BlueSuedeSambas 54,488 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just seen that team mates video that Scott Arfield did for BT (not sure when it was from) and his descriptions of these two was perfect. Ejaria - street footballer Kent - wants to be Ronaldo I think, like most youth team loans from the EPL, they lack the maturity and experience to be big players for us, but they will prove to be useful additions to the squad over the course of the season.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Really like Ejaria tbh - he has flair but he needs to be receiving the ball in the final 3rd not on the halfway line and it's up to his team-mates to get the ball to him in that part of the pitch where he can really hurt teams graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,622 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Both came on in a real game against Aberdeen and looked very poor and offered nothing maybe that was because of the late introduction and couldn't get to the pace of the game but neither impressed me.

The Ejaria substitution was ridiculous. I understand why he was going to make it because Aberdeen were starting to press higher up the park and leave gaps so think the thinking was he could help us nick a second on the counter attack, but as soon as Jack got injured and it was him who had to be withdrawn (I think it would have been Windass before then) then it should have been McCrorie who came on in a like for like swap.

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I quite like Ejaria and I think there'll be certain games he's really useful and others he's not suited for. Sunday was probably the latter. Ivybank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueThunder 8,454 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Ejaria was through for our second if only Coulibaly’s ball had been weighted better. I agree about putting Ross on instead of him though. Ivybank 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Not overly fussed/impressed with either. Both show glimpses that are quite good but I don't think they are solid players you can depend on. Squad options they are ok. But we need a bit more quality and consistency than them IMO. Based on early glimpses, given. I also think that they are 2 players that if we play well and win, then they look shit-hot and people think more of them that what they possibly provide and in a losing team they are the types you instantly look at and curse. You get players like that. Rightly or wrongly. McEwan's Lager 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivybank 4,636 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don't rate Kent at all, can see why fans of the last 2 teams he was with didn't really rate him, he should never have came on as sub in a game where we needed to keep the ball . He would be OK at ibrox if we are a couple of goals up Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickym29 6 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 As a liverpool fan ive watched these 2 for a while now, kent i think is all pace and not much else, he loses the ball nearly every time he tries to take on a player which i think is very frustrating, hopefully stevie can help him think and be more clever in possession, he has a few tricks up his sleeve, so far hes been ok for Rangers, but its early days so hopefully he can improve enough to play a decent part in a title winning team, but i wouldnt bring him on when keeping possesion is vital because keeping the ball is his biggest weakness imo Ejaria could be a beast he just needs to remember he isnt playing in a youth team, hes playing in the big time now and hopefully he begins to show more as the season goes on, hes a unit, hes pretty skillfull and has quick feet, needs to improve his decision making, but he always wants to be on the ball which is good as it shows hes confident, just needs to do smarter things when on it, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Deacon 55,727 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Better performance from both lads tonight. Still got work to do but it's encouraging Sparkle 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 31,285 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I thought that was Ejaria's best performance to date. Not brilliant but decent. I'm still not sold in Kent other than his work ethic. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,935 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thought Ejaria wasn’t good tbh. Felt like every time he got the ball he was going to give it away. Not saying he’s a bad player but he gave me the fear tonight. Still got stuck in about it right enough which is what you want if the game isn’t going for you Supersonic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,504 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Thought Ejaria had his best game for us so far. But I'm still not convinced by them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMB 14,167 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Kent puts a shift in defensively but seems to lack that bit of quality when in possession. I'd like to see us bring in a wide attacker who is a serious goal scoring threat before the window closes. A match winner that could take us up a level.

Mojo84 182 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Kent tries hard but has offered little so far. I think Ejaria is one of the most naturally gifted players in the squad with the ball at his feet and I really don't get some of the criticism he's getting. Sure, he makes the odd loose pass or tries too much at times but there's more moments where he's playing neat triangles, holding the ball up really well with his strength and hight or playing fast balls through. He's young and still developing but has great potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossco87 708 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think there is a player in Ejaria, but there were a couple of times tonight when he received the ball and his first instinct is to shield the ball and wait for a tackle to come in which slowed the play down / led to us loosing possession.
