Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[Fredo]

Sign Vlahovic and put Son on the left

I cant winner this enough!

 

[h2005]

He’s playing in the wrong position. We need to get Richarlson back on the pitch.

 

[chas vs dave]

He can't play the 10 role against low block teams. He's too weak with his back to goal.

 

[Bobbins]

Would you prefer he says it's everyone else's fault but mine?

I’d prefer it if he didn’t repeatedly have to.

 

[Silky Skills]

Solanke is most realistic option in my opinion

 

[whenstevewentup]

Back to goal , there aren’t many worse forwards in the league , one on one , nobody better .

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Solanke is most realistic option in my opinion

Need better than that imo.

 

[UncleBuck]

I thought Johnson looked a lot better than Son did

Forest had him playing as a sole striker on occasions before he joint us so he can definitely do it if needed

 

[Yiddo1982]

Brilliant servant and exceptional player, but far too nice and accommodating to be a captain.

I hope the scouting department are busy looking for his replacement, as all good things must come to an end and that time is fast approaching.

He’s such a cash cow for the club (and been such a brilliant player), I can’t see Levy sanctioning any deal.

To add, I still think he’s amazing, but not in this system.

Just in case people are a little myopic after todays match: 15 goals 9 assists- this season, this system.

Oh yea sonny is fantastic just a shame Richy isn’t fit as we could do with moving Sonny back out to LW for a bit and having a more physical presence such as Richy up top especially against teams who set-up like Newcastle did.

Are you implying that sacking our manager midway through a rebuild, replacing our top scorer with Solanke, and hammering a 22-year-old defender for his one poor performance of the season isn't the right response to today's performance? Everyone else on SC disagrees, so you must be wrong, sorry.

Out of everyone I think you could forgive Son for just plain being a bit knackered at this point. Games for us + The Asian Cup all the way to the final + flying back for even more Internationals is a lot of not just matches but also air miles to have put on this season. If Richy wasn't injured I think he'd probably be getting a bit more rest time than he is.

Honestly I'm not doubting his quality but him up front isn't a problem today it's been said for weeks. Let's give him the support in a proper striker he needs

 

[jolsnogross]

He's anonymous as a central striker and we've all known this for years. He could be an effective false 9, but that's not what Ange wants. So in this system, he should be the left sided attacker and we should stop messing with that for a while.

We definitely need to sign a couple of centre forwards if we're persisting with this system. Which we will be. We have options left and right for the front 3. But the central role needs much, much more.

And taking a fucking shot every now and again might yield dividends. As it did for vdv last week.
