Carl Daniel Jenkinson

[isv]

also helps being in a team u support, u will always give 100%.. Potential to be better than dixon..

[Justhandguns]

Man, at 19, what do you expect! He worked his socks off in the last two games, and most importantly, he's got the height (I think he's 6'2")!

Yes, you guys are right, his crosses are good, much better than Sagna and Walcott. I guess Sagna will have a hard time keep this young lad off the pitch.

[Darth Vela]

Big, strong, determined and a dyed in the wool gooner, plus he never even looks like getting injured so we've got consistent, competent cover at RB and I think in time he'll learn how to give it a go at LB too. He's exactly the kind of guy we need, plus he can swing in a half decent cross which will help when/if a proper CF ends up in the box for us.

He's done well, it's early days though we'll see how he progresses.

[RomfordPele]

Yep, let's see how he does on Sunday against Nani and Young. He's done well so far, but this will be a massive test. I still think we need an established left back.

[Ironing]

Don't know what to make of this guy. Seems to have positional issues.

Don't know how Wenger could have expected a player who was playing at Charlton last season (and was loaned out to a non league team) to cope with facing Nani, Young etc.

The answer to that is in your question - it's Wenger.

[Özim]

Not the guy's fault, he's pretty much come fron non league as mentioned and has been thrown to the lions by Wenger....it's farsical to expect a kid with no top level experience to come in and be able to handle this level...whilst being horribly let down by his more experienced teammates.

The lad went out there and tried his best today. If it's not good enough then it wasn't for lack of effort, it wasn't for lack of trying to do the right thing. Can we say as much for Arshavin, for example? A player with many years experience at the top level? At any normal club Jenkinson could mature into a very good defender. At Arsenal, the asset stripped club, he must be instantly a top class defender. Is that reasonable at all?
