he's played most of his youth career for successful teams i.e. world cup winners and league winners so i doubt he's ever had an amazing amount of defending to do and it has showed. He does chase the ball way too much instead of watching his man, but he'll learn. He's still young and will become a great right back for us, i'm positive. He's great going forward imo and at this stage of coleman's career, kenny is far ahead. Just need patience. It'll probably be his last full game for a while but it'll come, he'll be first choice rb in about 3 years time and even if he becomes just a backup, teams like city are paying £40m and such for backup right backs so it's a win win for us.
 
i just feel a bit sorry for how often he's been stranded with three attackers all running at him at once on the counter with no centre back in sight, quite a baptism of fire ha
 
Leicester played on him the first 25/30 mins but I felt he improved as the game went on. Kept posession when he had to and did the simple things well. As with Tom Davies, was steady and made a few mistakes,as long as he learns from them. Overall did ok imo.

Agree. Doesn't help when teams use his inexperience to their advantage. Would really love this lad to make it here.
 
Coleman will be back for Palace, anyway.
That doesn't necessarily mean that this problem will be solved. Our fullbacks, as other posters have pointed out, are often isolated and Seamus hasn't been his usual self so far this season (understandable, given the events of the last 12 months). Hopefully, that is just a blip but we have to consider the possibility that Kenny will play a reasonable number of games again this year.
 

If we can replace him with someone better, we should.
I agree. And that applies to every one of our players.

One thing I would say with back up players, which is basically what he is, it's very difficult to keep them happy, especially when there is such a clear first choice like Seamus. There's always a risk that a disgruntled player can upset the balance in the dressing room. It can be a fine line.

Eh? This is a 20 year old kid who’s been with us for what over 10 years, I don’t think it’s in his nature to even try to unsettle our dressing room just because he’s got Seamus ahead of him. Even our dressing room shouldn’t be as bad as to have their balance upset by a 20 year old kid, they’re virtually all experienced international players and i can’t believe Silva would be so weak as to let it.
