You'd start to question playing last season's Golden Boot winner already?
The problem with strikers is you never know which game is going to be the one they produce the goods.
Our so-called 'streaky' Son was not only the highest scorer from open play in the PL last season but also by some distance the most consistent. To illustrate this I posted on here the record of every top striker in the PL, game by game, revealing they all had several longer runs without scoring then the South Korean. The very fact these other strikers all continued to be played week in week out despite their goal famines suggests their managers recognised the importance of sticking with them, knowing their patience would be rewarded in the long run.
Surely therefore it's time to get off Son's back and instead start giving him the support he has earned?
Saying a player who is underperforming can be replaced by a summer signing that was signed to add options and depth for this very same scenario does not equate to me "getting on Son's back". Have you seen our fixture list over the next few weeks? Have you heard of maximising the use of a squad to keep the TEAM as effective as possible or keeping players who are not playing at their best on their toes?
I take you don't believe we should buy additional players for the Spurs squad AND use them?
In fact, is there ANY scenario that you would have Son start on the bench (save for him being injured or not fully fit)?
