Oh I remember that game the 30 min. he also struggled about the entire 30 min but still managed to assist 1 and got 1 PK resulting 3 pts for the team? Too bad he couldn't do it again.

Can't figure this lad out. He was outstanding on Saturday and then yesterday looked like he never kicked a football before
His "touch" was abominable. It wasn't the only time his "touch" deserted him. Shockingly poor performance- although on par with the rest. I doubt his stomach for a real sleeves up battle. He may have shown some bursts in the Spam game but between him hurdling Cech in the NLD & doing the unthinkable last night when clean through, I'm not wholly confident in him. It only looks good going round the keeper & passing it into an empty net when that actually happens. Not chasing the ball sideways towards the touch line. Very poor decision making.I just can't believe he did that. I know players want an open goal but ffs, it's a one on one just shoot the fucken thing. Between that, the shit defending and the ref bottling the red card decision before halftime; there was really only going to be one outcome.

Maybe stamina? on a thin squad at a position where any mistakes made are to be amplified? I remember when I was playing I couldn't even walk when I was tired let alone dribble or shoot. but that just was me lol. A highly paid and regarded footballer such as Son should be able to bury one right then and there. well maybe I want to recant the highly regarded part on this page lol. But truely unfortunate one on one missed in Monaco to say the least. well we know the window to load him off comes just about every 6 months
But he only played 30 minutes Saturday? I am not even talking about the one on one miss. As a whole he couldn't trap or pass a ball for 90 minutes yesterday. mind boggling
Recently his form has been off for sure and he has a touch of a rapist at the moment. But you know what they say about rapist, dangerous and unpredictable. Hope he comes good and rapes Chelsea this weekend.
I think that ONE of his problems is he seems TOO nice. .. and, dare I say, appearing as if he's just glad to be here!
Maybe he needs to add a nasty streak to his game??
:dembelewtf:
Not saying he gets sent off every week...
But, y'know... all nasty bastards have a bit of that in them... maybe some RUTHLESSNESS wouldn't go a miss!
...it's SONthing to think about!
We have precious few that can score and although he is not consistent he does get goals.And if that doesn't work let's ship him out to SONderland come January......

Wasted potential? Let's have a look at some facts, rather than opinion (PL only)It doesn't seem like he's solved any of the issues he had last year either. Only a third of the way through the season, but I'm not hopeful he will come good. Wasted potential, as his finishing when he has no time to think is very, very good. The issue arise when he has more than 2 seconds to think.

Matches (inc Wet Spam) 9
Goals: 4
Assists: 3 (Man City, Wet Spam 2)
our best performance of the season, Citeh 2-0. He was our best player.
Games he's played 9, we've scored 14, so he's scored or assisted half of them.
19 pts from 9 matches, over 2 a game.
"not hopeful he'll come good?" er, he has come good. He played for 15 mins v Spam, he gained us 3 pts from nowhere.
Our ppg last season was very much better when he played. Kane got more goals. I fully expect Son and Kane to score and create a lot of goals between them this season, especially when Toby is back and Moose gets fully fit. I really don't see how he could have done much more this season so far (barring putting Cech into row Zed at the Death Star).
This is a shit clip but should jog the memory, with the ball he still pulled away from Mustafi. He has the pace.Still baffles me that people think he's quick. Most defenders can keep up with him.
High acceleration, slow maximum speed.
Statistically, Dier is quicker than Son but accelerates like a slug.

He needs to be more consistent, his form tends to vary from game to game (sometimes in the same game). But he has pace.
