Ki Sung-yong @ Swansea City AFC 2017-18 [R]

he's just got something about him that separates him from our other players, he can actually see a pass and is technically a step above.

 

8⃣ changes for the #Swans in the @Carabao_Cup tonight.

Swansea were so ponderous and inefficient in the first 45 mins. It was like watching the KNT, albeit with more defensive grit.

 

How did he play?

 

he looked ok to good in offensive half. ok to bad in defensive half.

 

He did ok. You could actually hear Clement scream "Push Forward... Pass it to Ki" a few times. Until Fer came in, it didn't really matter as Roque Mesa played very poorly imo.

 

Shit I'd love it if KNT could be toothless with some defensive grit.

 

Then it’ll be like the WC90 and WC94 sides... WC98 squad doesn’t count since they couldn’t defend worth a damn against Mexico and Holland...

On second thought, maybe you’re right. I’d take WC94 results over what’s coming our way in WC18...

 

Hey how old are you LOL
That's a LONG time ago

 

Talks about Ki's expiring contract here. Looks like some interest on both sides but also some tentativeness on both sides re: form/fitness on one and minutes played on other.

Also interesting is references to original plans for Ki to have bigger role if he hadn't gotten hurt

I've somehow got this feeling that Roque Mesa wasn't on Clement's mind but more of a board signing.

 

Fits profile for Jenkins buy. Lots of money, played in Spain, and generally not working out.

 

Holy shit that’s pretty funny hahah

 

most people here are much older than us lol

 

I feel like this is the sharpest Ki has looked in a long time. He must finally be fully fit again! Watching this I realized that Ki utilized the Kroos feint to pretty good effect several times. He's not the fastest guy around but if he can have an effective move to make some space for himself we know he can pick a pass and can actually dribble into space pretty well. Did he always have this move in his toolbox?

 

sharper in a while indeed...good eye on that Kroos thing

Swans up 1-0. Ki playing very well. Great to see him getting back into form. So much class in his locker, just needs to stay hungry.
