When i clicked on the thread i was expecting him to get panned, can't honestly believe he is being compared to Cousin! Imo he was that poor i wanted Barker on for him. Hopefully he proves me wrong. That said very happy to get out of that shithole with the 3 points. Yer spot on mate he was shite as was the buff and Kent , Kent still put in a power of work though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxi 11,473 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Everything he did on the ball today was excellent. Every time he got it he was linking up well with the other players, well timed passes, nice flicks and rolls, a good cut back Kent should have done better with and good hold up play. I only remember one time he gave the ball away. Didn't have any big scoring chances except the one big one which he couldn't have done much more with. As I raised in the match thread, area to work on is aggression but that'll come. I think if he was up top today he would have been more than capable of putting away a chance or two, out wide isn't a good fit for him but I know what Gerrard was going for.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The big lad wasn't great on the rhs but neither was he last time he was played there against St Johnstone I think it was . Swapped Roofe and Itten round second half of the st johnstone game and Itten was far better second half of that game in the middle. Can only assume gaffer was worried about a Roofe injury coz imo Kent desperately needs a rest. As I said before the game I would have liked to have seen a Morelos, Itten, Roofe front three even if just for last half hour when Kent was clearly done about the hour mark.

TMB 14,167 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Itten was stuck out wide next to a short LB. Our tactics were obviously to hit long balls at Itten or hope he’d use his strength against that defender. Is it the best use of the player? I doubt it but it worked today. I don’t think we can judge Itten until he has a run of games up front in his favoured role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrast him receiving and making use of the ball in tight spots with, say, Morelos, or even Kent today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we first brought back Lafferty we used him in a similar way. I remember he was out wide against Celtic and we were punting long balls at him all day. Basically the same thing today with Itten.

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Coming along nicely tbh. Thought he had a solid game today, didn’t see any situation where he was ‘terrible’. The best out the front 3 today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron1873 510 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I wasnt overly impressed to be honest. I do think a RW is a shout for January. I think it will give us a good balance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 42,352 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 3 of them were shite today. Kent and Morelos should have no excuses. Itten can be forgiven slightly but I don't think he is ever going to be a right winger for us. Time to drop Morelos and see what this lad can do up top for a run of games. Can't be any worse than the turd performances Morelos has turned out lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer93 15,056 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The big man did fine today, looks strong on the ball and played in others when he had to, unlucky with the chance but credit to the keeper who closed the chance down immediately I would like to see him and Roofe get a start together.....Roofe looks a busy enough player to be able to feed off Itten Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafflesniffer 399 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 It was what, his second or third start? Other than that he's had a few fleeting appearances off the bench as well as a period out injured. Still adapting to a new team, new setup and new league. In that time he's shown he's got decent feet, scored a cracking goal and another good goal in the sense of positioning and reacting to the situation. He's not tearing it up but he's been decent and by fuck, folk could do with giving him some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
