Anyone else see similarities between Stambouli and Scott Parker?
yes and no.
stambouli is better in tight spaces.
thought the game v sunderland was his best to date

Less pirouette-y, but see your point.
Offers the muscle that we dont get from Bentaleb and Mason, but has some really delicate skills too.
Dembele and Stambouli are actually becoming my favoured CM pairing.
Will be nice to see the battle for midfield unfold and rotation should become a joy.
Thought he was MOTM yesterday. Agree with likeness to Parker but I think he has more to his game. Parker was great at ratting around and getting in the oppositions faces but once he had done the hard work of winning the ball he invariably passed it straight back to them. stambouli can pass and also has great range in his passing too. Not to mention he has already scored a goal.
I thought his passing was quite good and always looking for the forward pass option, he complemented dembele in the middle well....
I think in 6 months hel be quality. Reminds me of a cross between flamini and parker. But prob better on the ball. Only thing with him is thath he has a mad ten mins most weeks where he does everything like a child. Those will get ironed out soon enough but are hard to get outta your mind when judging him. I like him though
Glad someone else thought this, I'm not crazy. Or maybe we're crazy together :adebaehug:
Impressed with his improvement, when I first saw him thought he was decent on the ball but was not quick/fit enough for the position and left us exposed far too often (see his first EL game), a few months of Poch training and he now seems to have the work rate to impact the game more.
His natural talent and reading off the game are top notch and I do not see how with Poch as manager his fitness won't go like that of Kane and Eriksen and just keep on getting better. His performances have improved as his fitness has so I do not think this form is a blip, hopefully this is the standard from him going forward.

Nah, you're not alone. I thought he was MOTM along with Rosie on Saturday
As I'd previously thought, I think to look good in a Pochettino style system, you need to be fit for it. No surprised that having joined the club a little later than the rest of the team and missing the pre-season, it's taken him a little longer to get to grips with it.
I think Mason, Bentaleb and Stambouli are three very high tempo midfielders that will be rotating for the rest of the season.
Adds grist to "the French speaking clique in revolt conspiracy" mill.
Stambouli's internal exile has been one of the more frustrating aspects of the season.
I posted this in the Summer Transfer thread. I think it has more to do with fitness than anything. He always looked a bit off the pace when he played.
Couldn't agree more, with a full pre-season with Poch he will be a beast next season!
No he won't!
Is this some kind of gallows humour. ? Your not being serious.........are you ?
I've liked the look of him. Be interesting to see if he can make the grade after a full pre-season.
