Love him but clearly not up to it at this level anymore. Look awful even in his 20 min cameo against this dross United side.

We will have big issues if he is still our starting LW next season.

He should do one more year as squad rotation but that means we need to sign a shithot LW to start. Moore + Odobert are not there yet.
 
haha ok! goals and assists don't matter when you're a striker. Only if you're a nerd apparently.
Goals don’t matter for Johnson, apparently that’s all he does, score silly goals, stupid footballer! Solanke gets shit for not scoring them Johnson gets shit cause he does! Football fans are pretty fucking dense, not ruling myself out of stupidity btw.

Read this back, so you want a shiney new LW, and have 3 backups. Your a different fan to me I’d say, Son deserves to stay right Where he is on a rolling contract, you can’t be a fan who says *meh, get rid* then gurn when our players leave for a step up club wise. It’s no wonder there is a possibility of a soulless Super League if fans feel there is no heart in the sport.

i thought hed be good as a sub for last 20 but i dont even think hes got that in him now. looks completely shot to pieces. the break in which he allowed that dorgu to get back and tackle him was shockingly bad, thats meant to be a scenario that hes decent in...hes finished im afraid. legs have well and truly gone.

you can see it with KDB now, when he plays one or two touch hes fine as your legs can handle that, but holding onto the ball when your legs are gone and you're up against good athletes is a recipe for disaster, and even KDB looks poor when he does that now. sons never been a one or two touch player, his leg power was his strength.
 
I still think there’s more to offer as a sub and CL starter after a good pre-season. Football’s like heroin cos I’m already dreaming about him lifting the FA Cup next season in his final game before he leaves the building to go and play back in S Korea or the States.

He's been awful this season but saying he didnt do shit in the final implies you know nothing about football lmao. How could Son do anything in that match when the entire team was parking the bus?

TBF he could have - he ran straight into their defence and lost the ball when he could have set up a goal. He wasn't without opportunity
 
Have to remember that he was playing whilst injured. Hence why he was out for some of the games late on in the season and why he was left out of the final game of the season " and Son is also not playing yet because his foot has not fully healed.".

Which means through most of the 2nd half of the season he has had some sort of injury that has not healed over.
 
The win should be the best send of we can give him in his final game he finally lifted a trophy is the fairytale ending he deserves. But as said above is obvious grandfather time has well and truly caught him up. The drop of even just as this season has progressed is alarming. He doesn't even look like he can strike a ball properly now.

Icon and spurs legend but it's time to let him go back to Korea or Saudi or something as get what we can for him
 
Yea he should've dribbled past through all defenders by himself. And he still has injuries. And you are saying as if other players did any better after the goal. Use your brain a little bit.
When people are complaining about a performance in a final we won, it's just not worth even replying. They have an agenda and it hurts them so much that it was Son and not Kane lifting that trophy.

Oh shut up, FFS.

All your flood of drivel in this thread amounts to is; Son's performances can never be critiqued ever.


Fucking idiot..... People are universally chuffed for Sonny.

A club legend even if we hadn’t won anything. A proper edge of your seat player when he had the ball and almost a certain goal in any one on one situation . Injuries and being flogged to death by spurs and South Korea have caught up with him . If he stays it’s as a sub and if he goes , what a way to leave .
 
I think it's pretty clear for next season - if he is willing to accept that he doesn't play every match (or even most matches) and the commercial benefit stacks up, then why not have another season if that's what he and a new manager wants.

One thing very notable in the final was that the famous Son 'afterburners' are gone. Even with the benefit of fresh legs, his former lighting pace on the break was absent. We all remember the times when he could run faster with the ball than most players without it - but that is no longer the case, and without it he just isn't half the threat. The Utd defence caught him fairly easily.

Unfortunately under OG 'Angeball' he had become a liability. We would press high, and then opposition would double up on Son knowing that he is likely to turn over the ball under pressure - allowing them a fast break as we stupidly overload our attack in the final 3rd. Under 'defensive' Ange that's less of an issue, but now you need his pace... which is becoming less of a weapon.

If he goes now, he goes as a legend and on a high. If I was him, I know what I'd choose.
 
He was fucking dreadful

But we got it done and while offers nothing whatsoever on the pitch, only a fool would ignore his impact off the pitch (as well as prior seasons when he was class with Kane)

11 goals 12 assists this season (in 46 games), not exactly nothing whatsoever...

just goes to show the how peak a player he was when 23 goal involvements is terrible for him and his all round performances have been lacklustre but still puts up numbers .

just for comparison Antony Gordon who people routinely wank over has 9 goals 7 assists in 42 games
