Maybe its my green shoot coloured glasses, but Samo seems to be in the packs looking to be involved, rather than outside them watching for opportunities. Gets really close to the action sometimes, so more chance for him to grab hold of the ball.
You're not wrong, Samo is a hybrid inside/outside midfielder.
He'll assess whether it's the right time to get his own ball or wait outside if Cripps is in a strong position to extract it, all in a matter of milliseconds.
