Surely we havent seen him play centrally for 55 league games though. Just seems incorrect especially as Llorente would play centrally when we did have him and kane was injured. Probably includes all the cups and what not.That was posted before yesterdays game.

Transfermarkt has Son at 60 goal contributions (37 goals and 23 assists) in 74 apps across all competitions when he's played at CF.Surely we havent seen him play centrally for 55 league games though.

Definitely seems a little wrong.Transfermarkt has Son at 60 goal contributions (37 goals and 23 assists) in 74 apps across all competitions when he's played at CF.
This is even more impressive given none of those are penalties and he only started in 61 of those games.
So he has 60 non penalty goal contributions in 61 starts / 74 apps.
That's pretty insane if you think about it.
Playing as a 4-4-2 with two CFs? That's my guess.Definitely seems a little wrong.
For eg 18/19 they think Son played 16 games as a striker? Kane started 27 games, surely son wouldnt have played centrally as well in those games and Llorente started 6 games too. That leaves 5 games where we didnt have a striker. He might have moved around centrally to help the striker but he was definitely not the lead striker in 16 games.
While obviously son is great and all that, theres numbers just seem a bit off. And if they mean hes played behind the striker in a CF position then now we have two players who are better at as a 10 instead of 9.
Maybe. Dont think there were many games where its just Son upfront and everyones behind him. Thats why that 55 'central striker' thing looks a bit dodgy.Playing as a 4-4-2 with two CFs? That's my guess.
We've played with 2 CFs a lot...Maybe. Dont think there were many games where its just Son upfront and everyones behind him. Thats why that 55 'central striker' thing looks a bit dodgy.
Did say central striker. In any case, most of his 'striker' games came as a support striker anyway with either Kane or Llorente as the main one up top. Definitely not 55 games where he led the line.We've played with 2 CFs a lot...
Kane / Son
Son / Lucas
Son / Llorente
etc.
Whether it be 2 or just 1 up top, a CF is still a CF though...
They didn't say 'lone striker.'
Fair point but it's still very impressive nevertheless. 60 non penalty goal contributions in 61 starts is significantly better than what he normally does at LW. Also the reason why I think we should play him up top in a front 2.Did say central striker. In any case, most of his 'striker' games came as a support striker anyway with either Kane or Llorente as the main one up top. Definitely not 55 games where he led the line.
Those red cards he got as a result of those charges and Gomes’ leg fracture seem to be the things that gave rise to a zonal marking and defending as opposed to a more physical game. He seems to be pressing more under Conte. When you press and cover zones, you force errors which leads to turn overs in possession as often as Skipp like challenges, though those charges are much more pleasing to watchI remember when he'd charge at the opposition when they had possession. Pressing putting in slide tackles. There's no edge to him in a spurs shirt anymore. There's a difference between genuine effort and whinging acting like you care. And if he can't do it anymore then it shows he is declining physically and people are right about him.

I agree with this, I would say it's not really a lack of effort from Harry, but more a lack of energy and/or pace. This seems to slowly be the player Kane is becoming now, with a lot less pressing (he still does at times though).. but it stands out compared to others around him such as Lucas.
Think the poster was talking about Kane and not Son.Those red cards he got as a result of those charges and Gomes’ leg fracture seem to be the things that gave rise to a zonal marking and defending as opposed to a more physical game.

So do the rest of us. One of own he's one of our own Son Heung min he's one of our own.Appears as if Son sees himself as No 1 and H as 2. So shoot is primary, consider feeding H secondary.
