Awful last week- scored a goal. looks like he could be arsed today = get the ball, pass it sideways and hope that they can do something. I get what u mean about today but I'll be honest sometimes we asking him to do the impossible. Beat 3/4men and make something happen. Playing him in a central position makes it easy to mark him. He should be out wide like he started at Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, he struggles in every game against the Aberdeens and Kilmarnocks of the league. Hibs and Tarriers apart, he’s been a massive letdown since returning.

ger4life_1872 29,528 Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 What summed Kent's form up just now ( and most of the squad tbf ) was on wed night he got the ball about 30 yards out on the wing after a corner and instead of trying to create something he played a 5 yard square pass to goldson and left it up too him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,534 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Kent has always been inconsistent. He's always had clutches of games where he's had plenty of the ball and delivered little final product. It's not a new thing. It's clearly what he is as a player. It's why I was surprised we saw him as a 7 million player. I guess we were hoping he'd become more regularly productive as he matured. Not showing any signs of that happening.

kelvd1873 7,162 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He was only £7 million because we bought a youth player in the EPL! His real value would only be about 2.5 to 3 million for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatcap 489 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I get why people look to what the 'big name' players don't do or haven't done when things go wrong but i reckon it's more what the 'average' players contribute that often make the difference between winning and losing. Kent was far from our worst player yesterday and actually started a few very fast breaks that unfortunately eventuated as missed opportunities. His part in moving the team forward though was obvious. Looking at yesterdays starting line-up: Shagger was superb. Had nothing to do in midweek and for large parts of yesterday but when called upon, magnificent. Polster, an average player but not in a million years a top flight Rangers player. When we were climbing back up through the leagues, he would have been a reliable squad member Goldson, composed and dependable, good game Katic, fucking cart horse apart from his heading ability. He's marginally better than Worrall was. Edmundson must start Weds Barisic, suffering a form drop since the break. Every free kick is the same, no variety at all and his crosses have dried up Arfield, lots of endeavour and never stops trying but with those around him off form, he's struggling a bit. Thought it unfair to pull him off yesterday. Davis, pish again. Resorts to that looping long ball every time he finds space and it invariably fails Kamara, pish again. Waits far too long on the ball when in possession and no longer winning the ball back when out of possession Aribo, none of those rare skilful mazy runs that when he's on form make you think he could be a Rangers player Morelos, wasted several good positions yesterday that a Morelos in form would have done better with. I's easy to argue that we shouldn't expect too much on his first game back but that's HIS fucking fault Kent, too many first touch lay offs that look like he's simply racking up his stats for completed passes. Showed glimpses but in a team in form, we'd hardly notice he isn't firing on all cylinders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not doing anything more or less than he did last season. I wasn't for spending 7 million on him at all because I felt there were likely a player out there for the same money who was already the finished article.

TMB 14,167 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He’s worth every penny of that £7m. He won us the 3pts away to Hamilton. His goal against celtic at Parkhead was superb (and if we didn’t win that day the title race really would be over). Against Hearts he scored a fantastic individual goal running the ball the length of the park, passed it to Barisic, then got in to the box to receive it and score the goal. Barisic and Kent on the left is better than anything else in the country. The problem is we have no creativity through the middle or on the right from Aribo. Kent and Morelos are the two best attackers we have. Without them we would be completely fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. i said at time you’d take him back on loan or pay 3 million. never worth 7 million to us. never a number 10 either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vision 16,729 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 He is at least is weighing in with some goals, Aribo on the other hand (who is potentially a 6M player) never seems to get tagged by his transfer fee offers very little imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK92GERS 807 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Kent will come good it’s clear his position change has stifled him there’s to many bodies in front of him when playing the N.10 role he’s more suited at running into space or cutting inside but don’t forget this season he’s scored big goals in big games let’s no forget that just thinking as well maybe the reason Barasic has been so good is he’s had tha left side all to his own so the question is do you sacrifice Barasic’s recent form to appease Kent’s as that will surely effect the way he plays his game at the minute ?
