Midweek Recap Feb 26 and Weekend Preview Mar 1

Too bad BeIn is inaccessible for me as lots on main networks and all on stream. Also didn't get to watch midweek with new work issues :(

Ji Dong Won-- With Augsburg so poor, we will have to see how Baum shakes things up but I imagine Ji should start given lack of other offensive options.


Koo Ja Cheol-- I'm more doubtful of Koo starting though perhaps he gets pushed up into attack.


Paik Seung Ho-- Left out of squad. Better to have a sparse minutes and train with first team or play regularly with a team in the third tier?


Son Heung Min-- Reports weren't good and maybe he needs a break to freshen up but its the NLD day again. I guess he'll have to start again but the pieces are not working so hopefully Poch has a plan to get the best out of his players again.


Ki Sung Yueng-- Good news is that he made the squad despite introduction of Diame to the bench and Newcastle have put a decent pad ahead of relegation zone. Bad news is that he was an unused sub as it seems Rafa has a clear delineation between DM and CM roles and so didn't get a chance to come on when Longstaff was subbed off. We will see if Shelvey is fit and if that changes the bench mix which is where I expect Ki to be.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- With illness and lots of first team absences, JWY traveled with the squad. Given that they're playing a top 3 team, I doubt he'll play but should be a fun experience for him.


Suk Hyun Jun-- Reims is doing well so Suk will have to wait on the bench for next chance. UPDATE: Not in squad.


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Played over an hour in a loss. Sounded like he had a few chances but nothing came of them.


Lee Kang In-- Didn't make the squad. Disappointing but I guess expected at this point?
