Weekend Preview Nov 7 and Midweek Recap Nov 4

Some Korean derby action this weekend among a few other interesting storylines and even a BL2 match to stream! Unfortunately, offset a bit by the pain that is BeIN Xtra. My wife yelled at me for having the antenna sitting randomly in the living room last time.

Kwon Chang Hoon-- Likely on the bench with defense needed against Leipzig.


Jeong Woo Yeong-- Perhaps Streich will use him as a defensive forward like he has done before. But more likely still on the bench.


Hwang Hee Chan-- Again, disappointed in his minutes as HHC didn't come on at all even if the result was good. Likely a greater chance to play this weekend with less defensive responsibilities but likely from the bench still.


Ji Dong Won-- A desperation battle on a defensively fragile team is not usually a great chance for alternate forwards so I assume he will be on the bench but that desperation could result in some more minutes.


Hwang Ui Jo-- Getting pulled so early last weekend not a great sign. I expect him on the bench.


Yun Il Lok-- Press reports and coach comments are both positive so it sounds like he may have finally moved up to a more regular offensive sub role but likely not enough to start yet.


Son Heung Min-- Was rested and with a moderate cushion, Mourinho looked like he had a pre-set schedule on subbing people. It got a bit dicey right before he came on, but fortunately, Son rectified things with his first touch, selflessly sending in a cross for Lo Celso to tap in. While Son looked to be a massive mismatch vs. back line, there wasn't enough momentum or cohesion to Tottenham's play to really take advantage and Son was a bit of a mixed bag himself outside the assist. Should start this weekend.


Paik Seung Ho-- I haven't heard good news as of yet so I assume out with that injury.


Choi Kyoung Rok-- Seems like he's building some regularity into his starting role but they're only a shape change away from being back on the bench.


Lee Kang In-- Hopefully his positive contributions continue from the start. Given opposition, maybe they'll go safe but conversely they have nothing to lose so I'm expecting him to start.


Lee Jae Sung-- Finally a chance to see him again, and vs. the one club heavily rumored to be in the chase for his services this summer. Will be a tough battle vs. a Hamburg club that looks more ready for promotion but LJS should start.
