Won't blame him for wanting to join a club renowned for turning talented youngsters into world class players.
But he's certainly not ready for the first-team.
Absolutely spot on, the gap from L1 to the top of the Premiership is huge and I am stunned that he is in their first XI, even allowing for their injuries/departures.
Seems to have a bad attitude as well, Walcott had to bust his ass to cover for him and told Jenkinson off (and rightly so) Jenkinson replied by telling him to "f**k off, f**k off". Although he did well setting up RVP for their 2nd.
At least he's developed from the delicate little flower who got shouted at by the big bully boys at D&R last season!
No matter how good or bad he was yesterday, he was better than Traore, for a while I wondered if it was Djimi playing.
Or as Merson would say 'fish up a tree' - The trouble is there were a few more youngsters out there apart from Jenkinson being exposed and the bad experience could either make or break them, only time will tell. One thing is for sure, the sports psychologists will have them looking back on this as all part of the learning to curve and to be stronger for it.
Felt he really was exposed by his team mates yesterday.
Wallcott, having a dig at him hardly helped as well, especially when he played in defence and gave the penalty away.
As most of the commentators stated, really unfair to leave the lad like that exposed in what was his second prem game. what is he suppossed to say to the manager
Sorry I do not fancy going to Old Trafford and playing against United.?
The lad is inexperienced, and has no experience at this level, Wenger for all his insight, and clever tactics got this hopelessly wrong yesterday.
Merson, Dixon, and every ex Arsenal pundit had a big dig at Wenger yesterday.One can only imagine what the likes of Ian Wright are thinking?
Yes the move was far too early, but not for a moment did I think he would be in the first team, and he probably did not as well.
Frankly the other Arsenal defenders were appauling yesterday, along with Wenger's tactic.
Felt sorry for Jenks when Walcott was having a go at him. He had no communication from anyone in that Arsenal team apart from Walcott giving him a roasting. They have no leaders so how can they expect kids to perform at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old, who worked with Andy Woodman during their time at Charlton, made almost 100 Premier League appearances whilst also racking up a handful of appearances in the Champions League too.

I don’t remember us being in the Champions league?

Andy Woodman would've known Jenkinson at CAFC as well as at Arsenal when Andy did some coaching there despite Carl going out on loan while at Arsenal. Jenkinson never had pace but his experience should help League 2 Bromley. One England cap that he can tell his grandchildren about.

Was at a fans forum with Christian Daillyanc a young youth product, Carl Jenkinson, a rabbit caught in head lights at the time!
