Jonjoe Kenny

[PhilRegan]

The reason he looked OK, unfortunately is really due to how bad Coleman has been for quite some time. Same reason Holgate didn't look to bad there for a few games.

No worse than Coleman has been.

Coleman has been our weakest link defensively -

Coleman and Kenny may have to see us through to the summer but they are not long term.
I think we might try Rangers again and Gerrard is mo longer there.

 

[Terrarian]

To be fair jonjoe didn't expect to still be here at the start of the season, he said as much when interviewed in florida

Sad to say but very true.

I am convinced we would have got sommat out the derby but for his Slippy moment.

And it was his stupid “pass” across our box which gave Palace the initiatie…and the points,

 

[Cameron Manning]

He will almost certainly move on in January or in the summer.

It has taken an injury crisis of huge proportions for him to even get a game.

Now that he finally got a game do you agree he should be given the next game at least?

Give the lad 10 games in a row....see how he does......if he's not good enough so be it....anyone who has played football should know that if the manager trusts you...you feel and play better...I'm not saying he's the answer but how will we know if we don't give him a chance?
Everyone is raving about aarons at Norwich...but he's been given a chance.....and is he really that good?give John Joe a chance...I know a lot will disagree but it makes sense in our situation!

He's had runs of games here and out on loan but he's never looked any better than average. Not everyone can develop in to a top class player thats just how it goes unfortunately and Kenny is a good journeyman pro but no more than that.

I suppose if you ignore the opposition (chelsea) it's logical conclusion.

Kenny has not the pace normally associated with right back wing whatever. Neither did Garry Neville as acknowledged by himself what he did have was a good natural understanding (footballing brain) of the game and did his own home work on opposition.

I suppose we will see whether Kenny has that understanding of the game.

….he’s playing for his future, not necessarily at Everton but he’ll be wanting to impress suitors. He’ll be giving it everything.

He’ll be found out during a run of games but Coleman is also struggling at the moment.

Good backup, nothing more but has youth on his side.

Ideally, Seamus takes a coaching role or similar, and a new starting RB comes in.

 

[roy vernon]

Kenny was ok, no more than that, at Chelsea, having said that he was much better than Coleman has been recently.

He's unbelievably slow for a professional footballer, we broke at a time in 2nd half and Rudiger caught 10yds on him.

Agreed he's not good enough at all, but, on the evidence of this season, he is marginally less poor than Coleman

This time last year i wouldnt have wanted him near Goodison Park, but the way Seamus has declined we've no choice but to give him a run of games unless we can bring in a new RB.
Unless he has a lazarus-esque revival i cant see him being here start of next season.

Unfortunately I think we have seen enough of Kenny to see he's nowhere near prime coleman never mind gary Neville. I think there's a career for him somewhere but sadly for us I don't think so.
