I've yet to see him talking to the ref.
Part of the captain's role is to pressure the ref and ensure we get the decisions we want.

2015-2020 I always called Son our most important player. He was an unpredictable livewire that made things happen around him. It's only in the last 2 or so seasons that his quality has started to be recognised, we've known for ages how good and important he is but it's taken the rest of the football world quite some time to realise.

I think it was a mixture of trying to conserve his energy levels across the season as he's our main goal threat and we don't have a replacement (Veliz to be seen) and trying to continue coaxing something out of Richarlison. Bringing him on at that stage for Some shows a great deal of trust and belief by Ang in Richy. It was the wrong decision imo but hopefully it all goes towards getting Richy performing to a decent level.

You weren't watching yesterday. He was talking to the ref during VAR penalty viewing. You see him run over to the ref over the course of the game and shoo our players away so they don't get cards.

Good, no I didn't see that. Those little edges matter in the big games.

He definitely does. Quite often it might be off camera. I noticed it a lot during the Sheffield Utd game as well.

Gave me goosebumps watching that. Love the passion
Had a knock before the game, so did Maddison, we were risking them

No Kane? No problem! Son was an absolute assassin yesterday. I still can't get over the finish for his first goal. Maddison also seems to have established some kind of telepathic link with Son given he's been here for all of about five seconds.
I'm happy for Son being captain as he might not fit that role in the traditional sense, but I think the most important thing is that he leads by example and that is generally infectious. He and Maddison pressed really well but I know that as a team, we could be doing better in this regard. Obviously, we can revisit that in January and at the end of the season to see any progress made there.

He has had 3 finishes this season (both yesterday and the first goal of his hattrick, the chip over the keeper) that were the mark of top level player with confidence.
Son has always been a very good player with moments of greatness, if he can switch to that mode more consistently, it will be very interesting.

Just that first goal alone was absolutely stunning. The number of opposition players around him, it was basically threading a needle at high speed. And agreed, he's had some extremely technical finishes so far. We know he can smash them in from distance with bend into the top corner but for him to score like that yesterday was even more satisfying for me, like a sucker punch out of nowhere.
Finally watched the highlight on MotD2 last night. Anyone else spot Son give a quick shhhh to the Goon fans as he ran past them celebrating his 2nd?

Deserves the chant 'He's one of our own'. Genuinely believe we should sing that to him. Get a petition sorted lads. Make it happen. He's earned it.

I like your idea. But. That chant is meant for players that have come through the ranks. And re-using a chant on another player after one has just left feels a bit cheap to me. I remember after Hoddle left they started using his song on Waddle. Felt disrespectful to me.
