Kenedy

[TRon]

He thinks he's better than he is, that's the problem. Rafa probably fancied he could improve him, but he needs to learn to do the basics first.

[Ketsbaia]

Starting to think we were lucky in not buying him permanently. Boy, has he dropped.

[Guest neesy111]

Starting to get annoyed with him.

34.5% passing accuracy today

I've missed a few games this year, including the Cardiff match, but I'd say today was the single worst individual performance by anyone I've seen this the season. Thought he was a bit of a disgrace tbh; and I think it takes a lot for me to say that about someone in this squad, cos they apply themselves really well across the board, in spite of the lack of talent. He was crap in virtually everything he did.

 

Don't wanna whinge too much cos it's a cracking result, but fucking hell. We need the likes of this lad to be on the ball.

Yep, but not in the first two thirds. Same with Perez. He panicked every single time he was even just remotely pressed and hoofed it aimlessly.

[Yorkie]

True, he looked well and truly out of position.

[Guest firetotheworks]

He was far worse Vs Cardiff, I promise you Yorkie. It was honestly probably the worst individual performance I've ever seen from a Newcastle player. Not just this season, ever. Boumsong Vs Liverpool is the only contender I can think of.

[Wullie]

Cacapa vs Pompey takes some beating. Seem to remember Dyer giving an outrageously bad performance that had to be seen to be believed after the Boro sub situation as well. Think it was midweek vs Norwich.

[Yorkie]

I can't really remember Cacapa vs Pompey, even though I watched it and can obviously remember us being 3 down after about 15 minutes. Was it all on him, that deficit?

Allardyce certainly thought so, he took him off after 18.

[Yorkie]

Can't remember anything specific, but there must be a Butt/Smith performance, from the first time we went down, which is in the top few worst performances. They were absolutely shite.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Cacapa's was all just not having any pace and us playing a high line wasn't it?  I know they all count, but that seems a bit harsh. Kenedy didn't complete a single pass for 45 minutes and missed a pen it was obvious he was going to miss. It was like he had a bet on the match, I've never seen anything like it. Way, way worse players (Butt, Smith, Faye etc) never had performances as bad as Kenedy's.

[geordiedean]

Even that Cacapa performance was not as bad as Fumacas run out

Kenedy is def not a wing back. He’s a winger through and through.

[themanupstairs]

Not sure what he was playing at today. Can't be the first time he's played that position. Hoofed it and lost it pretty much every time he touched the ball. Something's not right with him. I hope the hoofing wasn't an ironic dig at being played as a wing-back.

[TRon]

But how does playing wing back mess up his passing? You would think it should be easier when you are playing deeper.

[Kanj]

He didn’t look comfortable in his position and he’s bang out of form man. It’s not very hard to comprehend lol.

Yup. It's not like we're a team that's always on the front-foot these days anyway. His position shouldn't have been that alien to him especially that he will have played there a few times with Chelsea.

[geordiedean]

Fact is he's just nowhere near as good as he was made out to be last season he's another in a line of bang average shite we have at the moment

[Kanj]

I wholeheartedly disagree.

He's much better than he's shown so far this season man. His head's not right for whatever reason, but he can definitely do a lot better, just by keeping it simple.

Now this I agree with! I wonder why he constantly cuts inside into traffic so much this season.
