Man of the match - Burnley (H)

[milo]

Who was best?

 

[mephitis]

Voted Bale. Kane & Son underachieving in the last couple of games but Sanchez, Reguillon & Lucas (in that order) merit their nominations.

 

[Raziel]

Bale, Son actually had a decent game (should have put away one of his opportunities to score himself)

 

[Spur of the moment]

Okay so today Kane scores a beauty, Son gets two assists, yet both underachievied.

Happy days!

Kane was fine/good today, we just take it for granted sometimes.

Might be always, his consistency makes lots of people "normalize" his achievements

34 games this season -> 22 goals, 14 assists (double figures for both in the PL as well)

By their (high) standards, yes. Sorry to rattle your cage but did you not make a similar comment about Sanchez in the match thread, for which I called you out on? Touche I suppose......

Son created 7 out of our 14 shots yesterday getting 2 assists and having a couple of shots himself - Gareth got the goals and i voted for him myself yesterday but looking back at the game Son was the key player in most of our good build up play

I've been very critical of Son lately, but he was back at it yesterday.

After getting a week's rest .. he almost always looks better after a break.

Especially with Bale & Dele getting more time, Vinicius as backup, we need to give Son a bit more rotation

Had his main man behind him at FB

Last few games, Son and Kane have been looking to find each other too much to the exclusion of others. I think they want to get to beat Shearer and Sutton's record of pairs scoring/assisting each other in a season. At the moment this is tied. It is becoming something of a monkey around their necks. It was evidenced as Kane missed a really easy (by his standards) chance at the end of the game set up by Son. As soon as it is over the better imo.
