I believe Son is least effective when we play 3 at the back with Kane as the main striker. Looking back at some of the games we have won with both playing, it has been 4 at the back, with Son, Eriksen and Dele in behind rotating positions.
For the rest of the season, when Dele is back I’d prefer us to go back to 4-2-3-1. We’ve played our best football playing that formation this season.
Since 16/17 (when we started predominantly playing 3 at the back)
Sons record with 3 at the back:
Played: 29
Goals: 15
Assists: 8
Goal or assist every 113 minutes.
Sons record with 4 at the back:
Played: 102
Goals: 38
Assists: 24
Goal or assist every 148 minutes.
