Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[rossdapep]

This is a hard watch - seems distraught.

He can always hold his head up high.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

Wankers. Football 'fans' on social media are the fucking worst. Grow up.

Agree.

 

[Davo99]

What?

It’s pretty obvious. I’m tired of these big emotional interviews from the players who then go out and show nothing in the games following.

 

[Nicki78]

I like Son, of course I do, but he’s just another player we have that cares way more after the game is over and we’ve lost than he does during the actual match.

They all come out with the same old shit after the games, yet serve up the same old shit during them. I’m not feeding into it anymore, he’s been poor too.

Edit: obviously shouldn’t be getting racially abused though.

He had a good game today IMO - I don’t agree with this at all

That’s his third goal in his last 20. He has been poor.

I don't know what you're expecting though, do you want them to do more running?, do you want them to fight the opposition?, more shouting on the pitch? more finger pointing?

Some of the players are not good enough, sometimes they have bad games, sometimes the opposition is better, sometimes the manager has to to more to get more out of the players, I don't understand why players can't be upset because they didn't play well?

Yes, I want the players to do their talking on the pitch, not off it.

Kanes another one. Oh I might leave, I’m too good for this, I need to win trophies - then quite often plays half arsed and does fuck all? Not for me.

Lloris another one. Goes absolutely nuts, big emotional interview calling people out, hasn’t really put in a good performance since.

Everyone’s a captain off the pitch, only maybe Hojbjerg actually plays like one.

Hopefully, it's not too serious but also, hope he gets the international break off to rest and recharge. He's been playing back to back games and this was bound to happen.

@Danfunkel why are you rating this post from before the international break with a d'oh rating?

Kane is the best player in the PL or in the top 2. He does his talking on the pitch, he can't carry us on his back forever.

 

[Galactico14]

Racism toward Asians is far too casual and normalised. Need United to come out with a statement themselves since Twitter was awash with it from their fans. Sickening.

agree, however next time your at a home game (when we’re allowed in obviously!) take a walk after the game to the park lane, where the players car park exit is, your see lines of adoring Asian fans waiting for a glimpse of son, and just take a minute to listen to the throw away digs & comments from our OWN fans towards them...it’s not just a social media problem

Of course Kane is really good, I’m not suggesting otherwise.

Well more than likely it was in error, but I wouldn't take forum ratings so seriously ?

Mate I completely agree. Just within the context of this situation United condemning it is important since there were shocking numbers of their fans engaging with it today. Discrimination against Asians is widespread and far too accepted in society. Needs rooting out from all corners.

 

[Locotoro]

What have they been saying??

 

[rez9000]

I hate seeing Sonny like this. I hate it. My heart breaks. I'm genuinely welling up a little for him - he's such a good guy, always happy. And to top off what happened on the pitch, a bunch of pondlife does this to him too!

WANKERS!

Agree heard many of our fans saying stuff about son or Koreans and other of our own players. Really distasteful and large part of why I stopped going to games.

Basically referring to the crass shit said to Asian people in general because of their disallowed goal.

It's the problem with fans in general. Football attracts some of the dumbest twats and they express anger in a players performance through racism... It's why I won't take my kids.

Very worried after the amazon documentary that with no champs league his dad might order him to get a move. Seems to have no power in decision making and last transfer came about quite abruptly.

Jose has even managed to break Sonny. That takes some doing.

I sincerely hope that our players take their disgruntlement to Daniel Levy's door and not to that of their agents.
