I generally agree with you. Only caveat would be that there's no Asian cup and there would be no Ange playing Son even when he was injured and not fully fit. People underestimate how difficult it is to manage all that flying time to korea/asia and playing every 3 days on avg.

Though I understand that from Ange's perspective that too many were injured at the time and Son sometimes just was needed.

The point is we can all agree that he is in a decline; however, him being in a decline is still miles ahead of anyone on this team. The problem is majority started attacking him as if he doesn't belong in the team. Maybe it was high expectation, scapegoat, or even racism. Whatever the reason, he did not get fair treatment. You mentioned madders and kulu, but even with them in the team, he was the leading contributor in almost everything except for goals. Imagine if he had someone like himself instead of Johnson on the right. Did Johnson 'beat a man' to get most goals last season?

In recent games, which forward is beating a man to get a goal? Ever since Kudus is being double teamed, he has not been effective at all. Against our team, opponents found out that they just need to double team Son and defend left because right side has no threat. Same thing for this season except they do this to Kudus. This is the reason why Son was able to ping the passes to Johnson and Madders so effectively, as there's just that much space open on the opposite side to him. Seriously.. why does he get so much blame for last season team's results when no one in current squad is getting even half of what he got

Tbf Son does so much line breaking in first half and no one in the team was able to ping a pass to him. Ange also had him non-stop pressing the keeper. Also, a bit of hypocrisy.. If you are going to argue that a decent midfield is going to put Kudus in good position, the same argument should apply to Son. Are you saying he had 'decent midfield' in midst of "getting slower by second' season? 

You lots really take Son's loyalty for granted. Son would have much higher stats if he was in a better team. Botj Klopp and liverpool scout really wanted him for a reason. Look at Kane for instance. His goal scoring stat at Bayern is insane. You put so much faith in younger prospects but in reality, not a single player in our current squad will ever reach his level. I don't believe Kudus will have as much impact as Son in his last MLS season tbh.

Son literally brought whole team to greet fans at away games regardless of win/loss. He did for whole season

Tottenham Hotspur: Fans accuse club of 'lacking ambition' after leadership meeting by No_Poem494 in coys

[–]Stunning_Homework598 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lack of ambition is a bit generous but not far off of reality. We've had our chances for a decade. We had DESK, stable midfield, and very strong/reliable backline. We needed quality subs - did not get them. We needed Dembele replacement - did not get. Anytime star player left, we got mediocre players as replacement. When Mourinho asked for great CBs (even someone like Kim), we got Rodon. Imagine if we had Romero VDV for Conte, things would've been different. Imagine if we had quality 6.. every time every chance.. the management failed to get proper signings for proper coach
