Weekend Preview Oct 31 and Midweek Preview Oct 28

Daylight savings change for those of us in the US this weekend vs. Europe who changed last week so note the unusual start times and change the clocks before going to bed on Saturday.

Also last post before election day so a reminder to vote!

Lee Jae Sung-- Should start.


Ji Dong Won-- A lot of commentary was about improving service into the forwards so not expecting a change from his bench role but hoping his role increases going forward as his fitness improves.


Hwang Hee Chan-- After a disappointing loss midweek where HHC didn't even get on the pitch, I don't expect a start and even getting minutes may be hard unless the scoreline goes sideways.


Yun Il Lok-- Hopefully last week's cameo is a sign that he's getting closer to a larger role but not making any assumptions given garbage time nature.


Paik Seung Ho-- Missed the midweek match due to injury... unclear if that injury caused him to miss prior weekend as well, but I haven't heard any improvement in availability as of now.


Choi Kyoung Rok-- Has a good chance of starting but as midfield health improves, perha


Kwon Chang Hoon-- Streich talked about compactness so not expecting Kwon to come start but they need to change something.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- Maybe Jeong may become a defensive forward option given his high workrate, but he's also been most prone to mistakes. As such, not expecting a start but maybe a better chance than Kwon.


Hwang Ui Jo-- BeIN Xtra is a pain in the rear despite its "freeness" given lack of DVR and sketchy antenna coverage in my home. I'm expecting him to drop back to the bench.


Son Heung Min-- Uck. Came on as a sub at HT after Mourinho had fielded a B team that certainly played like one, and brought some immediate cohesion to the play. That said, there weren't enough subs to offset all the issues and Antwerp were able to control the edge of their box. Part was down to Tottenham's usual problems of limited imagination. Son himself had a few half chances, particularly when a cross came in and Son either made the wrong decision or didn't hit it right; in either case, the defender blocked a good opportunity. Disappointing loss but not a massive problem as of yet. Son should start this weekend.


Lee Kang In-- We will see if Valencia gives him the chance to start that he deserves and needs. Have to think his impact last weekend combined with otherwise mediocre showing tips the scales to yes.
