Ki Sung-yueng @ Newcastle United FC 2018-2019 [R]

I watched the match. He was alright, did his usual passing, but they were basically sitting back and hoping to score from set pieces or a fast counter. Couldn't really do much in his limited role, calmed it down a bit for his side, but didn't offer much at all going forward.

 

He's so slow now. I wonder if his knee is acting up, or if he took a lot of stuff in WC prep.

 

Not WC slow.

Started today. Playing now.

 

Been meaning to ask, how exactly did Ki get selected as Captain during Swansea? Does it just boil down to his position and veteran pitch knowledge?

Dude always seem to be caught up in some bullshit so it came off as a surprise when I found out he was a Captain. I'm guessing it's just media shenanigans?

 

He was captain?

 

for like 1 game iirc

 

Sorry, I don't know what the hell I was smoking all these years. I could have sworn seeing the captain tag on a box score one day and just rolled with it since.

 

Hi, are you Rob Brighton?

 

Two games in a row he hasn't even made then bench. Is he injured?

 

Hope so.

 

apparently not. but the Geordies are increasingly calling for him to start over Diamé who has been awful.

after today's shock collapse vs ManUre, Rafa will need to make some changes. harsh to judge Ki as of yet as he's not really been given a chance.

 

ki sungyong hasnt been too great in the games he featured

 

KSY also need to start being more aggressive and get better defensively. His style suits a 4-3-3 with a cdm. I would image if you have 2 cms they both need to put in lots of defensive work especially Newcastle. KSY never impressed me defensively. In fact, compared to other well known cms he is a pushover

 

You're asking for too much on a guy who has a bad knee.

 

The teams in the PL doesnt care about his knee. I am just trying to theorize why he isnt in the squad the past 2 wks. If the PL is too much for him, he should leave.

 

he's asking too much on a 30 year old player to change his playing style.

 

It correlates to what I've said.

 

Not even on the bench.
