jenkinson looked lost on the field, many a time he tried to clear and then had no clue where the ball was...i won't get too excited yet personally speakingaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

jenkinson is still a RB.....he will only play there if both Traore and Gibbs are injured......

indeed.


really all we need at LB is a warm body that stays in position and is half-way competent at defending.



gibbs is a complete joke. injured after every other match (no exaggeration) and goes forward like an idiot but has the nerve to stay forward. theres so many times he's standing in the opponent's box trying to get involved in some link-up play or something but it's completely unnecessary and then there's counter attack down his flank which he cant make it back to defend on... im sick of him

He didnt look comfortable but thats prolly nervouseness

Jenkinson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gibbs in defending. And Gibbs attacking doesn't make up for it. Plus Gibbs is way too injury prone. Shoulda gotten a LB. Arsene knew Gibbs is injury prone...

I dont think Jenkinson did anything special today to have this discussion.. He was nervous.. He just stayed back...
& at one point i saw Gibbs playing at right corner of the field along with Gervinho..

gibbs wasnt that bad ?

Gibbs wasn't that bad. He made some obvious errors, but he wasn't that bad.

Jenkinson was a bit lost, thats true, but I have to say that he barely let anyone run past him. His tackling was spot on, his pace was put to good use, his pressing was effective and he got the job done. In fact, he almost always came out with the ball.
Ever since Jenkinson stepped foot, we were not that troubled defensively because he managed to subdue Isla/Di Natale.

Maybe I'm being biased though

that's what we need

So basically:

We need a real LB.

i woudl much rather have a defender who DEFENDS and does whats asked of him , thats to have some gung-ho type of defender that thinks he is ronaldo, and doesn't bother to defend. Gibbs is like the pseudo Clichy.... and that is the worst thing you could say to to LB really!

wrong.

cant compare Jenkinson with Gibbs really.

Jenkinson looks like a 16 year old in PE.

The sooner we gets a LB version of Sagna, the better. on the topic, nervousness aside, i thought he was fairly solid.

the point is that there's no a good LB out there.

If there was a good one liverpool wouldnt have moved for enrique or Man City wouldnt have gone for Clichy.

Song covered Gibbs a lot tonight as he should do, but Gibbs needs to get back quick if he does make a run.

Jenkinson did okay and nothing more.

Gibbs didn't even do that badly. Certainly not bad enough for the need to play Jenkinson in his place.

The thing is, Jenkinson has never played in the Premiership and only just made his first appearance in the Champions League. I don't think it'd be wise to throw this guy into the deep end. Blending him in slowly and giving him sub appearance and cup starts would be more productive.

But then who plays in LB?
