I was a little bit worried that he wouldn't cope the whole match, be rusty or not on par with Chester - he proved me wrong on every point, a very accomplished performance. Seems to link up well with Chester, he goes for the header, Chester mops it up. I noticed he played on the left side of Chester, when he came on for Terry, Chester switched and Samba played right didn't he. It's a bit odd that a leftie Chester playes to the right and a right footed Samba plays to the left. But it worked well, I guess it's good for the stability of the whole team if the back 4 changes as little as possible.
He may seem to be clumsy at times, but at times he showes really good skills and looks a good passer as well. He is fast becoming one of my favourite players!
