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.His clinical finishing has really dried up. That effort in the first half was dreadful.
He had other chances. There was a tackle from Matip which Son should have done better on.What have we created though? Hard to put it back in the net if you have no service.
It was the only meaningful momentum we had in the whole game today.His clinical finishing has really dried up. That effort in the first half was dreadful.
That tackle by Matip was good defending, why you necessarily put it on Son missing a good chance?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.
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.What have we created though? Hard to put it back in the net if you have no service.
he's not helping the team create chances? hahaha he has the second most assist in the team followed by Kane.He had other chances. There was a tackle from Matip which Son should have done better on.

Is your first question actually legit, or are you actually blind?Did he actually retain possession even once during the game.?
But we did not lose tonight because of Son and he will be rightly 1st choice in the next game.
Disagree.His clinical finishing has really dried up. That effort in the first half was dreadful.
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.Weirdly, Son thrived in previous years when Kane was out... but maybe that's 'cos he had and in form Dele & Eriksen supporting him...
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.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 and a traditional winger.
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.No, I don't expect him to score with every chance.

So many players were dreadful tonight so not laying the blame on Sonny's feet - just frustrated his efforts aren't finding the net.
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.He's not good at that either.
You play Son fairly central, and try to feed him through balls. That's 90% Son tactics. Anything else is like banging your head against a wall.
He can make a few passes and score some solo goals, but he's a shadow of himself when expected to do something on his own.
Exactly. A lot wrong with the club, team, tactics etc. Son isn't one of them.Here’s some advice for some of you.. log out go for a walk or go to bed, Son is not the problem
