Great observation.
The guy is absolutely clueless. You think he really knows anything about football?
Really hope Ange has some bollocks and goes with Tel/Odobert/Kulu as our wide options but very little chance of that.
He will continue to start Son and Johnson unless he has absolutely no choice and it may well cost us the EL.

I'd like to think/dream that Sonny can turn back the clock for the big Europa games to come.
if son and johnson start in the final we are huge dogs.
He was a fine player and was a great servant of the club. Big respect
Apparently he's been carrying a foot injury for
some time. Prehaps a fully rested Son can turn back time to his OP best.
Not in our 451. Even at his peak, he would struggle to offer much as a left midfielder, building up in the middle third.
People seem to forget he had a problem with hernia for a season in the past that dogged his performance then and came back so much better after the surgery. His current injury could have explained his form this season as well.
I'm genuinely not sure what this comp proves he's always been streaky and lots of these he's damn right unlucky. He needs rest a positional reset. He should be cut a bit more slack under the buffoon.
Not in the final so we'll hold off on that!!
Just don’t play him in this system. He’s painful.
Or play more of a 442’ish formation and get him running centrally
Sad to see, he's not even creating any separation on any of his shots.
even running centrally, hes lost the sharpness he had, his legs have gone now. that video you showed of his last 40 shots proves that, the amount of time the first defender gets an easy block. he doesnt have the power in his legs to get enough space to get a clean shot off now.
if hes got a defender near him, hes easily nullified. hes always been transparent too, hes not someone who will feign to shoot and slip in someone else instead, catching the defence off guard, if hes winding up to shoot then hes gonna shoot. it worked before cos he had the power in his legs to get into that bit of space he needed to get a shot away.
But itll happen
But youll prefer a half fit and woefully off-form Son over Tel?
I think there was always quite a lot of that with Son, though there is some drop off too, but he no longer has the wit and vision of Kane creating for him now either. Solanke, Johnson, Kulusevski, Odobert (yet) are just nowhere near top level creatively.
He always had that burst of pace and quick feet to open up an angle for him to shoot, mainly cutting in on his right, now he's super predictable as he's slowed down...it must be really easy to defend against him.
