Thought he had a decent first half, not so involved in the second half, but still managed to roll a perfect pass to Harry for the goal.
He, like everyone else, will get better with more game time.

Good game from Son, but he was isolated in the flank most of the game.
that assist from Son prove my point once again that he need to be paired up with Kane up top, or at least right behind Kane.

I do wish he’d be pushed forward a bit more, his goal threat and passing is being a bit wasted.
I know it's fifa 20, but I changed Son's instructions to not track back, and changed Dele to track back to the left. I did it without making it two up top to still give Son a chance to run into space wide.
I haven't stopped scoring more than 3 goals a game since. And my defence isn't worse for it either.
Of course some posters on here would call Son a lazy bastard and call for benching him, even though the team is scoring for fun. Just because he doesn't "track back".
One thing he did do for us which was crucial against a camped WHU, was that he held his position out wide on the left.
Stretching the pitch allowed acres of space for Aurier.

hmm.. maybe... but is that really a good thing?
isolate one of the top goal scorer out wide so he can create a space for Aurier?
Son is the one who needs space
Just look at 2 goal chances (one missed by Kane 1:1 and Kane's goal) against WH. Son was involved in both chances and look at his position. He was not out wide. He was in the central position right behind Kane.

Son played pretty well I thought. His finish shows he can score in a flash and his perfectly weighted thru ball to Kane was testament to his underrated quality as a creator. Son needs to be pushed higher up forward I reckon.
He doesn't have to permanently be wide. The flexibility of the 3 behind Kane gives us most success. So drifting in us fine.
But from an oppo point of view they will want to keep Son out wide and let Aurier have the ball.
The point is, you want someone who can switch play as quick as possible to sides. If Son can be isolated 1v1 then he can be just as influential. He scored against WHU in the away game like that.
If he wasn't offside he would have done so again on Tuesday. The other thing is that Ben Davies doesn't go forward as much so you can't have everything going down the right hand side all the time if Son is central.
Anyone else ever get tired of watching official club YT videos and having to scroll through a hundred comments that just say "Son" to find any real insight or conversation? I like Son as much as I've ever liked a player who hasn't played for England (my only real team) but come on!
On the latest training video, there's a comment thread where some guys are just like "yeah, I only support Spurs because of Son" and "if he moved to Madrid, I'd support Madrid" and so on. As one of, as far as I'm aware, very few accepted neutrals on this forum, that's the kind of stuff I conscientiously try to avoid. Kane's my all-time favourite player and I could easily be equally obnoxious, but I like to hope I'm not.
ETA: I think one of the important things is that I don't identify as a Spurs supporter and pretend to be a fan of the club just because I love some of the current players.

The diamond was openly criticised in the media by, um, I think it was Sissoko. You have to really dislike the formation to come out with it publicly. Apparently none of the midfielders liked it.
I think Son was really the only person who benefitted from it, as he often got to play on the shoulder of the last defender. Kane's role ended up being relegated to creating space for Son's runs a lot of the time (which works well enough with Kane, sure, because defenders fear him enough to go with him, more than they would if you just put any random player there, but it wasn't optimised for Kane's strengths by any means).
You and Clynelish not gotten a room yet lad?
"tough guy"
"stalking"
"creep"
