trueblueal 2,117 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Still has a lot to learn about decision making and overplaying at times. We need a player up there who scores, Morelos doing it himself too often. Kent should be droppable but probably isn't just now until Jones is fully fit Hopefully a right sided inside forward in Jan. Maybe a centre mid too, after the 4 usuals we don't have much in reserve. Tonight we had Davis out and nobody trusted after Kamara, Jack and Aribo who is himself very raw.

bluebell82 236 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 People imo were getting too carried away thinking Kent was a world beater, he seemed to get better the longer he was away from us in pre-season. He is a good player but still very inconsistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA1972 9,057 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 He’s a winger, he’s going to have great games and bad games but at least he’s giving us 110% every game he might not have contributed too much going forward tonight but we absolutely suffocated them first half and Kent was a big part of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can have not a single complaint about being subbed for Ojo - yip he was that bad. 2 minutes ago, GA1972 said: He’s a winger, he’s going to have great games and bad games but at least he’s giving us 110% every game he might not have contributed too much going forward tonight but we absolutely suffocated them first half and Kent was a big part of that He’s not gave us a great game yet though, fair enough he scored two against Hamilton.

tannerall 25,935 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Don't rate him highly at all. There may be potential, but I think he is a poor team player, and though direct with some pace, he mostly lacks the final touch that consistently creates the assist or goal.

That extra turn, touch whatever. relax man, beat your man then play the best option or drive forward. it’s so obvious when he’s playing confidently to when he’s nervous and trying too hard.

That’s why Gerrard likes him, you must have heard his comments about him in the past surely? and a person who is in to snakes and tattoos and keeps himself quiet isn’t the same as the bale types you get these days don’t try use that against him fuck sake Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,433 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 He needs to stop overplaying it and going backwards or stationary. Plenty of times tonight he could have drove forward with the ball and took players on but did another step over, spun back and passed backwards/sideways. Needs to be more direct and brave, not something I thought I'd have to say about Ryan Kent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,287 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Like other posters have said, I think he is pressing. Could do with smiling a wee bit more as well. I've no doubt he will have some big games in the near future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canabear 4,558 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Far too often Kent's brain is ahead of his feet or vice versa but when they are in sync he is very effective. Tonight nothing was working for him and he looked lethargic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd 10,756 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 He’ll come good definitely got massive potential just wish we would teach him to make runs into the box to meet crosses/cutbacks more often so many times tonight we had no one in the box or only Morelos.

STEPPS BOY 73,141 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Said last season that Kent is most effective when playing as a winger. He doesn’t have the touch or awareness to play as an inside forward/number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 He’s been shite in the past three games and although we shouldn’t hold his price tag over his head we paid the money for him to show up on occasions like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
