I find that in every pro sports no player asks to be subbed unless they literally cannot play. Fair or not they don't want to be viewed as soft by their manager/teammates. I don't agree with this mentallity/perception but it is what it is.
Having said that I'm not necessarily saying that Son knew and played with an injury that serious.
Unless we know when the injury happened and what it is, then this theory is moot.
Don’t worry about it, I’m fairly certain Kane will step up
But what IF Kane really does step it up what then? You andDon’t worry about it, I’m fairly certain Kane will step up

will have some explaining to do LMAO 
Why am I being dragged into this?But what IF Kane really does step it up what then? You and
I've never said anything bad about Kane
Or we go 352 finally with Lucas and Kane playing off each other and one of Ndombele, Dele or Oo Celso behind them.
Dele playing behind Kane brings the best out of Dele. If we can’t sell him, might as well try using him.
I’ll give him credit when he does something well as I always doBut what IF Kane really does step it up what then? You and
Even if with Son out he plays shit but contributes with a meaningful and crucial goal tally I will absolutely cut him some slack.
Contrary to popular belief I have nothing against Kane other than his football recently.
If his football improves, what’s the problem?
sad Son's out but now these guys who have been sitting on their backsides for all season need to siep up
But I thought that when they all played in the second 11 V the Euro conf league teams and they couldn't even get up for those matches (play well hope to get into first 11 via sub's spot)

Hate to say but it is going to be so bad for those games without Son that maybe it would force the biggest January spending in the club history so it will work out better in the long run and Conte builds his legacy here which might help world peace and global warming too somehow
So the over reliance on Son which was obvious in his form has come back to bite us. The air miles the lack of rotation the over playing. Inept from our management.
Not really, just bad luck since Bergwijn and Gil wet out as well, Conte tried to manage his mins but in the xmas period where there's so many matches + covid injuries are bound to happenn
This.....
Already said to bloke above you can't ignore the fact that Berg, Gio & Sess (and Gill for a spell) have all been missing for the bulk of the time.
Note: This is not to say we weren't a body light when the season started; but the criticism of poor management/rotation is BS.
Could have rested Son if we wasn’t obsessed with one formation
But we did not have to play 3 up front every time. Changing formations is part of rotating players. Tuchel and Chelsea were limited defenders against us so they switched for 4 at the back instead of using 3 CB's. We could have played 532 like we did against Liverpool and give Son a break, then the next match give Lucas a break.
When we have 3 healthy forwards and plenty of midfielders, only using 2 forwards makes much more sense. Just seems a little stubborn by Conte to not switch.
