He definitely needs a rest alright, but maybe just maybe he's feeling a little in the shade overnight ? All season it's been Kane to Son, Son to Kane and Kane to Son again, and playing with a big Cheshire cat smile on his face ...that has now changed.
Since Bale's been starting and scoring goals...Son hasn't been. That's got to be a bit irritating and frustrating for him. It HAS to be. (Off the record). I just hope he realises how much we all love him here and recognise and respect the calibre of player he is. But he also needs to be a good pro. And by being a good pro, I mean enjoying the limelight when you can do no wrong, but also being equally as happy to share that limelight when someone else steps up.
Either way, I hope he gets a break and starts hitting the net regularly again..I love him....
