You are right. The gap was there but he waited too long.

I think Bergwijn was hovering, but he had 2 Woolwich defenders in front of him.
Son had a very good game but could have had a great game if he had been more clinical (shooting and passing). Very good but could have done better. We won and he had a goal and an assist, so I am pleased with his performance.
Sometimes posts on here make it seem as if perfection is required. The game is tough. We need to realize that these are high level professionals competing against one another.
Reminds me of when my boy’s academy invited the parents to a training session with the academy coaches. All of the parents that yell at their kids to do better, run faster, and overcome fatigue couldn’t make it even a quarter through the training session.
We also had a mixed scrimmage with both parents and kids. No exaggeration, but the fastest 9 year olds were faster than most of the parents.

If the solution to our problems is FOUR FOUR FAKIN TWO, I would never stop laughing.
We'd probably have some twitter stat men throwing themselves off bridges.

Some of you are really shameless ungrateful f***ers. I know that Son is not the most consistent player in our squad but he is not unbelievably inconsistent. And he has carried this team time and time again. I really don't get where all the hate is coming from. Mourinho is asking him to play in a much more defensive role, a role which Sonny is still getting used to. And still do you see his stats??? 17-11 all season 10-10 just in the Premier League alone. Anybody else we know have stats like that on our squad? This boy is pure class and any ungrateful idiot who claims he is shite has either got dung for brains or must really really hate him for some unknown reasons.

I don't recall too many on here saying such. Bit irate, overly defensive and strawman, no?
Several posters have said he isn’t good and we should cash in
I admit I was a bit overly defensive. But looking back on posts from the recent week there are some idiots here that really rile me up.
Just want to say his finish was beautiful.
I thought he was going to try pass it in, but the dink sold the keeper.
That's the level of composure I expect from him.
Also would like to say he scored because I removed him from my dream team. Absolutely nailed on to score!

Now that we saw glimpse of Son's talent in corner kick, is there a chance for him to take set-piece near the box?
He was never given enough opportunity here ( mostly because of Eriksen), but he can be pretty good at set-piece. He rarely takes direct free Kick in his national team, but it's always dangerous if he does take one.
just want him to have few chances...

Son and Kane both played better because they were mostly operating as twin strikers. Isolate Son on the wing and both are less effective. As I said in my earlier post Son is not great tackling back and it was good to see Moura doing that so well against Woolwich.
Been calling for 442 for years.If the solution to our problems is FOUR FOUR FAKIN TWO, I would never stop laughing.

People who think you have to play 343212323211 to be eclectic don’t really get the game.
Football is not complicated or intelligent.
I think there is a strong case for playing a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 at least in some of our games so that our only 2 prolific goal scorers can play to their strengths. We saw signs of that yesterday in the 4-4-2 . As you say Son is poor at tackling back so why not give him the freedom to do what he does best ? This is especially necessary with the deterioration in Dele’s game over the past 2-3 years meaningthat he cannot be relied upon to pitch in with his share of goals operating as a number 10 behind Kane.
Joined yesterday at 5 in the morning... wonder who’s multi this is.
A man-child with an obvious agenda, I could certainly think of a few candidates.
I disagree I am fed up with watching the players in a good position try and pass and the pass being intercepted or the receiving player not controlling it. Attackers need to take responsibility and shoot . That is what has been missing in recent matches with a lack of shots. Only seen it back once but it was no means certain that a defender would not have stopped it.
Whereas I've watched it multiple times. Agree that we've been too shot shy lately. But time and a place to shoot. That wasnt it. Should have passed.
