He was garbage today. He still has too many games like today, where he plays like he's never seen a football before.

Shame he can't find more consistency and his ability in the build up phase of the game still needs work. If he's not scoring goals, he really struggles to influence games.

over the past 3 and a half seasons son's 69 goals and 40 assists averaging 19.7 goals a season and 11.7 assists per season. All the while not being the teams main attacking force. If that isnt consistency then u lads can continue blowing it out of youre asses.

Don't you be bringing hard facts to an argument!
Oh man, these "How dare you bring logic into this thread?!"-style posts are just the worst. Just give @tiger666 a deserved Winner rating for the post and move on. These posts are just sooooooo unfunny. (Brought to you by scat's semi-regular rant in the What Is Grinding Your Gears? thread.)

I just checked youtube and some of his build up play has been really good this season, but again they all come in games where he turns up and generally also scores too. Some of his assists, for hitting the post against Liverpool for Kane's goal are stretching it a bit. When Son is off it, he is really off it though.

The Liverpool one wouldn’t be classed as a assist thus isn’t included on that list.

Stats don't always tell the full story. You aren't seriously saying Son is a creator are you? He is not a player who excels in the build up play, try using your eyes.

If in doubt use a straw man just to try and enhance your argument.

You can tell the people that only watch Spurs for the most part -

What players perform amazingly every game?

The problem with using eyes only is that people only choose to see what they want to see rather than the full picture. Son isn't the perfect footballer but no one is. However, few Spurs fans fail to see that he's definitely one of our top players who contributed to our attacking play consistently. Even when he was not scoring yesterday, he was constantly back helping Verts defend against Traore and that's valuable as well.

Messi doesn't play his best or turn up every game. It happens in all sports not just football. Let's try to be a little realistic.
