Park Joo Ho / Kim Jin Su -- Conveniently placed next to each other by my script as they're both unlikely to even make the bench and didn't make squad last weekend.
Lee Chung Yong -- Left off squad as LCY was thrown under the bus for Crystal Palace's poor set piece defending. Maybe with Wickham out for the rest of the season, Pardew is forced to take LCY out of the doghouse to help fill up his bench. Of course despite LCY playing no part, Crystal Palace lets in five to bottom placed Swansea with several off of set pieces. Desperate managers do desperate things but don't think LCY will get much this weekend besides a cameo.
Ki Sung Yueng -- With Fer scoring twice but their defense a shambles, it remains to be seen how Bradley would setup his starting XI with everyone healthy but one could imagine Ki taking Fulton's spot or being pushed to the bench. But since
Son Heung Min -- Started, but reportedly weak and losing all touch (first one pulled after 60 min) I have to wonder if he's hit a wall. Remembering Ki doing the same his first year at Swansea, perhaps the toll of Olympics, lack of depth / rotation with Lamela out injured, and international duty has resulted in Son needing a break. Unfortunately, he's in England and not Germany any more and so he's not getting any major rest soon... he'll have to play through this funk to find his form. Perhaps he gets benched this weekend but not many options for Pochettino either.
Ji Dong Won -- The one player I did watch and he was very good. Unfortunately, it was very frustrating as he was such an isolated player that while Ji did well to beat first or second defender, he'd eventually run out of space as the only offensive threat. He showed more initiative to go alone so that was another positive and he will most likely start this weekend too.
Koo Ja Cheol -- Was out with injury but it turned out to be less severe than first thought and Koo has already returned to light training. I think with so many injuries that Koo and the team will both be pushing for an early return so we'll see if he makes the squad at least as a sub and maybe even a chance at starting.
