      That is the reason why he was so difficult not to give armband. He is a baps magnet and someone should convert chances he creates. His xGi was also very high.

        Yeah, unfortunately for him his teammates do let him down at times. Pretty much the entire City team (apart from him and Rodri) has a negative shooting goals added this season, so their xG on target is lower than their xG. Son is the 2nd highest player in the league in terms of shooting goals added this season in contrast, behind JWP.
