Matthew Pennington

[Hickson9]

So out of his depth here.

 

[bluelegend]

Poor lad is having a shocker.

 

[Durham Toffee]

This is the very definition of bittersweet.

 

[xreyuk123]

Doesn't have a clue how to defend one on one.

He's just running away from them giving them about 5 yards space

 

[davek]

Dont blame the boy. He was thrown in the deep end here.

 

[edge]

Not getting any cover , getting ripped

 

[Thomasc]

He has been given a chance, its up to him to show he has got it. Can't blame the manager for everything!

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Too soon to write Pennington off, this has been a ridiculous ask of him

No first team minutes all season and coming off a serious injury

Too soon to judge him, but I fear the die will be cast for some now

 

[Azza]

Not sure why he doesn't go left as he'd as least have Baines helping him out here.

 

[hktoffee]

Not impressed with his defending. Like the few games he players towards the end of last season.

Looks slower than Jagielka.

Liverpool were good. They snuffed us out in defence and midfield. They've got more class where it matters than us.

Sorry, but I have to disagree. Even I know not to show Courtinho the inside and Pennington managed the same error on at least three occasions. Simply not good enough.

 

[LABlue2]

The die is cast, he's never going to be good enough for the level we aspire to

Sell

 

[Abraders]

Not keen at all

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

@bluestevon this is why I was pushing for Kenny not to play in this one

Pennington has been thrown to the wolves here, and the expected result is happening

Everyone ignoring the mitigating factors and calling for a cull

Again, he's been injured and hasn't played all season

He should have been eased back in to the first team set up, not chucked into the away Derby FFS

Pennington: our joint second top scorer in the derby since 2009.

Another way of looking at it, I suppose.
