"Where's the ball guys"

 

[Nymzee]

Extremely poor on the ball tonight but his defending is Hibbert-esque. Quality back post defender.

 

[joey_macmo]

His awareness at the back post on crosses is unreal. He’s 2nd sometimes 3rd favourite on some of those headers

 

[CarlitoBrigante]

Gets better each game. Great defending and used the ball well.

 

[dannyboy]

Brilliant at back post defensive headers. Very limited on the ball.

Full credit to the lad though, he's came a long way from his first few weeks in the team.

The lad’s not limited on the ball, he can play a pass as was shown at last Home game. He’s a good all round footballer. He will only get better.

 

[ToffeeTim]

He's grown up a lot in 6 months. He was extremely poor and then made a shambolic error at Leicester.

But the reaction ever since that OG has been outstanding. I can't stress how impressed I am with his attitude and toughness. We need men and he is becoming one.

Hmmm, I wouldn't say he was a 'natural' with the ball at his feet. I'm sure he can be neat and tidy in the right circumstances but I can't see him marauding down the wing any time in a way I like to see our full backs doing.

To me, he appears quick in terms of top speed, but he isn't the most agile. Ability to turn and accelerate is what made Coleman so dangerous. Kenny is fantastic defender though.

I think you’re underestimating him, I’ve seen him play numerous times for U18’s and U23 and he’s no Hibbert with the ball, he’s a good footballer.

Fair enough. Really good chance for him to show it on Monday against Swansea.

 

[evertonarntwe]

He's not limited on the ball but he's always tryna find a forward pass which isn't always on instead of the simple ball

He' a boss defender though

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

He's boss at those back post headers, and arguably as good a defender than Coleman. Nowhere near as good going forward, but I feel there's magic in that right foot of his cross-wise.

He’s not got that acceleration that Coleman has and he hasn’t got his eye for goal but who has. To me he’s a good defender and he is also good on the ball. He can pick out a cross no problem. Nice to see him playing so well and great to have two good right backs.

I think the biggest difference is Coleman could do it all on his own (as he could outrun almost everyone), but Kenny isn't without skill. Hits a better cross than Seamus as well
