Pleased to see Son doing well today. People were wrong to write him off, hope the team get behind him now as I can see him scoring a good number of goals for us this season.

Oh thank god, I thought the internet was getting to me and I imagined it
Things Tottenham and god have in common: One Son.
He said he fucked international duty off to "kick start" his career for us.
That's a kick start if anything, init?

Bought a new tv yesterday (blatant) and was wondering who would be the first Spurs player to score on it.
Since it is a Sony, I probably should have guessed.

Son playing well and Eriksen turning up, kind of what we really needed after a couple of average performances of decent results.
I get why people compare Son to Lamela although I think the problems both faced are different.
Lamela was always great at pressing and getting involved, it was his decision making in the final third that was the issue. With Son his weakness is in the pressing/getting involved part of his game, he works really hard but last season looked a headless chicken, it's the tactical part of Son's game that is what will IMO make or break him.
Great yesterday, for me I hope Poch works and works in him as his raw talent is great, but his positioning can improve. Good potential.

Son is a different player to most of our other wide players - he's a true forward and not much of a MF. He has terrific movement in the final 3rd and is a great finisher with both feet, but he's not nearly as intricate in his passing as the guys we have that are more midfielders (Lamela / Eriksen, etc). Like most forwards, he's also a bit greedy (see: his 2nd goal, which was a ruthlessly greedy first time shot).
I like that he gives us options depending on what we need from a match, and he's a genuinely good player who will put the ball in the net if he plays.

Did Son not play on the left for Leverkusen? I believe that was meant to be his best position.
Would like Poch to keep him in the side, he may benefit from a run of games - but there's so many options may not be possible.

Son is a guy who should constantly be in front of the ball rather than behind it.
I fully believe, that he is a 15 goals a season man
Someone said it before, but yesterday I couldn't help but think that when Son has too much time to think he seems to always make bad decisions, but when it's just pure reflexes he looks outstanding. I can definitely see Pochettino's reason last year for saying that Son would make a good backup for Kane. He definitely has an eye for goal and has reflexes are very good.
Many of the same problems he exhibited last season are still very present, and his biggest problem (his inconsistence) won't be seen until we've seen him play again.
I like son on the left, eriksen in the middle and lamela on the right. Dele was good at CM next to dier too
Heung-Min Son is your Man of the Match at Stoke! 11 September 2016 - News - tottenhamhotspur.com
Did they really have to add subtitles....? Son probably speaks better English than some of our English players down the years!

I was a bit concerned letting Chadli go at the end of the window. Sonny's performance did a lot to ease those concerns. He still has some things to work on but that was a great display to build on, hopefully he kicks on from here. We do have a lot of options for our front attacking 3 though, which is good going to be hard for anyone to nail down a run of games.
He had some great games next to Dier there last year.
The team seem to actually be more creative with him coming from deep IMO. I'll caveat with the fact I do have a terrible memory.
He basically did a Chadli season Youtube show-reel but in one game
I've watched that 20-30 times now... he scores EVERY time!
That's an amazing shot accuracy to goal ratio... and he's just scored another 15 as I was typing this.... that's 100% so far and he just keeps going... the guy is a machine!
Chadli was a good player, but Sonny is so much more compatible with Poch.
Dele is very, very good at just instinctively beating a man and bursting 10-20-30 yards with the ball when he wins it. That really helps us out the such critical phases.
He also gets in the box a whole lot even then.
