Mate, I’ve only scored ONE less premier league goal for us and I’m in my fifties with a bad knee
There's an agree button if you wanted to agree more clearly in the future.
Reposting from the match thread cause it's relevant to the discussion:
Son in 75 minutes (well more like 86' if we're couting the extra time) had 2 crosses (0 accurate), and 2 dribble attempts (1 successful). 0.05 expected assists.
Perisic in 15 minutes had 3 crosses (1 accurate), and 3 dribble attempts (3 successful). 0.16 expected assists.

The thing is, if we put Son as CF and bench Richy, we lose Richy’s aerial ability.
I think he needs 10 games a CF before we consider putting Son there imo.

Dropping him after 1 match where he didn't get any service is insane and will achieve nothing but destroying his confidence.
Maybe don't be so aggressive and jump to conclusions. I couldn't agree because I have not seen the full game yet.
I wasn't surprised...that's all
He really needs to buck up though.
He was abysmal last season. Has none of the excuses people let him have this season.
He definitely has to perform, but for a striker to perform the system around him has to perform, and I don't think that's the case here.
And the dumb arse tackle in the box? Who's fault is that ?
I'm talking about Richarlison, Son was poor.
I'd be interested to see how son's stats today compared to Kulusevski
There was one moment today when he was wide open and not passed to.
Stuff like that would change perception.
He's learning too. It'll come.

2 crosses (0 succesful), 1/1 dribble attempt, 0.36 expected assists surprisingly, maybe they're counting the mishit cross?
Just to clarify, I meant Son has to buck up
The only reason to have kept him on — confidence
Son always struggle against deep blocks - even in 21/22 season when he was at his best I remember games like watford away where he was completely useless (except that delivery from free kick for a goal). So i give him benefit of doubt today - but i hope that he either improves or Ange drops him without hesistation. We cannot drag him through The games like Conte did last year.
Son needs to be dropped - He doesn’t fit Ange’s - winger stay wide - system - plus Son looks past it.
Maybe try switching Son and Richy for a spell (as Richy didn’t contribute anything against Brentford either). Perhaps Son at 9 and Richy at LW works better - If not, drop them both for Solomon/Perisic and Veliz/Orban.

This is why I was hesitant to give him the captaincy.
