Responding to match footage from Schalke 04 TV, many Everton fans have been in full discussion over loanee Jonjoe Kenny’s brilliant block which eventually allowed the German side to come away with a 0-0 draw from Mainz.
Kenny, who is currently enjoying a temporary spell in the Bundesliga, has been described as ‘very brave’ and slowly becoming a ‘fan favourite’ according to Schalke boss David Wagner via iNews. Now, with this footage of the 22-year-old blocking a goal-bound shot to keep the score level, many Toffees supporters have been debating his legitimacy when it comes to challenging for a place in the Everton first team next season.
Compared to current full-back favourite Djibril Sidibe, despite Kenny making more clearances on average (2.7), the AC Monaco loan man has accumulated a superior tackles (3.6) and interceptions (1.9) rate per game, as per WhoScored.com – potentially highlighting how difficult it will be to replicate the Frenchman’s form upon Kenny’s return.
As a result, many Toffees supporters have been debating the youngster’s credentials on social media – find all of their best comments down below.

watched that game, and seen several others, I think we will sell him if an offer came in while being adequate not progressed as I hoped

Ends up tracking his runner and puts a block on. More positives then negatives but I guess he’s a young Everton player so let’s hammer him.

Well he plays wing back and looks like they got countered really quickly. Good recovery nevertheless
