akgw13 867 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 My initial hope was that Kenedy could be a good LWB along with Baba but its curious that Conte would send them both away knowing full well we only really had alonso/aina for LWB. Perhaps he could have a moses-esque resurgence and adapt to the role but he will have to really commit to getting back on D and reading the game. I was enthusiastic about his possibilities as a LWB now im a lot more hesitant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I would definately bring him back here in jan. I still have full faith he can make it as LWB. But he needs to play alot. Now his loan is pointless, even if he wont play much here, he can learn from conte and improve for next season. Alonso cant play every game and I certainly prefer Kenedy over Iva.

OneMoSalah 8,948 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I think loaning him to Watford was logical because they have an Italian manager who usually sets up with a 3 man defence and wing backs where he could develop and learn the role before maybe being considered for a place here in a similar position... and I'm sure the club thought the same considering Conte always thought about using 3 at the back and wing backs eventually. Shame it's not worked out but would have been a good loan if he could get in to the team in that left wing back role ahead of Holebas. The Skipper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it worked with Moses doesn't mean any Tom, Dick and Harry could. Its like saying give every manager loads of time because well look at Fergie. If Bertrand was to work in this system it would be as a LCB but playing two natural full backs in a back three would probably make us more suseptible down the middle.

I was enthusiastic about his possibilities as a LWB now im a lot more hesitant. As an offensive option, I never had any hope for Kennedy from the moment I first saw his YouTube videos. Not enough quality of touch. I love his hussle around the pitch but I do not think this qualifies him as a wingback. Indeed, I'd say he has a better chance as an out-and-out left back. The key component of a wingback is to be a good possession player. This is why a rather ordinary defender like Alonso, and a converted attacker like Moses, have nevertheless made good contributions to our general improvement. Kennedy is not a good possession player. He's more about making explosive and spectacular contributions. Minute by minute, game by game, moving the ball around calmly and accurately is not his thing. That is Alonso's thing however, and I love him for it. Even so, I want us to find an upgrade to Marcos. I want a player who can give us the stability in possession which Alonso provides but with a more powerful defensive performance at the same time. Kennedy is not that player. Learning to be an excellent defender who can provide an overlapping threat is his main chance. A threat which comes from getting on the end of passing combinations, rather than being involved in them. This is a huge task for Kennedy. He has spent virtually all his life as an attacker yet he has not become an excellent one. To change to a new position now, and to excel at it, is almost certainly too much to hope for. akgw13 and The Skipper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how he develops. I think he could be absolutely brilliant sub if we need to get back in the game. He is a direct and not afraid to try things. Also very quick and decently strong which is great against tired defences. akgw13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does depend on his getting a better understanding of what he can and cannot do, and on being willing to accept such a role as a career choice. Becoming a starting defender is almost impossible for Kennedy, but becoming a starting attacker at Chelsea's level is even less likely. The role you suggest is a potential solution for him. The Skipper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akgw13 867 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 @OhForAGreavsie @BlueLyon I agree with both of you. Kenedy just seems to lack the necessary skillset of the position(at the moment) there is always the off off off very slim chance Conte can work his magic on him. But worst case I agree that he can be a super sub if we are behind and need a little more direct attack from the LWB role. It is a shame as I had high hopes for him initially and am not willing to completely right him off but it does look like a steep up hill climb for him. I am still holding out hope that Baba can come back with some confidence and be a good depth option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky 739 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Good to hear his back. I want to see him given a shot as LWB. I think he could do well for us. Him and Moses would be a fanatic pair of WB's   King11Didier, Svita 10 and Chelseabluerising 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
