Alderweireld had a full pre season with the team
I'm willing to entertain a little wager than son starts a game for us in the next 3 games.
Alderweireld had a full pre season with the team
What position did he play? Wide or center forward?

Pretty sure he's plays as a Striker for South Korea, he's their main man.
I've warned people several times already, but I'm going to mention it again: he is going to be out of position being played as a right-wing forward in our side. Notice how all three of his goals were with his right foot today. Playing on the right in a very physical and fast league, where defenders don't give you any space, will make him have to use his left foot far more. Yes, he is capable of striking the ball with his left foot, but he is a much better striker of the ball with his right, so in my opinion, we won't get the best out of him unless he's on the left. Of course, there are issues there with what you do with Chadli, but I'd personally like to see a Son/Eriksen/Lamela trio behind Kane at some point this season.
Also, considering the amount of football he's played in the last two years, I don't want to see him anywhere near playing lone striker in cup matches, on top of starting league matches on the wing. Firstly, he's not suited for the role. Secondly, this guy's minutes need to be managed carefully. He's hardly had any break in the last two seasons, with Leverkusen playing him big minutes, plus the World Cup, plus the Asian Cup during the Bundesliga's winter break. We'll need him fresh for the latter part of the season, which is when I expect him to start showing his quality.
nice one teokHow long until every one is sick of people saying "nice one son" (or some variation)
Chadli played most games in preseason on the right with oduwa on the left. Poch wants them to interchange.
Indeed, in just the same way that his Saints team playedChadli played most games in preseason on the right with oduwa on the left. Poch wants them to interchange.
