Can't be on the up all the time, coach said he has some fitness issue so not the best days for him. Came on with a great corner to settle the match.
Stellini's personnel choices are being validated. Maybe Richarlison's spot is up for grabs. But I hope Tottenham's form takes off, and the Milan result is overturned in the home leg. That way, I can dream of Son winning the CL.
It is an issue because he hasnt been on form since the beginning of this season, even before the injury.
yes, yet still he found a way to impact the game. Kane will get and deserves the plaudits but it was a tap-in for someone like him. Equally deserving of praise are Dier for his fantastic assist with his flick-on and Sonny put a clutch corner in straight to Dier's head. Skippy, what a banger though...
Maybe Stellini gives him a start instead of Richarlison. He's the only player that probably shouldn't be starting. Then again, there is the fairly untested Danjuma.
Richarlison doesn't have the goal involvements but he battles his ass off. Sonny can still run into space and run on to a good ball, but his over all play has been poor. But yeah, as well as Richy battles and brings the shithousing, he hasn't taken many of his good chances. TBF, both have had serious injuries but if Purple Patch Sonny gets into gear - no contest. In Son's defense though, don't think he's getting anywhere near the credit he deserves for the defensive work he's done deep in his flank and covering space for Perisic's runs.
Stellini should explain some things to Conte. Or tell the board to fire him. Because the wingback positions must not be touched in league or CL games.
I only watched the highlights of the game vs Wolves so I don't have the entire game context but Son definitely would have put some of those in the goal in the past BUT I was encouraged to see him have those shots... I feel like we haven't even seen those attempts the past few weeks...
I watched the highlights of that loss to Sheff. Utd. One good chance he had involved him drifting to the right. Needs to talk to Kuluševski and arrange a position swap.
If he was in form and Perisic was costing him goals inhibiting over all team contribution, have at it. But we are so far, far beyond that now. Perisic has been benched plenty recently and Son still unable to find form. At the moment on recent run of play only, Emerson is better on the pitch than Son. Son's passing isn't sharp, his decision making poor, he has no conviction in his moves, it's just not good. If you're out of form and you know it, then experience and playing smart football can go a long way, but he's headless chicken Sonny. Signing with Calvin and becoming an underwear model is the worst decision of his life. What about your day job? The football?
