O'Hara speaks on Son

Ex-Tottenham man Jamie O’Hara has admitted that Arsenal have “looked a bit special” so far this season after winning three straight games.

Take a seat and brace yourself because O’Hara has given Arsenal a bit of praise.

It is only right as well as the Gunners have indeed looked “a bit special” at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.


Aubameyang to Chelsea is a short-term gamble, but it might just work


New signings Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinehcnko plus the returning William Saliba have been key as Arsenal have made a perfect start with three wins in three.

Last time out they strolled to victory against AFC Bournemouth with a 3-0 win on the south coast. Nine goals scored and just two conceded is good going as well in just three outings.

A few of us F365 lot were on board the north London hype train prior to the new season, and up to now, they are looking very strong.

Admittedly, tougher tests are to come when they face their Big Six rivals, but O’Hara has suggested that Arsenal are “almost a joy to watch”:

“They are looking a bit special this Arsenal side,” O’Hara told talkSPORT.

“They look like Man City in a way it’s like they’ve almost got that where they’re playing like Pep Guardiola’s Man City, it’s almost a joy to watch and I’m a Spurs fan.

“They’re looking like a team that could actually be in amongst it.”

O’Hara’s beloved Tottenham are also unbeaten having beaten Southampton and Wolves either side of their 2-2 draw against Chelsea.

Son Heung-Min was in sensational form last term, as he grabbed 23 goals and seven assists in the league.

For his standards, he has made a slow start to this campaign. He is without a goal in three games and O’Hara thinks he has been impacted by Richarlison’s summer arrival:

“Richarlison coming in has changed something in Conte’s mind because he’s dragging Son if he’s not feeling like Son’s giving enough to the team.

“I don’t think Son’s used to that, he’s always been the 90 minute man, he plays with [Harry] Kane until the end, those two players just don’t come off.

“Now because he’s got the option he’s now thinking after 75 minutes if Son’s not doing the business I’m going to drag him.

“I’ve seen him today, Son didn’t look that happy to be coming off, he wasn’t happy with it.”
