Lost the ball 13x: Ange must drop 5/10 Spurs man who was as bad as Son

Tottenham Hotspur kickstarted their Premier League campaign with a 1-1 draw away to Leicester City last night, and while it wasn’t a disastrous result, it was undeniably disappointing.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are aiming to make it back into the Champions League places this year, although to do that, they will have to be far more clinical going forward.

While there were a couple of good performances for the North Londoners, there were also plenty of poor ones, including from club captain Son Heung-min.

Son’s game vs Leicester
Yes, despite being an immensely talented winger and undoubtedly a modern great of the Premier League, Son looked like a totally different player last night.

The South Korean international was wasteful in possession, struggled to create chances of real quality and just looked totally off the pace.

The South Korean international was wasteful in possession, struggled to create chances of real quality and just looked totally off the pace.

While harsh, this assessment of the 32-year-old’s display is backed up by his statistics from the game, as in his 89 minutes on the pitch, he failed to score or assist a goal, racked up an expected goals figure of just 0.03, took one shot that was blocked, maintained a passing accuracy of just 85%, completed a single cross, lost the ball 13 times, was dribbled past three times and lost six duels.

Overall, it was a really poor game from the captain, although his teammate on the opposite wing was just as disappointing.
