Another case of give a player time, he was on fire today !!!

Bit gutted about these rumours he wanted to leave,great talent and offers us a brilliant option and goal scoring threat.

Don't know this stats exactly but think it's about 12 goals in 30 games which for a wide man who hasn't started all of those games is pretty impressive!!

Really happy for him.

I was very anti Son last season, so have to admit that I was wrong. Although that he now looks good in comparison to last year's first choice front four isn't just a matter of Son improving, unfortunately.

Looking very good, just needs to settle a little in his shooting.

Think Poch has used the same psychology on Son he used on Lamela, you can go if you want...

Really impressed with him this season. Pleased from him that he's found some form and is enjoying his football. He really needs to be taking corners for us. He did end up with a couple of poor ones but the majority were excellent. Deserved a goal and an assist. Was able to beat his man and put in some dangerous balls. Only slight criticism is his touch can let him down slightly. Other than that a MOTM performance.

I love the options this now gives us. We now have three quality players for all three positions behind Harry;

Eriksen-Son-GKN for LWF
Alli - Eriksen - Lamela - Kane for number 10
Lamela - Sissoko - Son got RWF

so many options, pace, guile, force.

Lovely. Really pleased for Sonny

He looks so much more dangerous off the left than he did last season up top of wide right.

Dangerous either way, let him go outside and he'll cross excellently with his left, let him come inside and you're in trouble with his finishing ability.

Much more to come from him as well, still feel his decision making and final ball when presented with a simple pass needs to improve but he's now a key member of the squad.

Delighted

Son started last year great, got injured and people through him under the bus. No surprise to see him win over some folks with his displays so far this season. He is a welcome weapon to an attack that needs goals.

His 1st half corners were really good. We won't talk about the ones int he 2nd half.

Thought he was really good today and never stopped trying. Excellent game.

had Denayer on toast this afternoon

looked like doing something every time he was on the ball but the most impressive thing to me was his willingness to sprint back to help out Vert/Davies at LB

really happy for him

Reminds me a little bit of Bale. Fast, direct, a nightmare for fullbacks, able to cross or shoot. Obviously not the same caliber of player, but similar in style.

I am not going to take full credit, but Son's resurgence is directly correlated with my removal of Son as my avatar. I don't think that is a coincidence..
Exactly the same happened when I removed Dembele from my avatar! Suddenly he was awesome, as I'd always tried to say he was.
