Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Obviously he's playing bad he's always been an inside forward and isn't being played like that

He has the potential to be our top scorer if played in the right system and it isn't being done

Feel for him tbh

The singular good thing about tonight is maybe we get a manager that knows how to coach players, not has a system and needs a perfect fit for positions when that systems potential isn't even that high
 
I'll agree that he's not being utilised properly, similar to most of our forwards. We are not set up to maximise our attacking qualities.

It's also pretty clear that Sonny's lost a yard of pace, his finishing has been poor, and is not contributing anywhere near as much on the pitch. He needs to be rested and used in a different way.

Lead by example. If you can't, let someone else do the job. The sad faces and hands in the air "we go again" routine is very unbecoming.
Yea, it's probably a combination of factors. Must be frustrating for him to see the decline having previously worked with proven managers and now forced to work with this fraud who was found out over a year ago.

Not sure how much changing captain at this point would do. I don't see anyone in our team that I think is a natural leader. Romero is the VC but wouldn't be an improvement. For most of the time he plays like he don't care. Can't have a captain like that either.

But almost every player has declined substantially. There's really no point continuing this. The players won't improve under Ange. It's just going to get worse. Sell Son and what improves from there, if we play the same system?

100% agree.
 
It is an absolute joke that the other pussies on our team get injured playing 12 minutes a season yet we still rely on Sonny to play every minute for 7-8 years straight. Not to mention is national team duties where they also run him into the ground.

He should not be playing the minutes he’s been playing given his age. The fact that we're STILL relying on Son after all these years is the crime - it's a JOKE.

You know that is funny. The oldest one never gets injured and plays every game while the young ones can't seem to stay healthy.....
 
He's been a good servant but lets be totally real for a second, I don't think Son has ever turned it on in a big game for this club, I can remember him costing us a big game lunging in against Chelsea. There is a reason he's been here his whole career.

He isnt a winner
 
The fact that he specifically will ghost through every single must-win game in his career and all of a sudden start crying after 90 mins is nauseating.
 
Shittest captain ever.
Hugo Lorris, also a questionable captain to an extent, called him out very publicly for not putting in the required shift. That being a warning sign for what Son can do in regards to setting an example, that Son is now “Captain” is astonishing.


Regarding his form. He’s being killed off by this Australian Ted Lasso fella and his clueless antics. Son’s still a good player. But Salah would look shit under Ange’s balls.
 
Captain my arse. Absolutely abject performance
He's the only reason the team is still sticking together and pushing through this period of madness and crisis with injuries caused by Ange.

Do you really believe that any of those players give a fuck about Ange? Do you think they have any respect for him? An overweight Aussie smoker with a chronic cough that has was not at a high level himself as a footballer, never won anything of value, and is ruining their careers, their primes, and any kind of dignity with this kind of clown football he's playing.

If those young kids in the team for any reason don't respect Son, then they are the problem. Because then they imagine that they are better than they really are. Those kids that we have will never challenge Woolwich, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle...

Don't kid yourself. Son at this stage in his career is still better than any other player in the team. He's still faster than them. He's still a better passer than them, he's still mentally just as sharp, and if not 100% he's at least 80=90% when not being ran into the ground by Ange.

Remember, no other forward in the world, including all the top leagues, has covered and pressed as much as Son. UNBELIEVABLE STAT.

ALL THE YOUNG KIDS ARE FOLDING UNDER ANGE. Everyone has folded except for Son and Kulu. But Kulu has been even worse than Son during the past two months.

Son has still outperformed him in terms of goals and assists.

Son: 6 goals 8 assists.

Kulu: 6 goals and 4 assists.

And Son played almost 400 minutes less. And he's having maybe 20% of the possession of Kulu. Still much more efficient.
