I think he has been off form longer than that.

The sight of him shedding tears yesterday made me realise how fragile he is mentally as a person. None of the other players got emotional after a fucking cup game.

And this mental frailty makes me think his blistering hot streaks and ice cold poor patches are related to his mental strength and confidence. For whatever the reason, he is either extremely confident or the exact opposite.

When he lacks confidence like yesterday, he stops taking people on and he stops shooting. He doesn’t even fucking try. In the previous game, his goal was ruled out by VAR but his whole body language changed after it.

They need to work on the psychological side of him, dunno if that means seeing a psychologist or what but he’s mentally very frail.

I've been saying for a while that we need a sports psychologist on staff to work with the players before and after games.

Son is only human and it is human to be low on confidence from time to time. But you probably have a point about it getting in his head which leads to his cold spells. If we had someone on the staff who could talk him through those periods he would probably be more consistent.

It shouldn’t be up to the manager to man manage every player’s psychological state.

Son clearly needs help.

And some managers just aren't suited for it as well.

Having someone on the payroll with the training and experience to work through whatever issues a player has could probably benefit us a fair bit. And allow the manager and coaches to focus on the on pitch stuff more.

We used to have one back in the 80s. Worked pretty good, ask Roberts.
 
United
City
Liverpool
Chelsea

Son could have helped to add at least three or four more trophies for any of these clubs had he played for instead

Any of these teams would have built a dynasty with Son

Spurs built a Stadium.

And Son ended up crying losing a carabao cup lol

This is probably what the shrink will tell him when he visits

These scummy clubs would have probably fucked Son over when it came to military duty.
There's a reason Son loves Spurs.
 
This team have blown so many good chances to win something. They were in with a shout of winning the league a couple of times. 2 cup finals. Semi finals. Should have gone all the way in the Europa. Son has been a great player for us but where is that hunger and desire to just win that cup at all costs? Not just him, the whole team just don't seem to step up for the big games. I know there's been a lack of meaningful squad investment but these guys are still nearly touching trophies, just tripping up at the last hurdle
 
This is the thing.

Saying Sonny needs to leave to win trophies - I love the guy, but in less than two years now he’s played in a Champions League final and a League Cup final, and made no impact on either.

He does have some agency of his own here.
 
Son has so much in the bank but he has used quite a bit of that up this year.

No need to apply for a loan but needs to start depositing again and quickly.

If not he will start to move towards an overdraft or even becoming a bad debt, albeit not likely to happen.
 
Son is one of the best, if his function is only to finish, but he lack a lot of the basics of the game.

Said that our main problem isn't him, but our lack of creative players (that are benched for fucking Wanks and Sissoko to play) that can link the midfield to the attack. Give him some cunts that can pass a fucking ball forward and he will score for fun, and so Harry and so Bale.
 
Son is one of the best striker/Attacking midfields when unopposed and has room to run and move but if he has an opponent nearby ,he can be nullified quite easily as he doesn't like too much contact ( IMO)

I'll do it.

Problem is I'd just tell him to suck it up, and just get on with it!!!
 
Such pathetic displays here. You don't have to bring him down to justify Clubs failure. Son may not be perfect the lad gave everything hes got since he got here. And the club failed to utilize to get most out of him to win anything year after year.

As I watched Reguilon fuck up the simplest of crosses and KDB whip in howitzer after howitzer I started wonder how many goals Kane would have had in the same side as him its fucking shocking
