Son is not reliable anymore. If he doesn't play well, he needs to be subbed just like any other players

What have we created though? Hard to put it back in the net if you have no service.

He had other chances. There was a tackle from Matip which Son should have done better on.
He's also not helping the team create chances, it's not just on everyone else to give him those sweet through balls.
It was the only meaningful momentum we had in the whole game today.
That tackle by Matip was good defending, why you necessarily put it on Son missing a good chance?
Of course his contribution to chance creation is not good but maybe that’s how he’s told to play? After all he was never a player who’d create for others, at best he was taking 1v1s and beat his man.
Just stating a fact that the big chances he has had lately he hasn't been burying. Whole team needs to create much more I agree.
he's not helping the team create chances? hahaha he has the second most assist in the team followed by Kane.
Is your first question actually legit, or are you actually blind?
Disagree.
That disallowed goal was very clinical finishing.
You can't expect to score every single chance you broke through. Not even Ronaldo or Messi could when they're at their peak.
We didn't create enough, and Son is better playing this pseudo goal lurker than a traditional winger.

He needs someone to play the passes that show him at his best. Eriksen (and Dele as well to some extent) used to be good at that. Kane currently is even better at it than they were. I hope he's okay.
No, I don't expect him to score with every chance. I'm merely stating a fact that his previous clinical finishing a month or so ago has deserted him. Has unfortunately missed some important chances of late, tonight, Fulham, etc. Took the offside goal well, but the second effort was very poor.
So many players were dreadful tonight so not laying the blame on Sonny's feet - just frustrated his efforts aren't finding the net.
I can understand your frustration, but I don't think the level of clinical finishing is anything but bad for Son. It's just we either need to improve as a team to create more, or Son up his all around game, so he's not utilized just for this specific role.
exactly that. hes a striker that needs to play on the shoulder of the last defender and look to be put in behind. back to goal and getting involved in the build up is not his game hes not got that in him.
I think what’s been revealed is that Son was bailing out the team with his clinical finishing. Now that it’s fallen back down to earth, our weakness on attack and our inability to create has been completely exposed. We are fcked if he doesn’t get back up to his form we saw at the start of the year
Exactly. A lot wrong with the club, team, tactics etc. Son isn't one of them.
Not saying he's above criticism, no player should be but he's one of our best players, that there is no doubt about.
While showing many brilliant moments that can change games , Son can also go missing in build up or just loose the ball .
A outstanding player on his day but in many games shows very little.
