2018/19 Jonjoe Kenny

[Tin-Tin]

Making the odd mistske or bad decision but the only way he will learn and gain experience is playing games. Never going to be amazing but could be very good backup

I don't remember TD having much of a barnet,particularly drinking with Archie Styles in that pub on Kenny that sold that really strong bitter...Cornbrooks,was it?

Speaking of Archie (and I bet @roydo would know the answer to this), a question at my pub’s quiz night this week was: Born in Bristol in 1904, Archie Leach - an Honorary Oscar winner- was better known by which assumed name?

He needs to sort his positioning out and stop absolutely launching into tackles that he's never going to make which leaves yawning chasms in behind him. I'm sure he'll get there, just needs to do the simple things

 

[RomanReigns]

has the touch of lukaku and the brain of davies

some might say

a LETHAL COMBINATION

 

[DRINGO]

Confidence is lacking ! It’s big step up fromu23’s which he’s been brilliant at ! He’s rarely brought his a game into the perm ! Bit like Davies needs to be more confident !

 

[Zezti]

He needs to stop being crap. Weakest link in the side today.

Tough for him coming up against Maddison and Chilwell. Not going to get any easier for him against Palace with Zaha and Van Aanholt down his flank but hopefully Coleman will be back. He made 3 separate mistakes for their goal but got to ask why we seem to be so vulnerable from counters on our corners as that's twice in the space of a week now.

He still has a lot to learn at this level but I wouldn't write him off, at youth level at two separate international tournaments he was the best full back at the tournament. Think a loan out (similar to Coleman's spell at Blackpool) could do him the world of good.

He wasn't up against Maddison and Chilwell though. Maddison spent most of the game inside where he was Davies and Gueye's responsibility. So Kenny really just had to deal with Chilwell playing more or less as an out and out winger and he couldn't do it. Then the goal he was an absolute mess. I like Jonjoe and hope he can step up but today was very concerning.

Would rather have Holgate at roghtback and Holgate is a poor fullback.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Committed himself far too easily. Stay on your feet.

 

[Khalekan]

He got rinsed for their goal to be fair like.

Gylfi made a right mug of Madison, whom has just been called up for England after an impressive start to the season.

It happens, innit

Cary Grant!!

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Doing ok. Promising future for him.

 

[Bob Elstone]

He was the weak link against Leicester.

Doesn’t look quick enough, got roasted for pace a few times.

A decent analysis of their goal shows a lot to work on, not just for Kenny. We had two players covering the middle when they counter attacked at pace , not good enough as a team. Kenny took a step towards the player with the ball presumably to cut down their options but maybe to play offside. The second player , Digne ?, remained static and Pereira was away . He now had a couple of yards on Kenny and with his pace could have gone all the way on goal. Kenny tracked back well, let’s face it he’s not the speediest full back , and was cutting off his route to goal , but as soon as Pereira started to cut inside he had all the advantage he needed as Kenny was going towards our goal and was now off balance and easily turned. The last desperate “throw your body in the line of the shot “is a Kenny trademark, sometimes it works other times it makes you look foolish. He was still going to be turned , the respective starting positions of both players ensured Pereira had the advantage, but with experience he’ll learn when to stay upright when to dive in .
Overall I’d rate him as a 6 yesterday, good enough to retain his place, not good enough to keep Coleman out - but the gap between the two is narrowing, although Coleman is boosted by the GOT malady “ the longer I don’t play , the better I get”
