Son can absolutely do that in system where we have most of the ball provided you kept the ball to him quickly. There will always be opportunities for transition. The season started that way. Ange allows them now to keep the ball and pass incredibly slowly. So he's marked out of the game.

This is our biggest problem and Madders just admitted it on TV. Didn’t move the ball quickly, didn’t play risky passes, didn’t play with courage. At 0-0 there were absolutely spaces for us to attack.

If you get the ball to Son in space where he can run onto it and shoot, he will always deliver goals. If you play like sideways slugs and ask him to hold the ball up with his back to goal, he will do fuck all. That’s not his game.
 
Time to dust this bad boy down....

The overreaction on this board after a good game and after a bad game is hilarious.

On Sonny when he plays well: “fucking legend.”

On Sonny when he doesn’t play well: “he can fuck off to Saudi Arabia and he can take Richarlison with him”. And Ritchie didn’t even play.
 
We can say all we want about the bad things Jose, and Conte brought to the club.

But both recognized winners throughout their managerial careers, and there aren't that many in that starting eleven that were out there today.

We struggle against the lowest of the low, something that is glossed over by a goal or three in injury time.

I am still out on Ange, his tactics and unbending plan on how to play the game. Time will tell but I have seen little progress since January, and wonder how he plans to improve players when we all see no genuine improvement playing just one game a week.
Unfortunately, the style of play worked well enough in, the working mans league of Scotland but it's being shown up here.
Lovely man, says all the right things but, the standard of coaching and football leave a lot to be desired.
The defence is shit, hasn't kept a clean sheet for months, that is not the standard of a team chasing top four.
In any case, playing like this in the CL would create laughter among the other clubs.

To be fair there are some of us who think Richarlison can fuck off to Saudi even when he does play.
