Weekend Recap Sept 15th and Midweek Preview Sept 18th

Sigh. It starts painful from the get go with the need to buy B/R Live subscription to watch Tuesday. No iPad app and a fairly high price hurts. For those preferring legal streams like me, I suggest using the monthly subscription which is $10/month where 3 months now will cover group stages, and 2-3 months will cover knockouts which is cheaper than the $80 all-in. Of course you have to remember to cancel and if you're Tottenham only, you can buy a la carte for cheaper.


Tuesday

Son Heung Min -- 12:55 PM on B/R Live at Inter Milan. Son only came on as a late sub with needing some rest but also the match which was going poorly to presumably start CL tomorrow. Son didn't have too much action when he did come on, but in the final seconds of the game, looked to have earned a PK with a good run into the box. Sadly it wasn't called. He should start midweek and we'll see who he plays with.


Recap

Ji Dong Won -- Came on as a sub and after some good touches, found himself with acres of space. He looked a bit surprised by how Mainz refused to close in, and eventually got into shooting position and blasted a shot for a goal to give Augsburg a lead. Sadly, it literally all went downhill from there, with Ji twisting his ankle celebrating and needing to be subbed off and Augsburg giving up two goals in remaining minutes. Hopefully his injury is minor and he can ride this goal upwards.


Koo Ja Cheol -- I only saw the last 35 minutes or so and Koo was positioned between a second striker role and a 10. He had some pretty good touches and played the whole 90.


Ki Sung Yueng -- Left off the squad. I'm not sure if he's not 100% after international travel, or picked up a minor knock but Rafa had a lot of people on the bench who weren't available either so probably both.


Suk Hyun Jun -- Was disappointingly still a sub and only came on for final 20 minutes or so.
