An easy goal by Son but not the greatest weekend. I didn't get to watch much as I was on travel, but since there are matches midweek, I'd figure I'd put these up rather than wait to watch replays and I don't think my opinion will change much.

Park Joo Ho -- No change.
Ji Dong Won -- Played 90 but a brutal loss albeit to Bayern puts em down into the relegation playoff spot. Very worrisome. I have to think that Baum will mix things up in a must win midweek.If Ji is a part of that, not certain, possibly out wide but also possibly on the bench especially with Finnbogason as an option.
Koo Ja Cheol -- Missed the weekend with yellow card suspension but if he was going to miss one, Bayern was a good time to get a bit extra rest. Koo should be right back in the starting XI. With Baier nearing a return, we'll see if that has secondary effects on where Koo lines up.
Lee Chung Yong -- Still no role for Chungy and don't expect anything new even on a short week with a run of injuries.
Ki Sung Yueng -- Not a good sign when in a must win match tied at 0-0, nobody from the bench is used. Yes, Swansea were on the front foot, but some signs of fatigue began to show. Most of the problems were up front rather than the CM trio so maybe not all is lost for Ki but disappointing. Given short week perhaps Ki gets a shot but not sure how given Fer playing well, Clement keen on fielding Carroll vs his former club, and Cork's different role. I'm leaning still towards bench.
Son Heung Min -- Pochettino played it safe against lower table opposition and rested Son along with Dembele. He came on and had an easy tap in goal when Alli crossed to him on a good break. Son looked a bit sluggish... not sure if he was saving his energy for midweek or still fatigued from international duty or just not sharp.
Kwon Chang Hoon -- Finally made a start and was reportedly very good (I did see touch video fwiw) and an important draw which puts them one point above relegation zone against a tough opponent. Manager has to consider a greater role for KCH going forward, even if he may have continued problems with language for the near future.
