TBH, I am more worried about Kane whose goals for this season are mostly from penalties.
Are they?TBH, I am more worried about Kane whose goals for this season are mostly from penalties.
In one person's opinion. tbonepremier 's points are perfectly valid. He's a handful for any fullback, but his decision making and selfishness count against him. He could be so much better. Why is that so hard to admit?You are aware he won man of the match ?

tbonepremier didn't say anything that suggested Son didn't play well Saturday. His comment wasn't in any way focused on saturdays game. Your response was as if he'd said he was shit Saturday and didn't deserve MOTM.Yes Son can improve , Alli can improve, Eriksen can improve , shall I go on ? I am questioning the mentality of someone who slights the weekends match winner for creating chances and missing the occasional one. To call Son just a highlight reel player is ridiculous considering the positive influence he has had on several matches this season, highlight reel players don't win player of the month or multiple motm awards. Yes as tbone points out he can be selfish at times , but would he have anywhere near the amount of goals and chance creation were it not for his selfish streak ?? I don't think so. Who was motm in your opinion Joe? I was torn between Son and Wanyama both were very good.

If Son's decision-making skill was so good and he scores all the time, he'd be playing for Real Madrid.
Calm yourselves and imagine how yesterday's match would've been played without him. Or the matches against Wycombe, Stoke, Middlesbrough (in September), Man City, CSKA Moscow, West Ham, and more.
Obviously, he has been an essential part of this season's run.

I like him! He's not the finished article but think he gives us an energy, which we sometimes lack, especially yesterday when we missed Danny's runs down the wing. As mentioned by many, he does make the wrong decision sometimes, but name me a player who always gets it right. He will get better with age and experience. He plays the game with a smile on his face and he never stops trying, which for me makes up for his shortcomings.
We would be worse off without him. That's the bottom line.
He has some flaws, but if he ironed them all out as some on here are asking for - he would be a Bale-level player. Not everyone can be that good week in week out.
Bollocks. No need to bad mouth Kane in order to defend your man Sonny. Agree with Mockers here. Son is often fantastic & infuriating in the same passage of play. And several times per game. That said, his unpredictability does make him an exciting player to watch, and when he is on form he is often unplayable.TBH, I am more worried about Kane whose goals for this season are mostly from penalties.

True but also realize that penalty awards are no longer awarded as an assists (given the penalty is successful) so I think the bloke is saying that Son's penalty has helped Kane banging them in without any record books mark for Son. A moot point as I agree the Son fanboys need to calm down and it's a team effort and not just Kane, Son or Dele. Without the likes of Waynma, Winks, Toby and Rose amongst others we are not even in the position for penalty let alone goal opportunities. We win with as a team and draw with a team and dare not mention losses as don't see that happening rest of the 2017 campaign to be honest....i'd be more worried if he'd missed them all!!!
A goal is a goal is a goal is a goal...
and until they start awarding additional points for goals scored that aren't Pens... then i'm just happy he's sticking them away!
...anyway, what-choo got to complain about? Your man Sonny has been winning most of them for Harry to take!
It's one of his most dangerous weapons! Son's penalty-winning efforts wouldn't mean shit if Harry didn't keep scoring them!
