Ange Postecoglou is the manager of Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur beat Brentford 3-1 in a Premier League match on Saturday. This win helped ease some pressure on the team. Tottenham had lost to Arsenal the week before. They also had a difficult win against Coventry in the League Cup. Winning games is the best way to deal with pressure.
Dominic Solanke scored his first goal for Tottenham in this match. Brennan Johnson had been criticized by fans recently. He turned off his social media because of this. But now Johnson has scored goals in two games in a row. James Maddison also scored in the game against Brentford. This helped take some pressure off him too. Son Heung-min is the team captain.
He helped set up two goals in the game. Son has been with Tottenham for almost ten years. Many people think of him as a club legend. Jamie O’Hara talked about Son during the Brentford match. O’Hara said Son has been an amazing player for Tottenham. He called Son a great player. Son joined Tottenham in 2015 when Mauricio Pochettino was the manager. But O’Hara thinks Son is finished now. He thinks Son needs to be replaced. O’Hara believes Son is only starting games because there is no one better to take his place. Son scored 17 goals in the Premier League last season.
He also helped set up 10 goals for his teammates. This season Son has been involved in 5 goals after 5 league games. But O’Hara thinks even the biggest Tottenham fans are done with Son. He thinks Son needs to move on. O’Hara was talking on talkSPORT. He asked how people feel about Son. O’Hara said he is over Son now. He thinks the fans and everyone else is finished with Son. He means the serious long-time fans. O’Hara doesn’t think Son is playing well enough. He says Son’s quality in attack is not good anymore. Son is 33 years old. O’Hara wonders if Son can still get past defenders. He admits Son has been a great player for Tottenham. But O’Hara thinks Son has lost his edge. He says Son had a clear chance to score but didn’t. O’Hara thinks the old Son would have scored that chance for sure. O’Hara says Tottenham can’t take Son out of the team. This is because there is no one better to replace him.
But O’Hara thinks Tottenham needs to start looking for a new left winger. Some people might disagree with O’Hara. Scoring 17 goals and setting up 10 more in one season is very good. It doesn’t seem like a player who is finished. Son is very important to the Tottenham team. The other players look up to him. His performance against Brentford showed he is still valuable. Son is always available to play. If he was out of the team for a while people might realize how important he is.
Son and Harry Kane had a great partnership at Tottenham. It was one of the best partnerships ever in the Premier League. People will remember it for a long time. Tottenham fans should probably show Son more respect. He has done a lot for the team over many years. Even if he isn’t as quick as he used to be he still contributes a lot to the team. Son helps younger players and sets a good example. He works hard in every game. These things are valuable even if he doesn’t score in every match. Football fans can be very quick to criticize players. They often forget how good a player has been over many years.
Son has been consistently good for Tottenham for a long time. Even if he has slowed down a bit he is still better than most other players. Tottenham might need to think about replacing Son one day. But that day probably hasn’t come yet. Son still has a lot to offer the team. His experience and leadership are important. Young players can learn a lot from him. Tottenham should appreciate Son while he is still playing for them. Players like Son don’t come along very often. He has been loyal to Tottenham for many years. Son could have left for other big teams but he stayed at Tottenham. This kind of loyalty is rare in modern football. Fans should remember this when they think about Son.
Even if Son isn’t quite as good as he used to be he is still a very good player. He works hard for the team in every game. Son never gives up even when things are difficult. These are qualities that any team would want in a player. Tottenham are lucky to have had Son for so long. They should enjoy watching him play while they still can. One day Son will leave Tottenham or retire.
Then fans might wish they had appreciated him more while he was playing. Football moves very fast and people often forget how good players were in the past. Son has been one of Tottenham’s best ever players. He deserves to be remembered as a Tottenham legend when he does leave. For now Son is still an important part of the Tottenham team. He helps them win games and score goals. Tottenham should keep playing Son as long as he is helping the team. When the time comes to replace him it will be very hard to find another player as good as Son has been for Tottenham.
