Understand that he’s a young prospect with loads of developing to do, already in the Belgium team etc.Think the criticism of Sambi is pretty harsh actually. I think the midfield and defence struggled because we had no counter threat. As usual we couldn’t get out or make it stick up front and ended up just dropping deep so we had no exit.
You’ve got to discourage these teams away from home or they’ll just swamp you. Inviting teams onto you is fine, not my preferred strategy, but it can be dangerous if you carry a threat. We just spent the game waiting to concede and when we did it was over. Personally I thought we needed more from Saka, ESR and Auba but the positional negativity is a real issue
As I said before, just don’t see it with this kid. Mediocre passing range, poor positioning, not a shooting threat and lacks defensive instincts.
On top of all that, he’s too casual on the ball and thinks he’s Iniesta with the ball at his feet. I may be proven wrong but he’s the most disappointing of our summer business by a considerable distance.
Personally, I don’t see one as of yet. I just felt he struggled mostly because of how negative we were and had no one really to link with. He’s composed and he tries to do the right things which in time and some maturity will serve him well to become a good player.Understand that he’s a young prospect with loads of developing to do, already in the Belgium team etc.
But what do you see being his ‘superpower’ when he has developed? Just like with Douzi, I see a technically gifted player but I don’t see a standout attribute with him. That might just mean he’s going to develop into a very good all rounder tbf, but would be interesting to know what others see.
Wonder who is gonna be that starter if that's the case... Elneny? Xhaka? These guys are even worseHe should be on the bench tbf, doenst offer enough for now.

I would actually say the opposite - we are banking on Sambi being a long term option but currently he's a 22 year old with about 6 games experience in the Premier League. The player we're seeing now is nowhere near the finished article and AMN has FAR more experience as it stands.Sambi has done well at times, tbf to him though he wasn't supposed to be a starter just yet. People ask if AMN should be next to Partey but the reality is neither are good enough long term. We need a partner for Partey who is actually better than Partey. No idea who but that position and a top CF is needed ASAP.
Sangaré / Kessie/ Zakaira we can get them easily but i prefer Kelvin PhillipsSambi has done well at times, tbf to him though he wasn't supposed to be a starter just yet.

Azeez looks a more natural talent / footballer to me.Might have jumped the gun to early here. Im not sure I see anything that makes him better talent than Azeez.
From one match? I blame social media everything nowadays is worthless unless you can microwave it. I’d rather have Sambi than Xhaka for sure at least Sambi doesn’t get red carded and by the way how many bad giveaways under pressure has Chaka had that resulted in goals. Are you telling me that Xhaka never played in the midfield of a blowout loss or something?Let’s be honest he should only be rotation as soon as xhak is back
I would start sounding out clubs that would take him on loan for next season
