Except for SON right now, use an 18-year-old prospect. Did Son Heung-min turn his back on Tottenham fans..Give me the captain's armband. I'm angry

Jan 20, 2025

Some Tottenham fans seem to have turned their backs on Son Heung-min.

Tottenham lost 2-3 in an away match against Everton in the 22nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 19th (Korea time). With this defeat, Tottenham are really in a position to worry about a drop in the relegation zone.

Son Heung-min's performance in Tottenham's shocking defeat was somewhat disappointing. In the 18th minute of the first half, when the team was being dragged 0-1, Ben Davis stabbed Son Heung-min with an accurate long pass. Son Heung-min took the opportunity to score as he ran ahead of the defender. However, Son Heung-min was blocked by James Tacowski's tackle and couldn't even try to shoot.

Still, after Son Heung-min's opportunity to score came out, Tottenham began to gradually gain momentum. Son Heung-min had a decisive chance at the time when he needed to score. In the 24th minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski received Pedro Porro's pass and properly took it out to Son Heung-min. Since there was no defender blocking Son Heung-min, everyone expected to score, but Son Heung-min's shot was weakly held in Jordan Pickford's hands.

Son Heung-min's chance to score in the 27th minute of the first half was also disappointing. Tottenham's attack quickly developed on Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min tried to create a shooting angle with Jerod Bransweight in front of him, but was blocked by Pickford. It was all the more regrettable because it was a scoring opportunity that Son Heung-min would have scored in the best time.

When Son Heung-min failed to score, Tottenham faced a crisis and eventually collapsed in defense, allowing three runs in the first half alone.

Post-match English TBR Football said: "Tottenham supporters will leave Goodison Park with a small glimmer of hope watching Moore, who endured another miserable game with the team but came on as a substitute. The future of Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is close to the end here, but the teenager Moore gave a high evaluation of Moore by contributing to scoring for the first time in the EPL.

It is true that Moore performed well, but it was surprising that it led to an undervaluation of Son Heung-min. Tottenham fans' opinion that they should actively put Moore out of Son Heung-min has drawn attention.

TBR football was like a changing of guard at Tottenham. In just 17 minutes, Son Heung-min was seen from Moore. Tottenham fans are calling for Moore to start in place of Son Heung-min after impressing at the shocking team's performance," he said.

"Unfortunately, Son missed several opportunities and failed to play again against the struggling Everton team. When Moore entered the pitch, Moore ran towards Everton's defence and supplied a sharp cross. It gave the team a new lease on life and Tottenham fans reacted to the look."

One fan commented "Moore should start. He has a different attacking option than Son and offers more"He insisted that Son Heung-min get off the bench." Another fan also "Moore always brings a loose ball from the back. Son Heung-min is not always in the position where he should be," he said, criticizing Son's performance.

There was even a shocking opinion that Son Heung-min's captain's armband should be handed over to Moore, who was born in 2007. The fan is "What a sense of contention. We need to give him the captain's armband right away. To be completely honest, I prefer Moore to Son Heung-min or James Madison."

Some agreed with this. "Son Heung-min should step down. Postecoglou is afraid to drop Son in place of Moore because Son is the team's captainThere was even a lot of speculative opinion that " did not make sense.

The claim seems to have been made because Mikey Moore, Tottenham's top prospect who came in as a substitute in the second half, was all involved in the scoring scene. In the 32nd minute of the second half, James Maddison handed over to Moore in the penalty box in Tottenham's counterattack, and Moore's shot was blocked, but Kulusevski made a comeback with an exquisite left-footed kick.

Moore scored his first EPL attack point in his career when he scored a perfect cross toward Hishalisson in extra time in the second half. It is true that Moore showed better performance than expected, but it should not be forgotten that Son Heung-min also contributed to Tottenham's entire scoring process.

Even if Son Heung-min was sluggish, Son Heung-min's role at Tottenham is too big for Moore to replace Son Heung-min's role. Due to Tottenham and Son Heung-min's poor performance, some Tottenham fans seem to be making excessive claims. In the end, Son Heung-min has no choice but to prove that he is still a superstar.
