Kenedy

Offers much more than Pedro.

Please don't send out on loan...please don't send out on loan....

 

I know he probably won't get too many minutes here, but sending him out on loan would just mean the beginning of the end of his Chelsea career

[Special Juan 28,107]

Did well, won't start next game so no point in getting excited. Same as RLC, dare not try something slightly different in case this great run of form and results goes tits up

This guy's tattoos - proper street

Shame that goal won't go his way, would've been a good start to 2016 with these young guys. Good performance, who's turn next match?

Am I the only one who thought he was poor apart from the goal?

Sure, he ran a lot, but he gave the ball away cheaply sooo many times and got beaten too easily on the wing a couple of times. 

That said, even playing with 10 would have been an upgrade on Pedro's first half performance!

He was fine. I don't expect genius ball retention or decision making from a ninteen year-old.

Hahaha found this on his Instagram

It's Amber Rose

HAS to start over Pedro if Hazard isn't fit. Maybe start both of them.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

The fact that he is our most promising left back option despite a vast sum of money on that position is astounding.

 

just blood him there, it's the most obvious place he will ever get a place in the team.

Why play him at LB when hes shown hes clearly got enough about his game to play on the left wing and probably the right if needed? I really like this kid and hope he gets a chance to play as often as he can but hes obviously not a left back, hes a left winger/striker, no point reinventing him, would just kill his career.

Yeah man. Pedro's 'adapting' period has come at the wrong time for us and Kenedy looks hungry enough not to let it phase him. He's not much worse anyway and once Hazard's fit he'll be fine to finish the season strong

[DYC. 7,542]

He seems to be in a great frame of mind right now. Coming on as an impact sub against tired legs multiple times now and performing admirably. Hard to judge him in a regular situation since he never starts.

You'd think Hiddink wouldn't play Pedro with Pedro performing so poorly but it's unlikely away at the Emirates. As poor as Pedro has been, he's been doing his defensive duties and he does it quite well. Still, would be nice to see Kenedy start. But that would not be the Chelsea way.

Marcelo and Alaba moved from up the pitch, would you say it killed their career?

Kenedy displays at left back have been very exciting and he has the potential to he a revelation there, where as at winger he lacks the close control and decisions making to be top bracket.

In short I think he has the potential to be a world class fullback, but not more than a very good winger.
