Oh Son. Have a lie-down fella.
Son Heung-Min clearly needs a rest, not fevered talk of him being ‘dropped’Son Heung-Min hasn’t been firing on all cylinders and Spurs need to give him a rest, but fevered talk of ‘dropping’ him is doing no favours.. There has been a sense since the start of the new season that this team had been grinding out results rather than sparkling, and that winning without style brings an inevitability about what was to follow.
With 23 Premier League goals last season, Son tied for the Golden Boot with Mo Salah although none of his came from the penalty spot.

‘That form was enough for Conte to claim that he would be “crazy” to rotate the 30-year-old out of his starting line-up,’ wrote the Mirror. Well yes, obviously. That was then, and this is now. At the time that Conte made that comment, Son was his top goalscorer and in incredible form. Now he looks tired, and strikers need both confidence and to be in peak condition to perform at their best.was ‘Antonio Conte sends warning to misfiring Son Heung-min and goes back on “crazy” vow’.
It’s hardly as though Spurs are short of attacking options, either. Kulusevski has continued to impress and can consider himself very unfortunate to have lost his place in the first team, and while Richarlison has made more headlines for his shithousery than his performances, that’s not to say that he’s been any slouch on the the pitch, either. Both players could do a job for Conte, and the biggest block to anything would seem to be the head coach’s reluctance to change his first first XI.
