Player Topic: Jason Denayer (2015/2016)

He did well today but not well enough to displace Eli or VK at West Brom. Changing that pairing would signal chaos in the camp.

Hate to say it but did you see the first half today, with Vinnie and the Mangler in situ? Chaos would be putting it mildly. They were shocking.

He was so confident and relaxed on the ball even under the pressure that Sagna constantly put him under, the most impressive player in the second half.

Surprisingly, I think starting Denayer against West Brom is less of a risk than starting Kompany.

People might say today was only a pre-season friendly, but it was a week before the season starts and it was shambolic. We cannot start with that defence next week.

He's good enough to start now

Vinny looks the same as last year,rash and not much composure

We need calm at the back,vinny and mangler together doesn't give us that

we were better when denayer came on to replace komps and we got zucullini as a defensive midfield.

I thought he was very good today and he looks good to go and part of the team.

I did and it was chaotic but dropping VK for the opening league match would be a different order of chaos.

We don't have to drop him. Mangala and Denayer looked a miles better partnership in the second half. We are clearly struggling for a def mid for WBA. Put Vinnie DM and all is OK. Simples!!

You play players on form, not reputation, and on form he's not. Denayer is coming off a very good season, and should be rewarded for it, we can manage him through the season, he doesn't have to start every week, but there's no reason why not to start him next week, he's in form and confident, the complete opposite of Vinny.

Put Vinnie DM and all is OK.

He hasn't played that role for 4 or 5 years, so he won't be doing it next week in a crucial game, if there was any chance of that happening they would have tried it second half today, the fact Vinny was taken off tells you all you need to know about him playing DM next week.
