Jenkinson shows how much the mighty have fallen!!!

Let's be honest the lad looked out of his depth against Udinese. Wenger signs him from Charlton where he played 9 games. He was on loan at Eastbourne Borough of the Conference before being recalled for the Johnstone Paints trophy against Brentford!! What on earth is he doing playing him out of position in the CL. Have we got no one else? Does Wenger think that due to his superior training methods the lad will develop significantly enough in the pre-season games that he is now ready to play in the CL or Premiership? I have nothing against the lad but surely idf he send kids like Lansbury out to Norwich and Vela, a Mexican international, to other teams why the hell is he playing Jenkinson. The squad is paper thin now and this is an example of how Wenger is scraping the barrel!!!

Didn't wenger say & Ii quote "We have enough centre backs & jenkinson can play there as well "......So he plays him at left back

Yeah, i felt for the bloke. Arsenal debut, obviously really nervous and it showed.
Sagna went to swap sides when Jenkinson came on but was told to stay where he was.
How can Wenger play the kid at LB and out of position in such a game!!
What goes on in his head???

Amazing how people view the same thing differently!

We were sat near the corner flag so had a perfect view of the guy, and came away saying how well we thought he had done. I thought he was caught out once but other than that performed really well.

Crazy isn't it. Not the lads fault. Wenger should be ashamed of himself. Could knock the lads confidence big time.

It makes you wonder what Steve Rowley and his scouting team actually do if the likes of Jenkinson is the fruit(s) of their missions! Really,what do they fucking do???

He looked out of his depth in the emirates cup, god help us if he plays in our next 2 league games, then again I hope he does and gets fucking roasted, thus more pressure on the "senile one"

Said the same and that one time he was caught out I thought he recovered well.

Feel sorry for the lad think everybody has been on his back since day one because he is not a "name". People forget that he is the replacement for Eboue and I would rather have Jenkinson playing as emergency cover at left back than that clown. Mind you it shouldnt even be coming to that... Gibbs injured again

It not the boys fault, he should only be back up while still learning its AW throwing him in at the deep end rather the buying.

Why didnt dopey Wenger swap Sagna to LB.

Jenkinson will be ok in the Carling.But at the end of the day we bought him from the 1st division what do you expect.

Same here, after being roasted straight after coming on i thought he settled and played quite well considering how much udinese were targeting him.

Feel sorry for him. Wengers decisions get more baffling as each season comes and goes. we are in so much trouble this season.
