As for us and considering where we are in the league and with a transfer window about to open. Feck it, this is the last chance saloon now for Eddie and Sambi. Fair enough they were squad filer for the first half of the season but we're going for the league now. If they can't push our starters time to bin and bring in serious upgrades.

Eddie against certain type of teams I've still got faith he can do a job even though i'd prefer a more tradtional hold up forward to link the team together. Sambi has just been meh his whole career here. I don't recall him ever putting in a 7/10 performance in any game. People say we got great money for Joe Willock. Sambi's cost wasn't that far of his and he didn't have the 1 in 7 scoring rate.
I think Eddie's been fine. Also, for the last couple of games, MA's been trying him on the left and while he's still learning the role, I think he has potential there. Cutting in diagonally and going past players.

Also think Sambi was growing into the DM role - he got caught out a little bit positionally once or twice. But learned to keep it simple with the ball in our half like Mo and being more creative when in theirs.

Though he was woeful in the AM role vs Zurich.

Hope that Reiss Nelson comes good again. Looked fine both times.
