares a lot, and it shows that he has fantastic character. It is important to rebuild his trust in himself, and to find a smile on his face and to stop doubting himself too much. 
 
"It`s my job to help him with this, and then also find a position where we can use his strengths." 
 
Werner`s ability to break down deep defensive lines has been questioned in recent weeks but Tuchel wants the striker to focus on his strengths in the attacking areas. 
 
"He is super fast and he likes to play on the last line, very high up but a little bit more to the left so he is half open to the opponents` goal and can receive balls into the open space," Tuchel said. 
 
"Can we develop movements, patterns to use his quality in narrow spaces? I`m absolutely convinced we can because the guy is young, the guy is friendly, and the guy is eager to learn."
