graeme_4 34,615 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hamstrings can go all the time. Could have gone in the warm up, during the game or having come on for the last 5 minutes. Can’t put that on Gerrard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line is that Kent was fit, just lacked match sharpness. If folk are saying he wasnt fit enough to start, then he surely he shouldn't have been on the bench as a sub could be required to come on early in the game. Scenes though if Gerrard hadn't named him in squad. Or if we were one nil down and Gerrard brought Kent on as sub on 50th minute, would he still be to blame if Kent pulled his hammy 40 mins later? Or a genius if Kent played a part in the win? How many games did Barker play before yesterday, how was his preseason? Barker played a key part in our win, he was as much an injury risk as Kent, yet no criticism of Gerrard playing him for 50 minutes... To blame Gerrard playing Kent from the start as the reason he pulled his hammy is simply playing to an anti SG narrative. Some of his decisions lately have baffled me but people criticising him for this are having a laugh, said in the presser after the game the plan was always Kent 60 minutes then Barker 30 minutes, you can't take into account a hamstring injury that could happen at anytime.

My team yesterday had Defoe and Kent on the bench and the other bonus would have been the lift that the player and the crowd would have got when he came on. To be fair, had Jones or Murphy been ready, he might not have started but I still think it was a mistake. A player who has very little match time should be eased back in, especially with six European games added to the schedule. Done now, all we can do is hope that Barker has something about him that we haven’t seen yet. Certainly took his goal well enough. Amazing to think we were complaining about too many wingers with Jones, Murphy, Middleton, Grezda, Hastie, Ojo and that was before Kent and Barker arrived. Now it’s all on Ojo and Barker. God help us. Quite optimistic for Barker even though its only 1 game, just can't take to Ojo but looks like he can't be arsed half the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siamthedanger 2,855 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I, like a few others were happy Kent started. The injury is just rotten luck tbh. Hopefully won't be out too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We keep on playing as badly as this in the league and its only a matter of time till we drop more points......... Football games last 90 minutes. Game was won after Barker's goal. Hardly got out of jail But yes, starting Kent was the wrong call IMO. As was not giving Helander a run out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,911 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Kent went on Liverpool's pre-season to the States where he played in 3 games. He has hardly been out for months! He was fit and ready. Gerrard said post match the plan was to give him 60min and Barker 30min. If he switched it round to the last 30, it could still have happened. Injuries happen.

Spot on m8 I'm astonished at the amount of people who think pulling his hamstring is down to lack of game time, the truth is kent is a speed merchant which always puts hamstrings at strain when the muscle is contracting....Michael Owen being a perfect example 👍 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger, as an amateur, I went through about a two year stretch with a niggling hamstring. They are a bastard to heal. Nowadays they use ultrasound treatment to speed up the process.

All Rangers fans I know were delighted he started, these injuries happen at any time in a game. But we obviously have some fans who need to be wise after the event, Kent trained for nearly two weeks and obviously done all that was asked, hence he was picked to play. Some are challenging every decision Gerrard makes and blowing it out of proportion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBOO72 4,375 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Pretty much rules him out of this entire block of games up to the next international break.

I probably wouldn't even risk him now until after the next break, would rather he just take's the 6 weeks to get it healed properly rather than potentially rushing him back.
