Kwon Chang Hoon -- Another week, another goal for KCH and although he was a bit lucky this time with GK losing control of his hard shot. Didn't see match but to follow up some national media attention with a goal can't hurt nor can the three points as they move to 12th. I expect KCH to start.


Lee Chung Yong -- Still out injured.


Son Heung Min -- On a frustrating day when Tottenham showed their reliance on Eriksen and what happens when he plays poorly, Son was an exception creating tons of danger from the left. Frequently beating two men on the dribble and sending in some good crosses, Son was a bit unfortunate not to be rewarded with an assist. In the second half, he started to be a bit less effective in a freer role, but still was a relative bright spot and should probably start again if fresh enough.


Lee Seung Woo -- An unused sub and normally a cup match would be a chance for younger guys like LSW but he has the misfortune of a derby and so I've lowered hopes down to garbage time minutes.


Ki Sung Yueng -- Started on the right side of a theoretical diamond but was more in a flat row of three DMs as Swansea stayed defensive most of the match. Ki was scrappy and putting in a good effort though of course his offensive contributions were limited from his deep role. One moment I did miss was Ki accidentally shoving referee and we'll see if there's any punishment for that. It's a short turnaround and perhaps Clement will go for fresh legs vs. Chelsea but I'm leaning to Ki starting.


Suk Hyun Jun -- Like KCH, Suk followed up last weekend with another goal. Like KCH, I didn't watch but I'd expect a forward who's scoring to keep starting though of course against a team like PSG, Suk might be a bit more isolated than normal.


Ji Dong Won -- An unused sub. Good news is that he made the squad but bad news it that things are very clogged up and minutes are hard to get.


Koo Ja Cheol -- Came on for an injured Khedira and provided some offensive danger. The stream I was watching had some issues but he looked to be quite involved on the counter but there were lots of shots of a frustrated Koo so obviously not quite effective. A hard fought win and Koo has to start wondering about his future if he's not starting regularly despite playing well.
