Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

[Mate]

He shouldn't play. I don't care if it makes us weaker. He doesn't deserve to start after what he did.

Bet you'd soon forgive him if he scores the goal that takes us to the CL final

It will not happen. There's no chance that we will get something from the Ajax game, not with our form.

Oh I agree, but we live in hope

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

It wasn't exactly violent conduct more petulance, can it be appealed?

Agrew. We should just not play son even if it gives a a chance. Hell. We shouldnt even turn up. Since we are not gonna win alway. We should just stay at our homes

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Bad moment for Son. It happens to the best of us.

I am sure he feels bad for letting his teammates and fans down. Beating him up now does not make any sense. He knows he was wrong. Time to put it in the past and move forward as best we can.

Hopefully, he gets a brace in Amsterdam.

 

[GMI]

I have a good feeling about Son for Wednesday after this. He is an honourable man who knows he has let down his colleagues, manager and fans. He will do everything in his power to rectify this situation.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Definitely violent conduct and thus the Ref was correct.

Maybe in your world

I see nothing violent about pushing someone in the chest after reacting to them kicking you (again)

Both players should have got a yellow. One for over-reacting and the other for play acting

The ref got the Dier incident wrong as well as many other situations

Pretty poor, weak Ref

 

[THFC_SWE]

Yeah, sure, it happens to the best of us. And it can cost us CL and shitloads of money. But yeah, it's cool.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I’m as angry with Son as anyone, going as far as to question his character, but 100% he has to start v Ajax.

 

[SteveH]

Cut him some slack.
He's probably just as upset as we all are.

This.

Violent conduct just got a whole new meaning in the refereeing standards in the PL.

The rest of the incompetent refs better apply that same standard to the rest of the games. Oh and did I mention incompetent? That won't happen then.

Pricks.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

In countries like South Korea, honour is a big thing. He has obviously been down since the City game when he realised he would be banned from first Ajax game. Feels he has let his team down and will be even worse after today. So out of character for him.
What better than to put it all right on wed with 2 goals.

Any straight red can be appealed I believe. It won't be successful though.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

This wasn’t a shove to the chest, it was a shove on a player who was already unbalanced and stumbling to keep on his feet. Could’ve caused serious damaged if Lerma had landed on his shoulder or wursts, head. Son deserved his red.

 

[punky]

How many times do we see players push another and they aren't even booked, let along sent off?

The punishment was completely disproportionate to the offence. Of course that's standard MO for refs against us these days.

He can't put it right against Everton though which is what we need. He's put top four at risk today. Love him but he's let us down

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

There’s footage of Lerma punching Son in the back before Son reacts. We should appeal it just so Lerma gets banned as well.

 

[mil1lion]

It was harsh. Yellow card and a ticking off.

 

[Phomesy]

This is a bit of an over-reaction - he didn't shove or hit him in the face. Lerma pretended and Pawson fell for it.
