Recap and projections:
Kiu came in as a sub at 84' and created a FK and another good goal scoring chance but Almeria had some defensive lapses and went from 2-1 to 2-3 in a few minutes. He's still training with the first team and hopefully his minutes grows over the season.
LCY was apparently pretty poor Saturday. He's been a regular starter so hopefully its just rust after a really long summer break with little preseason.
Yun sat on the bench so I imagine more bench time this weekend though you never know.
Son had a pretty poor outing but so did all of Bayer, though SHM had a hand in the goal creating space and the pass leading up to the cross that resulted in the OG. Son will most likely start again.
PJH was ok in a win. Should start.
Koo started off really roughly but pulled it together in a 4-1 win for Wolfsburg. He should start.
Ji came off the bench and missed a reasonable header chance just over the crossbar. Most likely will be sub material again for the weekend.
Park Ji Sung looked good midweek, finding confidence perhaps from loyal PSV fans. Still his legs betray his age so I imagine he will be benched with the return leg vs AC Milan looming next week
KBK had a so-so weekend... probably one of the better players though Cardiff were pretty poor in a loss. Turning around and facing the firepower of City won't be a confidence booster but KBK should start.
Ki came in as a sub vs United and his pressing helped start the sequence leading to the one goal. He seems to be out of Laudrups starting 11, but they do have Europa tomorrow and they have a variety of injuries so he may start in whichever match that he doesn't between Thurs/Sun, or at least be one of the first off the bench.
