Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He is finished. The odd assist or goal doesn't have positive impact on the team, performances, results or to where we want to be. But do we have any better in the squad? Werner lol
We have assembled such a terrible squad yet again.

At his very best Son had a partner to work with. On the face of it, he looks washed up. However, I would love to see if he could still work in a decent pairing. Working off Solanke for example rather than being so isolated on the left.

As for playing CF. It has never ever worked so it’s not a reasonable way to judge him.

Salah being played CM would look washed. Liverpool play him to his strengths. Spurs play son to the teams system. Not to the players strengths.

He doesn't have any strengths... the one he did have has walked out the door and will never return, he's soft as fuck, has no leadership qualities despite being made captain, no good in the air, doesn't hold the ball up, his set pieces are abysmal baring a keeper making a mess of it and to top it all off he can't find the back of the net from 5 yards out with just the keeper to beat. He'd done... great servant but doesn't even warrant a squad place nowadays.
 
I feel for Son, I really do. He has been part of so many failed campaigns by different managers.

And unfortunately has nearly reached his Premier League used by date at a time when we are in a rebuilding phase.

He can make a solid bench player for another year, and then move on to new pastures at this point.

We are in desperate need of a new captain next season.
 
Have you actually tried hitting a football at that pace yourself? You can't really look at the keeper and where he's going. You hit it on goal and 8 or 9 / 10 it's a goal. And Martinez being one of the largest and smartest keepers in the world will manage to cover almost all the ground area by coming so close. Only real place to safely score is to hit it above him but also that is risky. Just saying. I was disappointed that Sonny missed but if you know football and see the angles, you know that scoring that one is harder than it looks.

Your level of bias is incredible. If Kulu or Johnson had missed that chance your comments would have been massively different

What gets on my wick is he is our captain, disgraceful.

Pulls out of challenges, hides , no heart. Plus he couldn’t finish a packet of crisps.

Every single week, it’s like watching Darren Bent again

i said at the time it was the worst choice as captain as he doesnt have the personality for it. some idiots said that didnt matter and he is a good choice cos hes popular or some bollox loool. them people have never played a competitive game of football in their life.
 
Slight understatement here from Son….

Too quick to jump in on this. Any idiot knows that Sonny isn’t great with his back to the goal (and no runners around); he never really had the skill (nor does anyone really) to dribble away from four or five pressing oppo players; that he can’t play for headers and drop-downs against a couple of centre-backs - never has been, never will.

In case no-one noticed, it’s not just Sonny who’s not hitting any heights, it’s pretty much the whole team. That’s either a) we’ve got a whole squad of players who’ve suddenly turned sh!T or b) the system doesn’t suit the players (at best).

Anyone - and I do mean anyone - could get more from Son by playing a cohesive mid-block and playing with space ahead of the MF, rather than slowly congesting the final third and then blaming it on whichever unfortunate winger / forward is out there.

It’s awful tactics. Don’t let Ange lead you to believe otherwise.

He played great under 5 different managers in a 10 year span which is amazing and he has been injury free for most of it while other younger players are dropping like flies....However, his form has dipped and Angeball probably has alot to do with it but his time with us is now up. At 33 now, he needs to find a team that suits his style of play rather than wasting both his and our time.
 
I don't want to pile in on sf76 but didn't Solanke do just that before his injury?
I still think Simon Says jump and Angelos jumps as high as he can (Simon suggested it would be good if Son was made Captain) .
Good for business but not good for football.
Sums Simon up pretty well.

Maybe. Or Ange doesn’t know how to utilise the one ‘class is permanent’ player we have left. He’s signed an extension: Ange should be gone in the summer - give him his swansong - from the bench or otherwise. The current coach is so obsessed with his playground system that we’ve cleared out our ‘stable’ players and - well - here we are.

Having met the King a couple of times ( yeah I know what a name dropper ) I can say from personal experience he will be 100% on top
of his brief and be asking that question because he knows all about Sonny, if that makes sense ?
