Sons been shit in recent weeks, let's not put bells and whistles on it. He is a world class finisher, statistically I'm told he's the best finisher in europe which is why he's an important player for us but he's offering very little beyond that. His passing has been poor recently, he's not getting on the ball and pulling players out of position or trying to take them on. He's not making runs. If our other options were not diabolical then he'd be dropped.
I say that as somebody who adores the guy. I'm happy for him to live off of his brilliant finishes when things are going well but if he wants a contract of 200 grand a week or whatever it is then he needs to be a talisman during these difficult moments. He needs to find ways to not be marked out of games so easily.
I heard Kane might be back at weekend but if he isn't maybe we can try Bergwijn in his actual position as a LW and move Son to the right or even as the forward just to see what happens. who knows in reality I know positional changes won't change a thing but I'm willing to try anything to get some stimulant into the forwards legs at this point.
