Then when that doesnt work for a game, its ‘oh he needs to out on the wing he’s too isolated centrally’ rinse, repeat.
He should be starting upfront every game. Desperately need a winger in the summer.

We were at our best with him up top. The issue is with inverted fullbacks you need the wide attackers to bring width and beat players outside. He can do it but not often enough. He was scoring consistently up top as well so it's not a reaction to today.Then when that doesnt work for a game, its ‘oh he needs to out on the wing he’s too isolated centrally’ rinse, repeat.

I just think he's wasted on the left. Yes his pace is diminished when teams park the bus but if we get a half chance in the box I want it falling to Son before anyone else.
Was amazed he stayed on the left when Richy went off.
I think you have to give Ange the benefit of the doubt.I just think he's wasted on the left. Yes his pace is diminished when teams park the bus but if we get a half chance in the box I want it falling to Son before anyone else.

I think the eye test tells you that the chances aren't falling from the left, so I do hope that Ange picks up on it. Richy doesn't score 9/9 playing where Son did today. We're trying to create chances in the middle of the box. Son scored most of his goals this season playing up top.But he was moved to the left because that's where more chances are. Ange said it himself

If I see Son get the ball 3/4 of the way up the pitch on the touchline too many more times I might cry, because it's an absolute waste of time. Rather it be Werner getting that ball and Sonny in the middle, because nothing comes of that play with Son getting the ball there.
Ange needs to give Sonny license to shoot. I cant believe im saying this, but he needs to, like he used to, shoot at goal instead of passing to players in better position.
The problem is the style of football. Ange want his wingers to hold max width, while our inverted wing backs push forward. So Son is basically a traffic cone on the left. He barely get into areas where he can shoot. And the few times he does get into those areas, its cluttered because our inverted wing backs is pushing forward. I can't understand why you do this to one of the most clinical finishers in the world. And even if we move Son into Richarlison position, we still waste Werner or someone else out on the wing, especially when we play against low blocks teams. When an inverted wing back push forward, its not the same as when a winger cuts inside and make a run into the box. Right now, its very easy to defend against us. I'm not saying Ange should scrap inverted wing backs, but maybe mix it up more? I feel like we are more extreme and more predictable than other teams using it.Ange needs to give Sonny license to shoot.

He's realised he forgot his shirt...Just had this ad pop up on reddit which made me laugh...no idea why: View attachment 138014
