StaunchLondonGer 1,651 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Honestly think to single out Kent in a game where as a team we created enough gilt-edged chances to win 3 fucking matches is a bit silly. Strikers need to be clinical especially from the penalty spot and big tall defenders with free headers in front of goal need to at least hit the fucking target tbh.

Real Ranger 3,195 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Wasn’t at his brilliant best but it wasn’t through lack of effort and he did see plenty of the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,720 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Him and Aribo both work hard but actually offered very little of quality. Aribo had 3 opportunities to gamble at balls breaking loose around the goal line and each time was a yard or so slow. Kent had opportunities to deliver quality but a shocking effort at goal and a poor cross in a dangerous break summed up his day. Pretty poor return on the day from both.

Watched the highlights earlier and thought the same about aribo , the morelos shot that goes through lurch he should have been in to tap it in but didn't react quick enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 1 hour ago, TMB said: When Kent had the ball he had Brown and Frimpong next to him. He had no space to run at people and cause havoc the way he normally does. Barisic was too busy marking Forest so there was no overlapping full-back and little support. Then he takes them for a walk, he draws them in and simply lays the ball off into the space he’s created by drawing them in. If that’s the best he can do getting a wee bit of attention he might as well not play at the end of the month then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say he is being singled out. He had a poor game and it’s being discussed that’s all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,855 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If I'm being honest that Frimpong matched up to him pace wise early doors and I think this put him off a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee9 3,972 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 He had a quiet game yesterday but I think people need to calm down a touch. He's a quality player who will more than prove his worth as the season unfolds. Watch him on the 29th👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t “a wee bit of attention” he had Brown standing beside him the entire game. celtic obviously singled him out as one of our main threats and decided to sacrifice Brown to keep him quiet. Whenever the opposition do this (doubling up) it’s up to the rest of the team to exploit the space left. We did control the midfield so perhaps we did benefit from it.

bluebell82 243 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Kent is a typical frustrating winger, alot of promise but not consistent enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he can’t play against them again then. We have a 7mill player that can’t play against our biggest rivals because he can’t get away from Scott Brown. He should running rings around that poor excuse for a footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criticism is warranted. Personally, I think we paid too much for the boy and he will carry that on his shoulders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of another player who can - or will try to - carry the ball at pace and offer a creative or finishing threat is more of a problem than Kent being inconsistent. Can we melt the 100 other wide players down and make a shiny new right-sided one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it stop Son scoring having 5 or 6 around him? There was a moment he was in a race with Brown and couldn't outrun him! Never offered enough, Ojo is slated for similar performances. The brown thing was weird tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Has the price tag gone to his head? Seems to think he's Messi running about midfield and dropping too deep and ends up running across the pitch creating nothing. Needs to goo back to being more direct. Was more evident vs Aberdeen than against the tarriers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the wider game as it unfolded you'd see that the attention given to Kent by the scum actually helped us control and dictate the pace. He ran his heart out as did Jack and many others. Ultimately, he didn't have a moment of individual brilliance yesterday whereas Jack did, but he was decent enough and, unlike Morelos, he's proved himself against the unwashed previously. For me, there's something authentic about Kent. He has proper class, he plays with heart, and he gets what we're about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
