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.
Let's start with him creating when the ball IS in play and go from there.Son should be creating when the ball isn't in play?????
Piss off with this silly agenda shit.

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.
This game didn't fill me with confidence that he can play as a winger in this system, but I would imagine that he was appointed as captain because Ange saw a role for him in the team.
Also it is Brentford, the best deep block/counter-attacking team in the league. Most teams will struggle against them.
For this system, he should be utilized as a striker and play Richie on the left...I think that would benefit both players.
all his posts about Son are hate. He is a troll, just ignore him.He wasn’t very good. — Perisic was better in his cameo — but to say that Son cost us 2 points is bollocks.
You really have a hard-on for him. That Korean chick must have done a real number on you.
Definitely got dumped by an Asian chick at some point.all his posts about Son are hate. He is a troll, just ignore him.
I get to say that (for obvious reasons). Others don’t.

I think it was a big mistake to sign him for two years. It would have been better to pass on bringing in Conte than have the narrative from Day 1 be that he wouldn't stay. I think the players knew that and quit on him in Season 2.Yeah, a lot of people have been bitching about Conte since yesterday because of how well Bissouma was, but seeing Brentford's performance has actually made me respect him a bit more.
I do think he's a good manager still, the problems last season were mainly due to external factors. Also the fact that he's emotionally unstable which is the main reason why no one has hired him.
He is again playing out wide which I don't think suits him well...If Sonny buries one of his 2 big chances on Sunday, everyone probably feels much differently. Very fine margins.
He actually already refused the Saudis, some players just don't want to go there.Maybe a hot take and I might not get the best reactions from his but.....After the departure of Harry Kane I feel like Tottenham need to cash in on Son.
He is undoubtedly a club legend and will probably go down as one of the best Spurs players ever. However after last seasons poor showing (IMO) along with Kane now leaving, I think it is very evident that Son is a part of Spurs past and not the future.
At a time where Saudi Arabia is offering obscene money for players, I feel as thought their is a big payday to be made with Son which would allow Tottenham the use of even more funds to attract talent and rebuild the team.
Now with that being said I AM NOT saying that Son won't win games for Tottenham this season and maybe even have moments of magic. Regardless though I just think that if the idea is to rebuild the club then you might as well just go all in. Son was the Robin to Kane's Batman, and I am not sure I see Son carrying the load on his own.
Then again, this is an outside fans opinion so maybe I am out of my depths but just sharing my opinion.
Fair play, did not know he refused to go there. Regardless I am sure there would be multiple clubs interested and willing to pay a good fee.He actually already refused the Saudis, some players just don't want to go there.
It wouldn't go down well in his homeland if he moved to Saudi Arabia especially when he's still relatively young and has dozens of sponsorships. Also quite telling when only a club in Saudi is putting in an official bid for him. He now moves like he's closer to 40 than 30. I don't know what happened to him but it's evident that he's past it and would be in the club's best interest to move him on while he still has a reputation of being a good player, although people are slowly catching on to his steep decline.Fair play, did not know he refused to go there. Regardless I am sure there would be multiple clubs interested and willing to pay a good fee.
Son is quality but I just wonder if their is a window of opportunity that might be missed by holding on to him longer then Tottenham should have (following Kane departure).
