Son Heung-min needs to learn how to not lose the ball. Nam Tae-hee needs to learn how to pass. Goddamn.
SHJ and SHM don't have the chemistry that we've seen recently between HEJ and SHM, but for the long-term, we should invest minutes for SHJ and SHM to try and develop chemistry
Cho Hyun Woo with his first bad game I've seen for the KNT. He was also responsible for the second goal we conceded (bad passing), even though 90% it's NTH's fault.
It wasn't just about the chemistry. Today SHM made it very difficult for the forwards. He killed so many attacking options. We should've sticked to the plan (Ki long pass to FB / wingers and cross / pass in). That way SHJ would've been used effectively.
Son needs to learn to pass when teammates are wide open, rather than being selfish in those situations. Nam Tae-hee needs to do the same, and he needs to quit making stupid passes leading to an interception. Also, Moon Sun-min needs to quit the long ass dribbling and take the shot when it's warranted, too many times I've seen him do this when there's a great scoring opportunity.
I'll still take the draw regardless of our performance. Now, Bento has a better idea/picture of the team considering the amount of mistakes/flaws/holes we've made. Also, this is how you test in matches, not rotate the entire squad and pull out some useless tricks.
No he didn't...NTH is probably the most streaky, inconsistent player in the Korean pool. You'll get some bad games and some good games that makes him look super dangerous. We saw the bad game from him.
He's a decent player against weaker teams. But no WC material. He's never been. Too inconsistent and too selfish. Despite all his talent.
WC material is really up for debate, but I agree otherwise. Probably has as much talent as most of the top guys in our pool. He just makes bad decisions at times. I don't mind selfishness if they're on a roll. I know SHM can be selfish at times, but we need guys like that. Most of our players have a very passive "I don't want the responsibility" mentality at times.
I still prefer LJS, KCH, HIB and LSW over him. Already 4 players on that position. There's also KJC, but the last time I liked his performance in the NT was quite a while ago. However, he's not been tried out under Bento, so I have my hopes. NTH can be a squad player, but I don't like the fact that Bento seems to see him as one of his key players.
NTH is either fking terrible or really good. WTF is wrong with him? I understand SHM needs some rest, but he's been fking terrible as well. Keeps trying to make things happen on his own in the final third and loses possession for no king reason which leads to dangerous counterattacks.
Yeah I like those 4 players you named over NTH, maybe exception of HIB because he's still got far more to prove. I don't think it's Bento necessarily seeing NTH as one of his key players. I'm sure Bento knows NTH is very good technical player and seeing if he belongs. I don't really see Koo Ja Cheol as an NT material player anymore.
In terms of decision making and play making, he was by miles better than NTH today. He's a key player for post-Ki era, until KJM is ready.
He's inconsistent even when in good form, but again that's how he's always been for the national team since the day he stepped foot under Cho Kwang-rae's wings.
What is SHM is trying to do resembles what Alexis Sanchez and Bale does for their nation (playmaking and scoring). The problem is SHM is not technically good enough to emulate them. SHM has to realize that he needs to stop trying to be something he is not. He needs to stop trying to be involved in playmaking so much and focus on getting into dangerous positions to shoot.
He just got on the NT scene. You really need to pump the brakes on a lot of these unproven prospects. Getting way ahead of yourself.
Yeah of course we should wait and see. But I disagree about him being unproven. He's been playing regularly on pro level at the age of 19, which is imo an advantage to others at his age, such as LSW. That combined with his technical skills (first touch, passing, shooting) and vision / creativity makes him a strong contender for Ki's successor. And the part I said about him likely becoming key player innthe NT was just a prediction, because it looks like Bento rates him highly (the amount of chances he gets, compared to others like LSW). For now, it looks like he will get a lot of chances to develop, so he would naturally play a big part in Bentos system. I admit though that sometimes I get hyped too early It's just nice to see a player that I rate to score a debut goal.
Some of his movements were good but he always took the bad decision. He tried all the time to make a difference when only a pass was needed.
Who else thinks HHC had a good match despite he wasted chances in front of goal ? For once, I have to say I was glad with his performance.
I don't think Moon is KNT material. We can no longer accept boneheads that just work hard. Oh sorry about that Hwang
Does anyone else hope that MSM converts to a RB. He is not technically good enough to play as a winger but has a great engine. I feel like maybe if he focuses in defending he might be able to be someone later on
