The “streaky” Son banging in more goals for fun. Been our 2nd best attacking player for the last season and a half. Some streak.
I think he does go on streaks of scoring and being deadly, then goes quiet for a few games, then repeats. I don't think that's a bad thing. Might be my imagination, I don't have the stats to hand to back it up.
28 goals in 90 prem games iirc. The only other midfielder that comes close to that is Alli who has 33 in 98 I believe. I definitely think streaky was a perfect term for Son two years ago but not now. If you score 10 league goals two seasons in a row that’s not a streaky player in my opinion.
Well if you score those goals in bunches and then go several games without scoring, that's what people mean by "streaky" right? So those numbers don't disprove that imo, but I don't have a full breakdown of Sonny's scoring pattern so I don't know for sure -- just a feeling I have when watching us and Son, that he goes through phases where it seems like he's on fire and can't stop scoring, then he quietens down for a few games. But it's not a criticism, just an observation. When he gets on a run of form, keep playing him imo.
Also, a separate point -- but I think Dele and Son are more forwards in our team than midfielders. I'd say Eriksen is a midfielder, but Dele and Son are more like Salah and Mane for Liverpool, in that they are there more for their work in the final 3rd as forwards than in the middle 3rd as midfielders.
Fair calls
It’s why eriksen is our lunch pin
No other players is the glue that keep the team together

People have claimed lamella is the man to cover but lamela isn’t in the same league. We have no one else who can play those little balls over the top or across the area and do it as well .... well maybe Kane but that would be a wasteEriksen is very important isn't he, you normally notice it massively when he's not playing. Though as it happens, thought it was one of his more average days today. The whole team was a bit "meh" apart from Son, who was electric. You just knew from the first minute he was gonna have a good day.

Yep it started with Lampard at Chelski, the is no way he was a midfielder despite everyone saying he was. Which is why playing him in a base midfield position alongside Gerrad for England was utter madness that seemed to befall a few England managers.
Frustration with not playing or being subbed is a perfectly natural and I would say good response. We want players that are desperate to play and perform.Son looked cheesed off on the bench whenever the TV panned on him
hopefully Poch has told the midfielders "we have 10 midfielders for 5 spots, everyone needs match time, so mostly it will be midfielders who will be subbed"
I bet he has a massive hattrick bonusSon looked cheesed off on the bench whenever the TV panned on him
