When he comes on he has that extra bit of energy we need.
Maybe in for a break out season this year?

Playing really well against Germany tonight. Delivered the corner for their goal Playing left wing back.

His corners were really on the money and he did well at left back. Doesn’t quite have enough pace to play there but he’s game to play anywhere on the pitch.

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

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.

From what I have seen, his corner delivery is the best on the squad and he will be the best replacement for Eze at direct free-kicks (unless Pino has that ability). Certainly someone you want on the bench even if everyone is fully fit and he will get enough minutes to develop. We are light enough on numbers so no question he will be with us indefinitely

The dead ball/free kick point is a very good one. We've seen Olise and Eze move on. I see no real stand out first team free kick exponent. Like you say hopefully Pino can take them. Maybe Uche or Devenny can step up but Eze and Olise will be a tough act to follow.
