Son Heung-min steps out of the shadows for Tottenham and Marko Arnautovic is reborn at West Ham

HEUNG-MIN SON now has 11 goals this term — and has been very clever in taking advantage of attention being elsewhere.

The opposition go into games concerned with Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen.

So he stays out wide on the left, while defenders get dragged in to deal with the others.

This gives him plenty of time and space and he is able to drive inwards or stay wide because of his ability with both feet.

If he carries on like this, though he’ll be getting all the attention.

ARNIE’S BACK

MARKO ARNAUTOVIC has six goals in seven league games for West Ham and credit must go to David Moyes for his conversion to striker.

At Stoke, he was great at driving in and often ended up central anyway, so it makes sense to start him there.

He was just sensational at Huddersfield, playing a big role in all four goals.

He’s got all you want in a No 9 — pace, physicality, skill, work-rate. Manuel Lanzini is the perfect foil and Moyes should be congratulated for seeing that.

POTTERS TO BEAT WOBBLE

STILL managerless, anything Stoke get at United tonight will be a bonus. But they desperately need a new boss before the weekend for two reasons.

First, their four games after United are winnable — Huddersfield, Watford at home, Bournemouth away, Brighton at home.

Secondly, we’re halfway through January and the Potters need a manager before they strengthen.

Someone needs to come in, decide what system to play, and then strengthen accordingly.

REPO MAN JURGEN

THIS argument teams are setting up to lose against Manchester City by surrendering possession is rubbish.

Liverpool’s win proved it — they had just 36 per cent of the ball but used it so effectively.

You have to let City come on to you to create space going forward on the counter-attack.

What impressed me so much was Liverpool’s pressing high up. They had the pace to do it and the pace to recover.

Jurgen Klopp deserves praise for changing it after they lost 4-1 at Spurs. Since then they’ve had two holding midfielders, leaving them less susceptible to the counter.

Yesterday was a prime example as both Emre Can and Gini Wijnaldum were fantastic.

SET UP FOR PARDS

WEST Brom’s 2-0 win was huge for them and new boss Alan Pardew.

The goals came from set-pieces and it was great to see them used effectively. Brighton were caught napping while the Baggies were switched on, resulting in a huge win.
