Play him further forward as he has shown plenty times he has ability to create and is far too good a player to be sitting on bench. I think when Arfield is fully match fit Aribo might get dropped, especially in the run up to the scum game. When all our midfield are fit it's a hard choice, but Arfield is always worth a goal.

Clearly I'm not saying that. I'm saying the concept of dropping a player who played well, for a player who played worse, is a nonsense. If Kent was dropped before today for Hagi then fine. You wanting us dropping him for Hagi after today is pretty poor and is because you've lost any sense of objectivity about Kent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamara will play in Europe but i have the fear we shoehorn Aribo into that right forward position to accommodate him. Aye, when Arfield back he should be in midfield.

bluenoz 30,287 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I thought Hagi started the game brightly but faded in the second half despite running his guts out. We are not utilizing him properly. He is less effective playing so wide. I realize there are so many spots to go around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats clearly what you are saying though, over the last few games before today hagi was better than kent, today kent was better than hagi so according to you kent should start in front of hagi if it was a choice between them So if next week kent is poor, and hagi comes on and is better, who starts the following game out of the two of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What incentive is there to improve on form if you're then dropped for having had poor form even though you improved on it? And if you've done marginally better but then had a poor game why should you start over a guy who performed better than you in the last game?* Hagi actually contributes though. He’s won us 6 points in the past 6 months with match winning strikes.

Kent has been playing constantly, Hagi hasn't. I'd have understood if he'd been dropped before today. But to expect or want him dropped for Hagi after today is bizarre. You can't have a player trying to retain form dropped for the 1st time after showing an improvement in form, and especially not for one he outperformed in the previous game. It's pretty obvious you can't be objective towards Kent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not downplaying Hagi, he's done well and has deserved more minutes. Kent imo deserved dropped before now. My point is that Kent did well today, and given he's been picked constantly even when underperforming it's daft to now suggest he deserves dropped when he's actually put in a decent performance. And not to be dropped for Hagi who was pretty mediocre today. And the thing about stats is they also depend on others. Kent didn't get an assist today because of how shite Aribo was with his finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
