Player watch: Son Heung-min

[N'Obody]

He is clearly injured obviously judging by the way he's running around waving to the fans. Some fans just over react to any small clip of a player going down.

After watching that I suspect he's off in January. Definitely looks like he's waving goodbye

 

[Trent Crimm]

This happens every international break. Wish people would stop sharing Son (or whoever) went down badly the moment it happens. It just spreads fear and anxiety among the fanbase. I looked on X and he was running after the game. So nothing to worry about.

How some people get through regular life is beyond me.

I heard a pop.

Son with his 2nd of the game (first was a pen):

So frustrating today again. Badly need him to help end the run of defeats. We really need our captain and best player to deliver in next few games

He almost scored three. One was a beautiful finish. He's doing exactly what we need him to do imo. The goals will come.

 

[TOLBINY]

Been away with S Korea and yet played the full game and did not stop running, yes the off sides are infuriating but I expect he is feeling more pressure to deliver with all the injuries.

 

[rabbikeane]

2 key passes as well, his stats are good. Shame about the offsides

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Can’t believe he has the ball in the net 4 bloody times as my FPL captain stay on bloody side Sonny!

He worked so hard today after being jet lagged, can never ever question his commitment but we also need more attacking options as he is no spring chicken anymore and can’t do it all himself every week.

Yep Johnson won't be helping much imo. 47 mill ?

 

[GutBucket]

Our only threat besides Lo Celso, teams will double him more again, nobody is worried about Gil, Kulusevski or Johnson scoring. Not yet at least.

Yeah, it's completely fair to come to that conclusion after Johnson's only managed 2 goal contributions from a whopping 307 minutes of disjointed appearances so far.

v Sheff Utd - 10 minutes played, scores but disallowed for marginal offside
v Arsenal - 63 minutes played, forces a top class save vs Raya, looks a threat but goes off with injury
v Fulham - 9 minutes played
v Palace - 26 minutes played, assist for Son in a move he's heavily involved in twice
v Chelsea - 34 minutes played, assists for Son but disallowed for marginal offside, subbed early due to red card
v Wolves - 75 minutes played, scores
v Villa - 90 minutes played, first full game for the club, assists for Son but disallowed for marginal offside, contributes well to a team making bucket loads of chances against a tough opponent

And those are just the contributions that immediately sprang to mind at 8am on a Monday morning.

Take him out your team FFS and the goals will come flowing back. Come on, you know how it works!!!

Yes I take your point. But we are looking for a one vs one winner down the flanks rather than another passer back.

Fish and Rice said Sonny couldn't shoulder the burden of scoring every week alone....and I agree .We need new help up front imo.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

I don't think Johnson is the problem but we do need more quality up front/in the attacking positions to take the burden off Sonny.

We have injuries for sure but Veliz is clearly not ready yet, Richy has been poor allbeit we now know he's been playing with an injury, Perisic was great in this system but is what 35 now..., Solomon was slowly adapting to the role but don't think he'll score many, Kulu has 3 goals in 13 and whilst I really like the look of Johnson he's not prolific. I think we need to add one top attacking player ideally who can play up front or on the wing and who scores goals, failing that we just need to sign another top out and out striker imo.
