Boxing Day Schedule Plus Recap

Winter Break starts for non-British leagues.  Since kick-offs are all the same time, makes it easy to make the schedule...

LCY reportedly had an off match but he's been starting when fit.

KBK came in at 55' minutes in a loss and will most likely be bench again.  Apologies, didn't see this one yet.

YSY may be back healthy this week.  With two close matches, perhaps he may be saved for one or the other.

Ki played well enough this past weekend and should start again in the more advanced CM role but he wasn't particularly sharp around the box and still looks to be overthinking his decisions there rather than following his instincts.  Ji, I assume, is still back in Korea waiting for the window to open.

Kiu hasn't featured for the Bs even so may be out of form or hurt (lack of info on the Bs)

HJH remains an unused sub and will have to fight for a place in January.

Son Heung Min started but was subbed out after yet another flat performance.  Hopefully he can find some consistency when the number of matches calms down until CL restarts in February.

PJH has been well reviewed in Mainz and will go into a break with the confidence of his manager.

PJS played the full 90 and appears to be rounding into full health.

Koo only came on as a time-wasting sub and with rumors of interest from Augsburg and Mainz (the usual suspects), he may be itching to leave in January.
