Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[philll]

Cheers Jurgen, Son's crying.

Klinsmann is an absolute **** playing him in these pointless fucking matches. The club need to grow some bollocks and stop our players travelling for them

 

[thecook]

We need to rest him and he needs to be honest about where his fitness is. We cannot afford to lose him for an extended period.

Arteta is a **** but that's what he's managed to do with Saliba and Saka

We need to be more assertive.

I think he's still playing. Doesnt appear to be subbed according to the latest score.

SOU 6-0 VIE | South Korea - Vietnam

I really hope we can come to some agreement with South Korea to let Son rest over those two fixtures. Yes, he is an icon over there and he is of the mentality that he doesn't want to let his teammates or fans down, but we are talking about two friendlies here.

He had a poor last season by his standards due to playing in pain and discomfort. In the last few weeks he's been seen heavily bandaged after a Korea game (another friendly) and he has now had to come off early in two massive top 6 games for us.

The last time the Asian Cup was held, we came to an agreement that he would miss the first two Asia Cup games as a compromise for allowing him to leave mid season.
That won't be applicable this season as the PL winter break starts around the same time as the tournament starts.

Spurs can at the same time agree to let Son rest against Luton (or start from the bench), and we can give him a three week rest for the benefit of both club and country.

Such a predictable stupid mess.

Just scored 4th goal after 60 mins

Nothing like using words like "slow to get up" to garner a reaction.

I'll wait until he returns to the club before going mad over it.

Son is someone who wants to play EVERY minute despite how his body actually is. He has as much a part to play in saying no as the coaches and medical staff.

…and he is lying down in pain after

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I hate international breaks

Nothing that a good long haul flight can’t cure…

 

[13VanDerBale13]

5-0 up vs 10 men & he’s still on

 

[thebenjamin]

Got absolutely clattered as he scored that

 

[Mr Pink]

Got absolutely clattered as he scored that

Yes but looks fine in the end.

People need to stop getting so worked up over every little thing (not aimed at you mate)

If he was in serious discomfort he'd be signalling to come off.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Still hasn’t been taken off btw

 

[Athenspur]

Would serve them well, if he gets hurt in a meaningless game and misses the Asian Cup. For us of course it would be season over.

 

[WorthATry]

Still hasn’t been taken off btw

Looks like he's holding his foot in that one, so hopefully he was just caught or something

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I don’t think people appreciate how much pressure he is under to play for the national team. It’s not something he can ever turn away from - no matter how he feels.

 

[Led Revolver]

The annoying thing is that Ange normally takes him off by 60-75 mins, but Jurgen has insisted that he plays longer in a meaningless friendly!!

 

[Chris Finch]

I don’t think people appreciate how much pressure he is under to play for the national team. It’s not something he can ever turn away from - no matter how he feels.

Yes he can. He was literally injured before even meeting up with the NT.
The club has to be so much stronger in these situations
