Both can be very guilty of poor decision making in the final third, often choosing the wrong option or hanging on to the ball and being crowded out.
Has to be said though, Son did score two today and a very cool finish for the winner.

And Lucas did A LOT of the gritty work. Tracked back, carried ball from our half etc. They are putting in shifts but firing a lot of blanks.
Dele and Lamela can also be guilty of this (Dele today in particular). That's why Harry was so important. He held the ball and made sure they got it in good positions to score.
Once he is back both Son and Moura will look more comfortable.
Son's been playing like Kane like Kane has been for the past 2 seasons - plays like shit but still finding a way to score goals. I guess without Kane, Son's doing his part in racking up the goal tally despite not doing the other things exceedingly well that we've been accustomed to seeing him do.
He's a great player and I love him but I wish he could work on the frustrating aspects of his game, including those fucking run ups.
It's about time to unleash his left foot.
I want to see goals like this
hopefully, with Bergwijn on the left, he will have more freedom to move around and shoot with left foot.

Think it has something to do with Mou. Trying to rein in Son's game and make him a more controlled, efficient player. It's obviously still a work in progress but I'm starting to see it pay off. It'll be interesting to see what Sonny's game looks like 12 months from now.
How many points have his goals been responsible for since Kane has been injured? His football doesn’t look great on the eye at the minute and he can be a bit frustrating to watch looks like he is badly out of his usual form , however he is scoring goals that are winning us games, player of the season so far for me
Son steps up when Kane is injured. We're lucky to have him.
He is an enigma, but glad he's our enigma.
Hopefully, the afters from the red cards are now becoming a distant memory, and he will get back to the top of his game (not doing badly considering!)

The last few games have been a real enigma indeed, I mean watching him has been just so painful and yet, he finishes games with goals.
I don’t know if he has ever played so badly to be honest, I know the goals just keep coming so it’s not a worry but just making an observation.
Does holding on to the ball too long make him a more efficient player?
Subbing a difference maker like Son off at 70 min always frustrated me
