I often struggle with him. There was a time where I’d have said he was more desirable than both Mané and Sterling, but both have this tenacity in their game that Son seems to be lacking at present.
You see 11 goals and 10 assists this season in the league, and it seems very unfair to criticise. But I want more consistency from him next season, and less drifting. Alert for every minute he’s on the pitch, and there’s no reason he couldn’t have twice as many goals.
Good midfielders would help Son score 20 goals in the PL.
His pace could be good for 10 goals next season with our counterattacking style.
