This. I watched that 52 minute video of all his goals earlier in the day and that is a typical Sonny finish.It was a great finish. But for him it's a standard finish

He himself mentioned confidence the last couple of interviews, which I thought interesting.
He looked in a bit of pain when he came off. Made me wonder if he’s been struggling with a niggle all season. It wouldnt be the first time we’ve kept on playing a player who isn’t 90% let alone 100% fit.
He even said that’s why Ange wants him at #9 (because of his pressing) AND said that he enjoys doing it!This guy has went up in my estimations if that was even possible. Leads from the front line. Watched him sprint at full speed to press the ball on the 70 min mark.
I thought he might be too nice but great to see him holding people accountable too as you say and then leading by example with the hard work pressing and quality finishingIt's not just about being likable; he has been vocal on the pitch, holding his teammates accountable for not making the right pass and for not pressing higher. As much as I like Lloris, we have been calling for such a captain for some time now. Sonny is more than just a likable guy, he's a good leader.
Ironic - given that Lloris famously gave Sonny a bollocking on the pitch for Sonny's own lack of effort in a game...As much as I like Lloris, we have been calling for such a captain for some time now.
Just having a look back through some posts in this thread as there some wild calls last season for him to be sold etc. and I noticed I posted this in January. Turned out he was playing with an injury impacting his form.....got something correct at last in this bloody game!
So glad he is back on form, playing well and most importantly being played properly and to his strengths.
He literally scored one of those on Monday.meh, i miss his curlers into the top corner, hes just doing identical tap-ins these days
