Weekend Recap Feb 23rd and Midweek Schedule Feb 27th

Not tons to watch and while I watched a fair amount live, wasn't really paying attention as well as I could have.

Tuesday

Ki Sung Yueng -- Swansea host Sheffield Wednesday at 3:05 PM ET on Fox Sports 2 in FA Cup replay. Ki looked good in the first half controlling possession and distributing the ball well. Things fell apart for Swansea in the final 30... reports were that Ki wasn't particularly to blame even if he didn't stop the bleeding. With Swansea looking a bit flat on the weekend, we'll see if Ki starts but he should be on the bench if not.


Wednesday

Son Heung Min -- Tottenham host Rochdale at 2:45 PM ET on Fox Sports 1 in FA Cup. Son came on in the final dozen minutes or so and tried to work the wide and deep areas with modest success, such as winning the corner that led to Kane's goal. Normally I'd prefer Son not playing against a low-level side but he could use some goals to boost his confidence and get him back on form and I do expect him to start.


Recap

Kwon Chang Hoon -- Was a very late scratch with a hamstring injury. We'll see how long he's out for.


Suk Hyun Jun -- Started but didn't score in a loss. Didn't get to watch this.


Lee Chung Yong -- A surprise appearance from LCY but didn't really get to do much. Not sure of what to make of his cameo to be honest. Hopefully a sign that he may get a bit more of a look, though I doubt it.


Lee Seung Woo -- Unused sub.


Koo Ja Cheol -- Wearing Augsburg's captain's armband for the first time, Koo was playing in his more advanced role despite Baier being out. That caused a lot of problems as their DMs were not good enough to control the middle and left Koo with less touches which were good but too limited to help Augsburg maintain their attack. That said, Augsburg somehow battled their way to a good point.
