Fuck it:
Thread on why mahrez is miles behind Heung min son https://twitter.com/bernardoooov3/status/1252932891371175936
Lets look at what you need to be a good winger:
Pacy
Good crossing
Good finishing
Good dribbling
Good with long shots
Able to at least somewhat play striker
Bonus: having skills to confuse the defenders
Point number one:
Pacieness
Heung min sons max speed was clocked in his amazing goal against Burnley at 34.4 kph
Mahrez’ top speed was clocked in at 32.45 kph
Son wins this one by far
1-0
Now to my second point:
Good crossing
Heung min son in the premier league this season records a accurate crosses per game of 0.4
Mahrez beats him in this barely with 0.6 crosses per game
Mahrez wins this one:
1-1
Third point:
Good finishing
Heung min son has more goals this season than mahrez with less games and also has more shots on target
Heung min son has a higher shooting success with 14,1 % but a lower shooting accuracy with 56,86%
Son wins as he has more goals in less games
And also is the most clinical player not only in the premier league but also in the world since 14/15
2-1 for son
Good dribbling;
This one comes close.
Mahrez has 1.7 successful dribbles per game while Heung min son has 2.3. Mahrez is very good at technical dribbling in close spaces but often doesn’t make something big out of it which brings me to my next topic which I forgot to mention
At the beginning: making chances.
Before we move on to that I’m gonna give this a draw between the 2 making a 3:2 score for son right now
Heung min son has 10 big chances created in 21 games while mahrez has has 14 in 23
Then we look at key passes per game where mahrez has 2.1 and son has 1.5
Mahrez wins in this clearly which makes it 3:3
Next we look at good with long shots.
Heung min son this season has 0 goals from outside the box which makes mahrez the automatic winner with 4
This makes it 4:3 for mahrez but no it’s not done yet
Next is at least somewhat to play striker:
Mahrez has never played striker and any other positions other than right wing.
Son has often had to step up in center forward with Kane out, and showed that he can do it while scoring the 1-0 winner in the first leg against city
4-4
The inability for mahrez to play anywhere else other than right wing makes him less useful of a winger in some ways. Son can also play left wing which makes him even more useful
Next and last point is skilling. Mahrez has never showcased any skills other than stepovers once in a while
Son regularly uses skills to make his way through and confuse defenders.
5-4
If you still aren’t convinced then other points are that son has a way cheaper price tag than mahrez, is a more big game player than mahrez, and so on and so on.
I will never say mahrez is a bad player. But son is one of the best players in the world with ease.
Son is the most clinical player in the world and the premier league statistically, is very, very fast, scores in big games a lot and can singlehandedly turn the game around. Son is also more determined, which we can go back to when son fractured his arm and still went on to play
The full 90 minutes to score 2 goals and one in the last minute. There is no one else like son and he starts for every team in the world except Barca
