Devenney scored, so he did

If you watch the German goals and be harsh about it - Devenny was probably somewhat to blame for two.
He had good moments but this wasn't a good match for him.
Certainly at fault for the first goal being out-muscled by Gnabry. Second, I suppose he could have covered infield a bit better but the central defenders and goalie were more to blame. The third goal should have been disallowed as German players were nowhere near a yard away from the wall. Looks like that is just an anti-Palace thing.
Devenney dives in too much and is not quick enough for the fastest wingers but I doubt if he will be deployed at wing-back by Palace. His corners were excellent: first headed over by Bradley(?) from 5 yards; second the goal from a planned routine; third forced a good punch from the goalie under pressure. Goodness knows why he did not take the next one . which was easily cleared. Definitely a better delivery than Eze and Wharton (and probably Hughes) from both sides
 
I suspect it was 50/50 as to whether he'd make it in the PL. I imagine if he keeps improving there'll be contract talks around Christmas time.

Certainly how I see it - talk of interest from top six clubs is mental; he's miles off that standard.

Seems a great guy who works really hard and has a lovely left foot - I'm not yet convinced he's good enough to be a Premier League regular - I think a return to Scotland to play in the Scottish Prem seems a much more likely path for him to follow.
 
Devenney’s strength is he is versatile and can play a number of positions. Clearly has a good attitude and just gets on with it, doing whatever the manager needs him to do. That strength is also why I think he may struggle to establish himself. Really good back up or squad player in lots of positions but not really good enough to start in any of them.
