I’ve said that son is great option wide
And at CF he is poor
He can’t keep a ball or pass a ball
So therefore in Ange ball he can’t play the game at CF
Especially as most teams play a low block against us
Because he can’t keep the ball it allows teams to counter more
Now Richy when fit, and despite his weaknesses was getting a goal a game
We also weren’t getting the same counters because he literally played on the CBS meaning there wasn’t a spare man for the opposition.
Appreciate you may not see it that way but the numbers don’t lie
Unless we move back to long ball counter attacking.. like Saudi Sportswashing Machine did to us … then Sonny is only good against 5 teams as CF. He can play WF against the rest and probably be very good
The issue with counter attacking is your team are getting turned. The reason why you need a CF is that they normally minimise that “punt” by putting pressure in the central areas where the opposition tend to start the counters
The sonny example form Saudi Sportswashing Machine was him and Maddison literally trying to play simple 1-2s on the the of their area meaning one of their 3 Cbs stepped out to them and their full back took the ball and launched a quick counter
That CB can’t do that if he is marking the CF
As I said, look at Morata for Spain to understand how Poseidon football works now. Most sides don’t have prolific CFs instead they have players do the basics well
Richy was successful scoring tap ins. Sorry but I think we need slightly more than that from a CF. We can’t rely exclusively on tap ins.
I’m curious as to what you think about the defending from the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game considering all of the goals seems to be all Son’s fault.
