Should be a good thing with this international break that South Korea's games are in Wales and Newcastle.
Just realised that the Asian cup is in January. Does that mean we lose Son for up to a month? Alongside Bissouma & Sarr at AFCON?
He needs to stay at CF. His best times with us were with him playing ahead of Kane if anything on the shoulder. When he plays wide he is too much of a team player and drops deep to help the team. When he plays central he stays on the shoulder and he is lethal. Can see him causing Van Dijk nightmares in a few weeks.
I think we're better set to deal with that than the midfield. Richarlison can go central, Perisic/Solomon left and Kulu/Johnson right. Not forgetting Gil and Sessegnon should they still be here for that period.Yes, at the same time. 2-4 league games and one FA cup. Possible season killer.
Great post, I love these type of stats, shows just how important Sonny is for us.Had a conversation with a Spurs fan about how Son and Kane have combined for the most goals in PL history, but also that Son has always stepped up when Kane has been out of the team. Well, after his three goals at the weekend, I decided to spend a bit of time to find out exactly how good Son has been in Kane's absence over the years.
Son has started 65 Spurs games without Kane (34 in PL, 15 in Europe and 16 in the domestic cups). He's been playing as the number 9, but also on the wing when players such as Richarlison, LLorente, Janssen, etc has played up top. I have also included games where Kane have been forced off early due to injury.
Here is the breakdown in terms of goal contributions:
15/16 Total - 7 Matches, 4 goals, 2 assists.
16/17 Total - 14 Matches, 13 goals, 3 assists.
17/18 Total - 10 Matches, 6 goals, 2 assists.
18/19 Total - 13 Matches, 10 goals, 2 assists.
19/20 Total - 9 Matches, 6 goals, 1 assist.
20/21 Total - 5 Matches, 3 goals, 0 assists.
21/22 Total - 2 Matches, 1 goal, 0 assists.
22/23 Total - 1 Match, 2 goals, 0 assists.
23/24 Total - 4 Matches, 3 goals, 0 assists.
Grand Total - 65 Matches, 48 Goals, 10 assists - 0.89 G/A per game.
I suspected the numbers to be good, but the results are quite remarkable. With a new manager that suits his playing style, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic that he can have a really good season.
And that is why Kane should not have started the Champs League finalGreat post, I love these type of stats, shows just how important Sonny is for us.
In my own opinion too many last season and this were ready to write him off!

Thanks for doing the legwork on this.

We had two world class players and now we have one. One is enough with a young, hungry team to do serious damage though.Had a conversation with a Spurs fan about how Son and Kane have combined for the most goals in PL history, but also that Son has always stepped up when Kane has been out of the team.

Actually would like to hear the one of our own chant for Son.Quick to squash any saudi rumours this summer also, going into yet another season of uncertainty when he could have cashed it in big time for what would be his last big contract.
The fans lapped up the harry kane one of own stuff and so badly wanted it to mean more than it has proved to, but Son is the real one of our own of the last decade.
Loved all three goals yesterday, right side left side and quick decisive finishes.
