Ki Sung-Yueng

I missed the game this weekend - how did Ki do? I saw from the highlights that he played a nice ball into feet for the first goal, but apart from that did he do alright?

 

Mate Cha' is South Korean by nationality only. He is far more German than anything else. Spent most of not all of his life there. Hence why he is urgent.

Its not racist to suggest the Asian game is far less contact and far more technical than the Scottish. Just the way it is I guess.

 

Change the game mate, came on opened up the play a lot more with his passing.

I think the reason for his lack luster performances were fatigue. Looked on the money against ICT.

 

Ki changed the game this weekend. That's what he offers us, his passing is far superior to any other player in our side.

 

That's what we were missing the whole first half, nobody could play a decent forward pass til he came on.

 

He did well when he came on, precision passing, agree with uncleho thought he looked fresh, he needed the break a lot, in his previous games i could tell he wasn't 100%.

We are going to need Ki to provide the same in the coming weeks against teams who will sit in and defend and he is the only one who plays in midfield regularly this season that provides a killer pass. We need commons to get back on form so we have added creativity in the midfield.

 

what the * has happend to Commons? He looked so good end of last season. What happened????

Scotch pies.

 

4 words actually

Lots of scotch pies.

 

It seems he was just suffering from fatigue recently, he completely changed the game against ICT.

 

6 words actually.

Lots and lots of scotch pies.

 

Thought Ki really struggled tonight, penalty miss aside. Maybe long haul flights and too many games catching up with him.

 

ki's effort is really starting to worry me.

 

Apart from the penalty miss Ki provided almost half a dozen through balls and created chances which other players missed, a penalty miss will always make people focus on that but other than the miss i though Ki was good in his attacking play.

 

im * had enough of his performances . slows the midfield down , kills momentum . he is gathering the ball too deep these days aswell. still dont like the balance with him and kayal in the middle .. would prefer to see wanyama in there if we get defensive cover , although ledley or even broony could step in .

kis effort tonight was worrying

 

Still desperate for a rest.

Would be better used coming off the bench late until he's back to full fitness.

 

He is probably not fit for full 90 yet. Last game, he went in as a substitute, and helped us crack ICT. I didn't see the penalty miss tonight, but it's probably due to fatigue and lack of concentration.

 

To be honest I thought that he played quite well. Cut that ball back in the box that nobody got onto the end of and played a lot of through balls that Stokes and Hooper didn't take advantage of. Think he has become a scapegoat cause of his penalty miss and the fact that Sammy wasn't on, when in reality I thought McCourt and even Stokes were worse than he was. Didn't think things were happening for Stokes at all tonight.

Remember as well that this is his first proper game back from an illness that's had him out for a few weeks.

Forgot to mention that Stokes should get a boot in the baws for trying to take the ball off him. That really pressures any penalty taker when he knows there will be somebody behind him saying "Aye I told you I should take it". We all knew that Ki would be taking the penalty before the match, so why didn't Stokes?

 

Its obvious that he is tired, he was just discharged from the hospital a week and a half ago and has already flown across the world twice and played 2 full games, despite that he was hardly the worst out their tonight and he created quite alot of chances
