I agree he can't hold the ball up, but the reason he's so ineffective through the middle is because we keep playing a high line and condensing 21 players into one half of the pitch! If we sat deeper, he would be able to run in behind, play through balls to Werner or Johnson and get into the box or run from deep on his own. All of which play to his strengths as a player who can run pretty fast and shoot from the edge of the box when he isn't surrounded by defenders. Ange took him off like it was his fault, when in actual reality, Ange is insisting we play a type of football only Man City have truly mastered so Son has to receive the ball with his back to goal and his touch and physical weakness are exposed. Its the managers fault.Got to get Sonny back on the left. Just wasted where he is.. cannot hold the ball up.
Those crosses coming across from Johnson have a far better chance of going in if Son is on the end. Werner. Do me a favour. Yesterday!!!!
It isn't going to matter who we pick against Arsenal. If we play a high line we are done for. Same as Chelsea. Same as Fulham. Same as Newcastle. Ange has to stop being so stubborn and short sighted and play in a way that works for this squad and this league!!! (Nothing personal, just ranting)
