spot on!! one of the best posts ive seen on this site!Sentimentality which has allowed the likes of Sanchez, Dier, Winks, Davies, Lloris etc. remain at the club for far too long.
It starts from the club and filters down to the fans until it becomes normal to accept declining standards and "well isn't he a great guy".

So he can't play LW and can't play CF - give him a go at LB next?He couldn’t hack it against a 19 year old RB. Passed back every time again. Don’t want to hear Son LW shouts anymore
service? what service is he meant to get? he played wide today hes meant to provide the service! when hes striker hes not in the box to receive service cos hes a pussy who dont want to head the ball or compete ( use chelsea second goal for reference).Do you expect him to create miracles when the service is non-existent?
I don't think he is "scared" to shoot... I mean why would he be? I think its more Ange ball than anything.It's very cliché but I think he's just physically exhausted mixed in with his body just simply getting on. I don't think his body will allow him to do what he wants to actually achieve.
This guy has played a monstrous amount of football for club and country for the past decade. Barely ever gets a rest, barely ever rotated.
A player of his profile was always going to slow down after 30 - the thing with Son is, you could always rely on him to score regardless of his overall game. But nowadays, he almost seems scared to shoot, which means all you get is someone who is quite easy to mark out of a game, doesn't take players on and if he's not shooting, he might as well not be playing.

I mean how many goals did we score outside the box since Ange came? It seems like we always want to make the extra pass to score inside the box. Trying to create that perfect goal...
Shit like that only works in SPL.
Faded at the end of last season too.
We all love him but he's not a player that helps you challenge for titles anymore. Another player who spent his peak years wasted under Levynomics
you have a short memory. we had the best back 4 or one of in the world. we had dembele and eriksen who everyone raves about and a dele alli who for 2 years everyone thought was going to be the best thing since sliced bread....we won fuck all!A third great player up top to compliment them, an elite defender, keeper and midfielder whilst they were at their best and we could’ve won stuff.
he's also afraid to take on a academy fullback playing his 2nd PL game. he's afraid to go for a header. he's afraid to put in a tackle unless hes trying to break someone's leg.I don't think he is "scared" to shoot... I mean why would he be? I think its more Ange ball than anything.

thats why hes coddled and captain.But he brings tourists.
Indeed Ange ball principles really taking hold after almost an entire season of practice sessions.Which is completely different to how we played in the first few months of the season...
Son is very limited player - world class in the right system but otherwise …Agreed. He still has great technique but I think his contributions fail to outweigh his negative impact on our overall play.
I’ve said it before but wasting the peak years of Kane-Son (two legitimately world class footballers who had a wonderful understanding/balance) instead of trying to capitalise and build a top team round it is fucking criminal.
We only signed VDV when Kane left. A CB the club has needed for years. Only finally accepted Lloris was on his last legs too. The club used Kane/Son to achieve the bare minimum for years.
A third great player up top to compliment them, an elite defender, keeper and midfielder whilst they were at their best and we could’ve won stuff. But instead we treaded water. Then one left, the other declined and we signed some decent players.
Fucking take Levy to the moon and leave him there.
we all know what son can do, So why doesn't angeSon is very limited player - world class in the right system but otherwise …
Son is world class at
1. Running into space and finishing long balls over the top and through balls -
2. Curling long shots from outside the box into the top corner.
Neither of these are things under Ange-ball. So he’s USELESS for us. We should get rid since Ange isn’t going anywhere this summer.
Frankly not sure how he has 16 goals and 9 assists. He’s been completely useless recently now that Ange ball principles are now fully ingrained and other managers have adjusted to neutralize Ange-ball.
You're clueless. You think he didn't head the ball for the second goal because he was scared of heading? Have you ever played football? How are they heading that ball unless they are much taller?service? what service is he meant to get? he played wide today hes meant to provide the service! when hes striker hes not in the box to receive service cos hes a pussy who dont want to head the ball or compete ( use chelsea second goal for reference).
