Player Heung-Min Son (손흥민)

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

? I ought to say that lucas was our 2nd best player behind Kane today

Neither were the top two players, or close to it, but even if Lucas was the best today, one game does not change that for 100 games for us he has been shit. He hasn't ever come close to showing he can score at the level that Son does and sure as hell cannot come close to making the passes he does.
 
100%. He gets in these shooting position on the edge of the box then just stops and dithers. His passing today was criminal and he should've been subbed off not Moura.
That is what I have noticed. He doesn't quite know what to do at the right moment anymore; almost like he is consciously analysing it in his head on the ball. I am hoping it is just confidence.
 
Laugh at me all you want lol, but this is what I meant by replacing son with a CB or midfielder who can build up the play. Not a knock against Son, but he’s not someone who can help Spurs current issues right now.

Lucas can emulate what son is doing, which is exactly what he did today. In fact Lucas played much better

Lucas can emulate what Son can do? Some ppl are seriously delusional.

Fanboi's coming to the rescue

My bad should have stated 2nd best offensive threat (although we had like 1 shot on goal).

I think that’s being too harsh on Lucas. Yes his decision making is questionable, but his dribbling from our half to push forward is so crucial for this club. Something son does not offer. Sure he may not score but son has not been scoring much in 2021. I think both players have the same passing abilities. In fact, Lucas has a higher completion rate the past 3 years.
 
KaneDomBadBoy KaneDomBadBoy

What hope do we actually have?

Kane is great but clearly wants to leave.
Son according to you is shit and below average

Ndombele and GLC are both so talented, and I love watching them on the ball, but for a variety of reasons they don't seem to cope with the intensity of domestic English football.
Hojbjerg is good at tackling but not good on the ball (should have scored today??)

Our defence is obviously a joke.

Are we just totally fucked?
 
Mate, you come here every match and say the same comment calling us delusional. Maybe deliver a constructive argument and explain why son should not be criticized.

And mate, you come here every match doing nothing but criticizing Son over everything. I've never said Son should not be criticized. It's a fact that his form is shit. I just dont like ppl like you who just blame everything on one player and escalate it more than it's needed. "Sell Son. Lucas can emulate what Son can do". Seriously?

What the heck did I expect from a guy who registered in March, 2021 with name "ericlamessi".

Some ppl just dont understand football lol. Son is not the main reason why we are doing shit. I bet you dont even know Son played in our third more in 2021 as if he's a fullback.. and you are surprised he didnt score much in 2021?

Lucas hasn't come close to ever having the seasons scoring that Son has. He has 17 goals in 100 games for Spurs often playing against weak opposition. That is a poor season for Son. Not a chance he can

His passing is worse than yours or mine.

There is not a chance that he could come close to matching what Son does. Moura should be moved out of the club not given a bigger role. He is not close to good enough.
 
Really poor today, needed him badly in the gameplan that we had. He has showed up against City a lot of previous times and was going to be the key man if we were to win. Lot's of poor touches and bad passes... really let us down unfortunately.
 
Not too keen on the crocodile tears after the game.

An experienced player, 29 years old crying like a baby after losing a league cup final isn't a great look IMO. Maybe being a bit tougher mentally would help him play better in big games.
 
Son always has and always will be a limited player.

Poor touch, can't pass and cant beat his fullback consistently enough.

What he has is a great strike on either foot and a good work ethic that's about the sum total of it.

Can't recall a worse run of form than this for him though. Could be fading time to cash in.
