Weekend Recap Nov 19th and Midweek CL Preview Nov 22nd

Not too much action this weekend, with most players on bench duty, injured or just not in squad.


Tuesday

Son Heung Min -- Tottenham go to Monaco at 2:45 PM ET on Fox Sports 1 -- Son was poor when he came on but he at least injected some vitality into a stuttering Tottenham attack and in the final minutes he turned the game around, first with a cross that somehow made it to Kane for an easy tap in, and then with a great move in the box that forced the defender to foul him to earn the PK that Kane would score to win the match.  Not a great showing but showed some fight that Tottenham was lacking and certainly can't argue with results.  With Lamela out, Son should start this must win match.


Recap

Ji Dong Won -- Did most everything well but so little service gave little chance for scoring and didn't do well with the chances he got.  With Augsburg struggling for health and offensive continuity as a result, he will have to get more aggressive with regards to creating chances for himself.  But he continues to put in hard work and decent class in very difficult situation.


Koo Ja Cheol -- Missed with injury.  We'll see how long he's out.


Lee Chung Yong -- Came on as a sub late in the match, but didn't get to do much but showed good hustle when asked.  Had a good defensive slowdown of Yaya Toure and also had a decent cross but otherwise too little too late.


Ki Sung Yueng -- Came on at the end and frustrating that Swansea let in a goal that cost them two critical points though this time not Ki's fault.  With Ki's international duty, I think Bradley went for energy this week in yet another big shuffle of the starting XI.  We'll see what happens this weekend as to Ki's role as Swansea looked half-decent without him.


Park Joo Ho -- Not in squad.


Kim Jin Su -- Not in squad.
