at last a player who's being open and honest and I thank Sonny for that. At least he's addmitting he has to share the blame and I love him for that alone............Hope he returns to form this season soon, we need him.
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has said he is "really sorry" to see Antonio Conte leave the club, adding that his own form makes him "feel responsible" for the Italian's departure.
Son scored 24 goals and registered 10 assists in 45 games under Conte last season. By comparison, he has 10 goals and four assists in 39 matches so far in 2022-23.
Speaking after South Korea's friendly defeat by Uruguay on Tuesday, Son said: "As a player, I am really sorry. He's a world-class coach and we had a great journey together.
"I am grateful for what he's done. He's such a great coach and has so much experience. I will be rooting for him.
"I should have played better. I feel responsible for his departure because I haven't helped the club all that much."

He knows he's not played well this season and is man enough to say it which has to be applauded becasue you know the other kants in the team would not say it.

He’s been appalling. Negative tactics or not, he hit a corner in a champions league game that never came into play.
Fair play for saying it, but you can’t pin that on conte.
Let’s see what he does now. Hope he recovers. I fear he has gone all deli alli

I think it's quite likely that Son's form is a direct consequence of Conte's negative tactics, though.

He won the Golden Boot last season and was on fire under him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair point.
Do you think your team tactics have changed this season?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah Kane has been dropping deep less so Sons been having to do that more. Ridiculous decision given the former is brilliant at that and the latter is awful at it.

Shouldn’t really account for the discrepancy in Son’s output. Son thrives in a negative set up as it creates space for him to run in behind. He’s just been incredibly poor. It happens to players all the time.

Nah completely different mind sets/ work ethics
Dele lost his hunger for footy it seems , was happy to just get to where he was ….he will retire before Bentley did I reckon
Can’t even get in a team in Turkey last I read
Son has that hunger still even if it just hasn’t happened for him this season ….I hold onto the hope it’s not a permanent decline but who knows , at least he has that desire to get his form back

A couple of things to consider. He signed a fat contract over a year ago (see Dele and Mo Salah for example) and he started his own fashion label last summer.
He is 30 and it would be harder for him to regain his form. For me next season he would be a very option for the bench.

I just like his honesty when he says.....
"I should have played better. I feel responsible for his departure because I haven't helped the club all that much."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok but has he worked on playing with his back to goal in all these years has he worked on his tackling and anticipating passes. Has he worked on whin aerial duels. It's all very well saying this but if you aren't improving yourself as a player..especially the weak points then it's all cosmetic PR
