The striker scored his fourth goal of the season in a 2-2 draw against AS Roma in the Europa League.
Despite being on the scoresheet on Thursday evening, Postecoglou was asked if Son was struggling to find his best form.
The Australian told reporters: “I don't know if he lacks confidence. Sonny has had a disruptive year for us, so that doesn't help. Yes, he had some good chances to score the goal tonight and he's getting into those areas.
“Look, he has the quality to seize those opportunities and we know he has done this consistently for almost ten years, but he has had a disrupted season. You can see that he is now fully fit again, and that is the most important thing for us.
“We are quite thin in those wide areas so he is playing and we have to make sure we are careful with him, Brennan and Timo because they are the only wingers we have left and that we will have for the foreseeable future. thought tonight it wasn't just Sonny there were a few really good chances we also hit the post three times and a few went off the line I still felt like there were a few moments where a little bit more composure the could have ended the match.”
