He was horrible yesterday. He needs to go back to basics and play simple. He is not a playmaker and will not offer anything that Moura or Lamela can't in that department. Actually falls way behind them. Son shines when he is playing as a traditional winger and running into space down the wing and whipping in crosses like he did two seasons ago constantly during his best form for Spurs. He needs to do more of that. That will then cause defenders to try and block that channel which will then give him further opportunities to cut inside and give him opportunities for his trademark curlers.
PS I apologize on behalf of all Koreans for Rooster's antics. She's obviously a crazed Korean fangirl who can't be reasoned with.
My mate who was watching the box earlier,claimed it didnt even make sky's goals of the weekend. He reckons othrs that have been on BT, have in the past...They just didn't rate it....Quite amusing how people are claiming his goal is overrated due to how terrible the Chelsea defense was.
David Luiz, today:
Son:
154 games
104 starts
50 goals
Firmino:
162 games
142 starts
55 goals
Only one gets called world class despite having significant more minutes on the pitch.
Looks like 19 for Sonny and 32 for Firmino.
You sure we weren't up 2:0 when Son poorly decided to abandon the easy walker that could have put us right on up to 3:0?Didn't think he was all that to be honest.
I don't think any player comes through that game deserving any praise. Son was frustrating today, spent alot of the time on the floor and had a decent chance at 1-2 to get a third goal but decided to shoot from 25 yards.

A brilliant game against the Chavs but rather ineffective for most of the season . Frustrating at times , so wasteful in front of goal and sometimes very greedy .Oddly timed article.
He's been awful this season.

A poor man's Chris Waddle .
EscanorHe’s defo in that purple patch again. We need to play him to death while he’s in this zone.
Another banger to add to the collection.
I know what people mean when they say he's a streaky player but 40 goals across the last two seasons wouldn't say that. How many goals would he have got if he were more consistent? For me Son is vastly underrated. I posted the stats of Firmino's numbers in the same period and Son despite playing less and starting less is more or less neck and neck in goals.
Then we had our fans clamour for Martial and Zaha who Sonny comfortably beats on numbers. I'm glad people are now realising how lucky we are to have him. I think the scare we had with him having military service over his shoulder made our fans not take him for granted. Don't get me wrong...he's always been popular....but he deserved more adulation on par with Kane, Alli, Eriksen.
Apart from the stats and all the tactics palarva Sonny is just so likeable and i think we are so lucky to have him. I would imagine he is a good influence in the dressing room and characters like him are vital in that regard. Love the bloke.
