Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Kane was trash last year but Conte stuck with him too and eventually he turned it around. I think Conte thinks last years PL golden boot winner can also turn it around. Its not impossible.
but kane can do the basics. sons a very very poor footballer. struggles at the basics and just keeping the ball. kane can tick over even when he isn't firing, he has good football intellect.

No it's not impossible, and I think Son is improving, but Conte's current system is really doing nothing for him. Son needs to be making runs in behind, but with Kane up top there's no-one that can make those passes, so he just dribbles into the opponents five times a match and calls it a day.
 
If Kane isn't scoring goals, he at least manages to hold the ball up, get it under control and pass it to a team mate.

At the moment, Son is on a par with Moura for the amount of times I've seen the ball bounce off him.

Kane is a more complete player overall but last year when Kane was bad, he was really bad. He'd walk around disinterested and fuck up small things. Eventually he woke up and starting playing again.

Son's best two attritubes is his running with the ball(and without) and finishing. At least the finishing looks to be getting better again. Those were two very good goals , even if the opposition was shite. Now would be the worst time to drop him after sticking with him for so long.

Worse, Moura usually ran his balls off trying to press. Son really doesn't like to get clattered, or do it himself.

Pulling out of challenges is really annoying.

I think we all believe (hope) Son will come good at some point, but in the meantime his presence is actively costing us points.

We can’t wait around forever for him to turn it around and find his old self. He’s had plenty of chances this season and has genuinely been atrocious.

Let’s hope the Preston game was a catalyst for a change in form, but the original post is not in any way misplaced.
 
Does anyone know if this sort of thing comes on suddenly or the pain builds up over time? I wonder if it may go some way to explaining his recent changed demeanour
Based on my own family's history with this both are possible.

For my cousin it was a overnight thing. She just woke up one day with it.

With my mom it built up over time and hers is more stress and diet related.

If he's had it for a while it would definitely explain him looking like he wanted to die during the game with Preston.

For me the first time I felt the pain was on a beach in Rio de Janeiro. Watching Romario playing football volleyball. The pain was very intense and lasted a few hours. I had those pain attacks about 4-5 times over a few years, feeling nothing in between and finally I got the surgery. After that, no more problems.

My niece had something similar, intense abdominal pain every once in a while but then it got so intense she actually fainted, it turned out it was a loose part of her bowel that was getting twisted but was usually able to untwist eventually...until it couldn't...they had to remove about 4 foot of bowel to get it sorted...
 
Get well soon, Antonio.

Hope he remembered to ask them to save it for him, in a glass jar, like my mum did.
