Ji Dong Won-- Didn't make squad and may be looking for a new home after being displaced by younger players in the squad to add to his existing non-use. If he makes the squad, at least that's a sign of where he is transfer wise.
Jeong Woo Yeong-- An unused sub . Perhaps the fact that two subs were burned on one position may have been to blame, but still frustrating. Likely only coming on as a late sub if at all.
Kwon Chang Hoon-- Out injured.
Hwang Hee Chan-- Did not play this weekend despite Leipzig's frustrating showing. It seems Naglesmann has only envisioned him for a specific counter-attacking role at this time, and I wouldn't expect him to get off the bench midweek outside the possibility of a thrashing and playing during garbage time.
Lee Kang In-- Came on as a sub with 15 minutes left which I attribute to getting rest in a less important cup match. When he did come on, his odd role continued to frustrate me: playing as a second forward but most of his work happening in the buildup and far away from goal even when the ball is in final third. Was fine in his few touches but his defending really points to why he's not in CM where he belongs. I expect him to start.
Recap
Hwang Ui Jo-- HUJ scored again as he starts to find form. While his goal was a simple tap in, he did show a willingness to stay in the box which he has shied away from at times. He provided a decent outlet up top as well, though more with his runs rather than being an aerial force. Not a dominant showing but continuing to make progress and stating his case to be in the starting XI, especially given his ability to slide deeper or to the left as he did later in the match.
Paik Seung Ho-- Surprisingly an unused sub off the bench.
Lee Jae Sung-- LJS was rested on the bench after logging so many minutes midweek but did come on with thirty minutes to go. They scored two after he came on, and combined with a decent grade from media, I suspect LJS was a part of their comeback even if they did concede a third late in the match to drop them to fourth. If they continue to drop out of promotion spots, fees for LJS may start to look tempting.
Choi Kyoung Rok-- Was subbed off in final minutes so assuming that CKR continuing to be productive even when he's not providing goals or assists.
Yun Il Lok-- His positive momentum around the turn of the year has been completely wiped out as he remained an unused sub.
Son Heung Min-- Started off great with an assist from a good corner, and hitting the post. While he cooled off a bit, Son was a consistent source of danger even if his final touches were lacking. Fortunately for Tottenham, others didn't have that problem (Ndombele wow) and for a moment they can ignore the continuing structural issues in their attack.
