You sad pathetic screaming little Fairy..
Ive seen it a few times and yes he pulled out but realistically he wasnt ever favourite for the ball and nothing would have come from it (at best maybe a throw in).Does anyone have a video of the Son incident with Cech? I'd like to see that a second time.
Here is a vid of all his involvement, it's right at the end. I think people are making way to much of it, again people who are persuaded by what the pundit says. In Son's case it's McNamaman who thinks Son should get there ahead of keeper, failing to acknowledge that the ball is travelling away from Son towards the keeper. If you stop start the sequence he looks favourite as keeper slips but frame by frame shows with the ball travelling away from him it favours the keeper (distance between ball and keeper gets closed). May be he could have slid in but you can bet that keeper would have played for a foul, and/or Son would be on the ground, I'd like to know how he could of scored from there.Does anyone have a video of the Son incident with Cech?

Did you slow it down? With every step the ball is moving away from Son and into the open arms of the advancing keeper. If Son thought like Costa then he would have gone in with dangling leg hoping to get a decision go his way (basically dive). Seeing I have just ripped into the theatrics of Coquelin & Wallcott I'd prefer our players not dive and cheat. It really is a nothing moment made bigger by a pundits comments.Disagree. I believe he can reach that ball if he goes all in to get it. He risks creating a free kick or a booking, but if he hit's it, he may get through, he might get unfairly tackled by Cech and cause a booking or a sending off. All to win, little to lose.

I don't see an issue.Only lssue I see is that it means Eriksen, Lamela and Alli are fighting for one spot behind the front two.

He didn't back off though, he didn't even brake stride.Check goes to ground expecting Son to get there. Son could have got there but not sure what he could have done once he was there? Slide in and try to get the second ball. you can understand why he backed off. Me personally would expect my players to get stuck in and go for a ball as that.
many laughed when Walcunt did it last season on Kaboul.and he took the embarrassing option of jumping over the keeper.
Son seems to run off to the left and hurdles Cechs outstretched leg. Almost although he was pulling out, expecting a challenge. Not sure if bottled it or just respect for Cech. Anyway, he didn't and alls well. Could have been booked/sent off if he had got a little exited and lunged in.He didn't back off though, he didn't even brake stride.
