Weekend Preview Dec 1 and Midweek Recap Nov 27

Of course my son has a tournament game during the NLD, sigh. Some decent chances to watch the guys play otherwise though.

Ji Dong Won-- Fitness is returning so we'll see what role Ji has but likely from the bench at best.


Koo Ja Cheol-- After Koo's limited availability showing the cracks in the team last week, Koo is a higher chance to start this week.


Ki Sung Yueng-- Ki should start again as I doubt Rafa will want to upset what has been working so well.


Son Heung Min-- Not a great showing midweek when he came on as a sub with 30 minutes to go, but his pace did add a fair amount of danger and some good runs too. While nothing quite synced up perfectly on an individual basis, his run did open up the path for Sissoko's run in the leadup to the goal. It's important for him to contribute when he's not firing on all cylinders and he did that Wednesday. With the rest and looking sharper than most of the other attackers, Son should start in the NLD which will be a big test of Son's forward momentum.


Suk Hyun Jun-- We'll see if last week was for international factors or preference but I don't expect anything more than a bench role.
