Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[Danny1]

Arrrggghhh I took him out of my fantasy football team which is annoying, but what’s worse is I replaced him with Zaha! Mourinho owes me one now for all these mind games ?!

I feel your pain brother.

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

Can someone find out the skinny. He’s in and out of my FF team every time someone posts on here ?

I took him out this week for Vardy doh

Looks like Mou just wasn't in the mood for much talking when he dropped the "I expect Son to be out for long" bomb after Newcastle.

Could it have been a dead leg which he didn’t realise at the time?

what an absolute superstar player we have

 

[easley91]

He said in that same interview he isn't going away this international break. Him and Bale training together for two weeks to get their link up play going. West Ham, all be it playing well today, must be shitting themselves.

He looked sad when he was getting subbed off as he realized that he could have had a hat-trick from that Lamela pass. Thats how far we've come, our players are sad that they haven't scored a hat-trick against Manchester united

Feels like he’s recapping with his mates after a first date went well with his crush...when he was 16.
Obvious really tired but satisfied with a small hint of regret for missed opportunities, a really genuine and intimate moment was captured there, so heartfelt without the normal play acting and you wonder why he’s so likable.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Just hoping it might be mind games with United at the weekend, and two games that Jose might have been tempted to rest him anyway this week.

Knowing our luck though, Son's leg fell off in the changing room at half time or something equally ridiculous.

Optimistic, hey? ?

 

[SUIYHA]

From the second I saw him burst through on goal at pace for his first goal it was obvious he'd never been injured. People were saying it seemed strange that he'd supposedly got a long term hamstring injury when he'd been sprinting seconds before we last saw him go off for half-time at Newcastle, and then despite supposedly being out for a "long time" he looked fit as ever yesterday. A tactical ploy from Mourinho to surprise Man Utd and get one up on them it seems - even though Solskjaer said pre-game he'd been planning that he'd be playing, the complete inability of United's defence to pick him up suggested he hadn't.

Massive gamble from Mourinho to do that though. Obviously we dropped points at Newcastle because we couldn't get a second goal and very nearly went out to Chelsea in the cup. Was it worth it? Course it was worth it!

Watching the Amazon documentary, just makes me love this guy more.

If him and Kane stay injury free I think both will be over 20 goals easy.

Not only is he an extremely talented football player, but I love how much he seems to enjoy being here.

Also, just to add to that I was smiling a long time after he scored his first goal against United to kick start our demolition!

His smile is so infectious, but so is the SK fans' enthusiasm. I love our boy Son and all the new fans he's bought to the club, feels much more authentic than plastering billboards all over Times Square.

 

[tiger666]

I love this guy

 

[ultimateloner]

On top of being a star player he is also a nice and humble guy. can't really ask for much more.

 

[slartibartfast]

I love this guy

Probably just me but I must admit I cringed a bit with that. Its Son so fk it but it reminded me of the shit for brain celebrations Arsenal do, in particular Aubameyang and I dont wanna be thinking about that prick after Son has just scored.

I remember the whole world losing their shit when Roger Milla tango'd with the corner flag. Dude was at the world cup, scored a belter and done dry-fucked a flag in front of millions at... I dunno, what was he, 60 years old?

Let Ol' Boomerang out of your head, dude, enjoy the thousands of other players who have a dance when they score.

edit: Apparently/allegedly, RM was 38 in '90 and 42 at the '94 world cup. Allegedly

Not having that. Aubameyang celebrates with Lacazette in a totally different way and does it all the time, regardless of scoreline.

Son rarely does. And we were 4-1 up when he did this.
