Sambi Lokonga: Sam Be the Man in Midfield?

[Blankety Blank]

Jorginho been starting init. Whether we agree or not, Sambi fancy himself ahead of Jorge and Havertz.

Think it was interesting that he laughed when answering the question Let's be honest Sambi has not got anywhere near the defensive awareness of Jorgi.
He is also less of a goal threat than Kai/Tross etc to play the 8 role.

Having said that I do think he has some good attributes. He's a very nice passer. Have to say im not sure he has enough of an all-round game even as back up to be an option for a team that is going for the title.
Roy left him out when he came in at CP. Feel for the lad though was hoping he could get regular time at Luton & do well.
Hope he can kick on & have a good 2nd half to the season.

I picked the one I felt was closest (ahead of him) quality wise

You think he genuinely fancies himself over them? I know footballers usually have a distorted self image/belief but still…

I think I am better than Havertz.

He must do surely.

Can't believe they've made a comp with him missing chances and keeping the ball in play

 

[Entropics]

He's so done there's no injury pun for him in the title

lol the Newcastle tackle made it in.

I deserve a slap for laughing at the Rice comp.

With the way the loans for Sambi, Tierney, Tavares and Holding have turned up, we are looking at a bunch of players asked to leave for free this summer.

How'd he go ?

I just saw the first half. He did alright. Game later abandoned due to serious injury.

 

[Vinci]

Had a decent game for Luton.

Hope he keeps it up and we might get some money for him in the summer.

Good environment for him if he continues to get games. Edwards a really good coach.

Our boy is getting better, good to see.

Would like him to continue for the rest of the season, and then come in next season as one of our rotational players.

Looks much more like the kid we signed. He had a horrible introduction into the PL tbh. Took far too much responsibility early due to Partey’s fitness issues and we at the time were in a race for top 4.

I’d loan him again next season to a PL club, no point keeping him around, would happily sell if we got a decent fee but yeah, loan him and let him grow a little more.

Loan him out and buy zubimendi. Basically same player, but new toy for the manager

Genuinely a very nice cameo. Quite impressed with how he shows for the ball and moves the ball faster. Didn't do any of that here.

Classy assist and impressive passing range. Not much pressing from Brighton though. Maybe he could be an option for left 8. He looked good alongside Partey when he first signed then dropped off a cliff.

Looks very basic stuff, I'm glad he can do it right but nothing to get excited about

Agreed. He very noticeably never runs. He just doesn't suit our setup. He was picking out some nice passes though so good on him.
