Tactics Werner or Son?

Son is very capable of shooting with either foot
He naturally likes to cut in on his left, when he's played on the right he's too predictable.
I think it's definitely worth a try only if kulusevski plays in that R8 though.
That way Johnson or Sonny can play that auxiliary striker role from the position because neither of them can beat a man or get to the byline
Answer: New player.
None of the current squad member have a good quality as a winger.
Sell Son and get another star winger. That is the only answer.
Hilarious thread. Son might be struggling but he still has nearly 7 expected assists and 11 goal contributions. He can deliver a killer ball still and can finish with both feet.
Yeah if we had a quality alternative on the left I’d be benching him but Werner? Fuck off ffs. The guy can barely play football. He’s a roadrunner. He maybe comes on late against tired legs sometimes but that’s it.
Need to be spending huge money on a left winger in the summer. The replacement for Son has to be a big signing.

When did he ever start as a RW for us? When he did once, (I think in 22/23) he scored and saved us from defeat.
How does a 14 year old prospect from Accrington Stanley sound to you ?
Between the 2, maybe a choice based on the opponent? If it’s a low block, Son could be a better bet for his shooting and play around the fringe of the box. If it’s against an attacking team, like City, Werner for the direct pace to take advantage of the space given.
Son should start most games, and be subbed between 55-70' depending on his performance. Werner can be a spot starter at LW when Son needs a rest, that is, if we wouldn't rather give a start to Odobert, Moore, or Yang instead. All the rest of the minutes Son doesn't take up can be split between the kids.
Since we aren't keeping Werner long-term, he's just a player we use as we need to, if we need to. That's functionally what happens with loanees when your club have no financial incentive to improve them long-term.

You’ve been bugging Levy’s office, haven’t you?
People have just forgotten how good Son is on the right too. He can play right, left and center but Ange can't utilize this.
Look at those goals against City. Best team in the league and he scored many against them from the right.

This goal against Chelsea also came from the right.

But he will never play there in this system because the Aussie rules man prefers BJ.
Why are you bringing up videos of peak Son when he clearly was twice the player he is now?
I miss those days with that team under Poch.
I think Nuno had him on the right, unsure for how long but pretty sure the first few games of the season. In theory Son is extremely 2 footed and should be able to play both sides, but I imagine he prefers playing on the left far more otherwise he would have switched more over the years.
Edit: Just checked and he only played against Watford on the right under Nuno. He has played 61 times in his career on the left wing but unsure when.
