Dunno if anyone else has noticed it, but in the past few games where Perisic has played there's been quite a bit of finger pointing and glaring between Son & Perisic. Granted Sonny has been bang outta form for longer than his usual "clown shoes" slump but its noticeable that Ivan plays very high up the field and when spurs look to counter they both seem to be occupying the same space when Kane drops deep and Sonny pullls way out on the left and looks to cut it inside.
Didn't notice it as much last season when either Davies Or Sess where out there (& Reggie before them) and he perhaps pulled ranked, just wonder if that's not as easy now with someone as experienced/ senior as Ivan.
I know it seems like a defensive move but perhaps moving Davies to LWB (Barely goes over the half way line) might help get more from sonny and allow him to use his to use his pace with more space to run into.... Might help defensively as Perisic has been shocking.
I know its square pegs and round holes etc... but just a thought.
Its probably just another example why 343 doesn't work with the players we have
Id go 433 , get our best defensive players to focus on defending, solidify the midfield and try to get the best out of our from 3 (or at least get them, on the ball more
Team for Fulham.........

conte has to ditch this 3 cb formation. It’s clearly not working and isn’t going to anymore the players have given up on it too. Don’t help they can’t defend either.
I see Arsenal gave signed Trossard too…not re sure why we wanted him but show clubs who want pjj ok Ayers go out and sign them. We just dic about as usual…it’s depressing really is.

No because he’s been rubbish with Sessegnon and on international duty too

Son is 30 now, his main attributes were pace and ball control, pace has definitely diminished, ball control too it would appear

Lol ball control has never been one of his main attributes. He was clown shoes before his peak.
Would say the best thing about him is his first time finishing with either foot

And usually his touch to set up a shot.

Son is great if he has acres of space to run into. If he his faced with a wall of defenders he us next to useless.
I am still trying to fathom out how he beat most of the Burnley team when he scored that solo goal a few seasons back. I don't think he has beaten a player since.

Has anyone realized that injury was the start of his loss of performance.
And he never played well in that mask either.

It`s a strange one with Sonny, you don`t just drop off a cliff at age 30 after years of top performances, players peak and then decline gradually.
I`m not sure what the issue is, but it is almost certainly Lenic`s fault whatever it is.
