Paik Seung Ho-- Started in an attacking midfielder role... primarily in the middle and also playing on both wings. His dribbling and skills looked pretty sharp, but didn't look as fit and it wasn't helped by the haphazard play of Darmstadt. He didn't get involved all that much but did have a nice run and pass that should have been an assist along with a few other good moments and few "bad" ones. Came off after an hour. I prefer him deeper but we'll see how he's used and I expect a start for now.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- Disappointingly an unused sub, and hopefully a tactical thing vs. a dangerous Leipzig side and the scoreline. I really didn't expect this after starting to earn a more regular role in the fall. Likely on the bench this weekend.
Lee Jae Sung-- Again a false 9 for much of the match, LJS had a strong contribution, scoring when he got behind defense on a headed-on corner and also had an assist later in the match. It feels a bit of a waste to have him so far forward when the team could use help in a lot of positions with more impact but hard to argue against a goal and an assist. He should start.
Seo Young Jae-- Looks like my suspicions were right as he only came on as a sub with 20 to go. nd when I saw that they had let in two goals after SYJ came on as a sub, I was worried but my concerns were unfounded as he wasn't at fault even if his defense work was only so-so. More problematic was a few turnovers under pressure which negated some of his more positive contributions vs. the starters. Likely on the bench again.
Ji Dong Won-- A surprise start given its been so long his last competitive match (about a year ago!). He definitely showed it, with some rough touches and a lack of proper physicality. Much of the action wasn't going his way on the right wing and a quick goal from his sub not a great sign for the weekend but its a positive step towards getting back into form. I expect him on the bench.
