Kent looks like a donkey right now!

[CoplandRoad83 3,251]

wld prefer him to stay wide and focus on beating his man atm - coming too deep and inside and getting suffocated. Off form yes but hes a player

I don't think the state of our pitch helps him right now.

The pitch is worth a thread on its own.  No coincidence that it has been shit since the turn of the year and we have struggled with the speed of our passing.  

[jjbscotty12 3,560]

Get him back to left wing if he’s playing because that number 10 position isn’t helping him.

[GA1972 9,556]

If he’s taking his man on I’d like to see him go to the bye line every now and again, far too obvious cutting inside 

And they either need to teach him how to shoot or tell him to stop shooting from difficult angles/ranges

He's been poor as has arfield Davis Aribo and barasic too many players off form

it's  Barisic and when has he been poor?

As for Kent -- needs to get back to basics and stop thinking he's better than he really is.

Did we not reseed it with a special new hybrid system this year?

Would rather see Kent coming in from the right side of the pitch. He just looks off when he comes in from the left and tries a shot with his right foot. Really impressed with Hagi, as he can come from both sides and can use both feet for a crack at goal. Need to get the balance right. 

[.Williamson. 82,211]

Kent was always hit and miss

[STEPPS BOY 73,916]

Never a number 10 in his life..

[Nk89 1,289]

Think the team need a game away from ibrox to get a bit of freedom back in there play. Everyone is scared to play the wrong pass or give it away. 

Apart from Hagi n Morelos nobody was wanting the ball last night

[jackrfc95 4,255]

Needs dropped.

Although in his defence he doesn't look comfortable in the number 10 position, all his good play comes when he's wide running at the defence.

There were times last night he was wandering about on the half way line.

You think our pitch is fine?

Seems be more effective when we play away

[Flatcap 489]

I thought he looked more 'lost' last night than off form. He and Hagi are similar players and it should be a dream pairing. In reality, it rarely works like that. I remember when the English National team had Gerrard, Scholes and Lampard at their disposal. Should have been world beaters but they could never play any two together with any degree of success. 

Barisic was much better last night but for me, the big difference was having Edmundson in the team. He was responsible for the free kick that led to their goal but he atoned on the stroke of half time (sign of a good player) and looked rock solid alongside Goldson. His physicality is very impressive too for such a young lad. It's about time he became a fixture in the side.

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

He's out of form but certainly not the only one in the squad at the moment.

Also think he is a bit stuck for ideas in the number 10 role. So many times he is doubled up on causing him to go sideways across the pitch.

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Out of form and the price tag could be heavy on him.

Been played out of position imo.

Definitely not a positional thing ,he's getting plenty ball in forward areas but can't go by a guy in a forward direction,  always to the side or back. He's our game changer but has still got his Dubai flip flops on.

It’s been better but I’m not going to blame that on us being shite the past month. 

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

You can see his ability and he's a yard quicker than the rest, but we are getting no final product from it, but I'll put that down to how we are playing overall as a unit.

We've been pretty ponderous going forward. To man touches, to many square passes, poor movement and just too much time to think, making it easier for the oppo to close us down.

Hivs, who weren't great by any stretch, broke forward much faster as a rule with one, two touch passing, when our players are taking four and five touches then a square pass. We have witnessed this in a previous life and I don't know why the fuck it's happening. Just up the fucking tempo and get into space, forward!

 

[Prso's headband 35,456]

I also think Gerrard carries the can with this. It’s clear as day Kents at his best running at players on the wings, the 4 times he was allowed to do that he beat his man everytime and got a cross into the box. 
 

Tactically making him come inside, he beats 4 men and would have another 4 to beat just to get a sight at goal. 
 

The problem is his teammates, Aribo and Barisic need to create some sort of space to drag 1-2 players inside with them allowing Kent to go 1on1 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

Going far too deep to get the ball. Needs to get back to doing what he does well and stop trying to carry the team on his own. Gerrard needs to have a word with him.
