I feel he still could. Son used to play on the shoulder of the defender and could turn and run at goal, whereas nowadays he's having to turn into 3-4 players because we're/he's so deep.I'm not sure Kane and Son can play together now that Son can't run any longer.
Soft goal against, nothing created going forward.
Breaking from deep with such predictable tactics in literally every single game makes it easy for the opponent to know exactly where Son, Kane and Kulu will look to receive the ball and which space they'll be running into. It's why without a clever player to unlock the opponents we'll continue to see Kane and Son be tackled as soon as they get the ball. Often by 2-4 players each time. It's that predictable.
