Guys

Some of us think Ridvan will probably take over from Borna as first choice.

Does anything think any of the new guys might end up taking Kent's place if his stats and performances don't pick up from last season?
he seems very one dimensional for me at the minute and you can almost see what he's goi g to do before he does he's very predictable or is that just me?

is it his confidence is lacking (although I'm not sure why it would be)
I'm genuinely worried about Ryan kent something is just not dropping into place he's never hit the height for me since when he was a loanee
and I never thought I'd say this but Wright looks to have more swagger grit and determination than kent right now and is looking a much more assured player so far this pre season
Taking folk on having shots etc and his runs look menacing for opposition defence

Kent on the other hand runs up - and we pass back. Boring stuff from kent

I honestly think in this moment in time he could sit on the bench with one of he new guys taking his place and we wouldn't miss him infact we might be more lethal going forward
Just my opinion at this very minute and I hope he can change it
As I know he does have the talent but not sure if his head is there or confidence is low for some reason unknown to us all?

What's your honest opinions guys on all of the above
Confidence
Stats
Runs
Passes
Attacking threat
Shots on goal et etc?

Agree0 Disagree0

u having a laugh stig he got motm against West ham so many folk on here are very critical and half probably couldn't play Sunday league level but still try bring players down. cause he never shone against spurs u want him dropped have a word with yourself.

24 Jul 2022 10:23:32
On all of your below stig, the season hasnae started yet and tho the friendlies performances are looking good for most of our players, we won't get a better idea how wee are shaping up till Saturday.

Just my humble opinion on the little I know about football technicalities.

Cheers tho.

24 Jul 2022 10:34:25
I don't think we have anyone else anywhere near the quality of Kent.

The big plus this year is that we have more options up top and out wide, so we'll be able to take the pressure off Kent. and rest him when / if he has any niggles.

MATONDO

I’m not talking about 2 friendlies
I’m talking about his stats from last year over a full season? our right back captain Tav stats blows kent out the water and he’s a right back?
Kent is apart of our attack and his stats have not been up to scratch unfortunately
A man of the match in a friendly against West Ham that most folk on here deem not to be a true reflection on the season ahead would mean nothing
Im asking whether one of the new guys could take his place if his stats and performances based on last year don’t start picking up
Goal ration and assists and his negative pas backs after runs g up the wing need to improve unfortunately we’re moving forward kent needs to keep up.

I had that word with myself and came up with the same answer unfortunately ? sorry ?.

24 Jul 2022 10:44:49
I totally agree and have done ever since we signed him. Yes, he has a bit of ability, but his actual match effectiveness is extremely low for an attacking player.

His passing/ crossing is extremely poor, and his shooting ability is worse.

Yes, he can take the ball and skin a few men, but then expectedly tries to take the same men again (when there is a pass/ cross on) and gets the ball taken off him. Or when a shot is on, before he tees up to strike it, we generally know it's going over the bar.

How does he improve? He needs to form a partnership with the LB, currently there is NO partnership. He rarely uses Borna on the overlap (which he offers loads) and he isn't making the right runs for Borna to use him in return. Currently the 2 of them are not working as a team.

Laudrup would not have been as effective if it wasn't for Robertson linking up and making him space and vice versa.

He also needs to release the ball more often and earlier. Use the fact that he is marked by 2 men to our advantage.

I could go on and on - but generally speaking, he has ability, but I don't think he impacts matches the way he should. Look at Aribo - He was a utility player, getting moved around the pitch to plug gaps and even then was able to impact matches a lot more than Kent. A player that plays every week in the same position.

Will he ever get better? I would doubt he can change now. If the previous coaching staff were unable to coach these elements of his game, I would doubt the current staff can, and maybe that's on the player himself.

ZIKOS

I’m not going to lie mate . what a reply honestly best reply to a question I’ve seen on here in Along time excellent analysis of the player Broke it right down.
Thank you ?
Your Much better explaining what I was trying To get out than I was ?
absolute brilliant response.
And obviously agree 100%
great response ?.

24 Jul 2022 10:58:09
EHl

Yes I agree with have much more attacking options this year and totally looking forward to seeing them all coming into the fold and how Gio utilises them all
Exciting season ahead mate.

24 Jul 2022 11:00:33
Stig, I enjoy reading your posts but really don’t understand where this is coming from. Wright looks better than Kent at the moment? Not in a million years, I hope under Gio Wright improves but at the moment he is nowhere near Kent.
He was phenomenal in Europa League run, he is the one all managers are trying to stop because he is the bright spark. Adding Matondo for me will reduce the burden on him as we finally have what looks to be an equally talented RW. That alone I believe will help him because for years he is the only player who takes players on one on one.
I would like to see the wingers switch wings during games, Gio has done this a few times and we now have the players to do that.

Goals are his problem, he desperately needs a goal. I hope the goal against WH will help him.

I cannot wait to see Kent, Morelos and Matondo together. They are going to destroy teams. Would really like Kent and Morelos to extend their deals.

24 Jul 2022 11:01:39
A very good player, but with his pace and skill he does frustrate me at times, I'm getting on a bit now and I remember wingers flying down the outside of defenders and getting a cross in, or being despatched to row z by the full back! Defenders can't do those tackles nowadays which makes it even more frustrating when wide players stop and cut back!

24 Jul 2022 11:02:02
Zikos now you know why Barasic is left high and dry up the field and out of position. In the West Ham game I was thinking Kent and Barasic were back in unison with Kent using Barasic. When the full back goes up the wing he has to be given the ball, if not, and the opposition get the ball, the full back looks stupid.

24 Jul 2022 11:07:50
No player should be guaranteed a place in the side.

24 Jul 2022 11:14:47
Kenty won't lose his place to any new faces that are here or come in

Kenty is like a switch yes turn it on as quickly as turns it off on displays

Kenty will be top dog this year in a gers top his goal v west ham his display v west ham an spurs will put him in good stead

Get your money on him to score 1st goal off the season.

24 Jul 2022 11:16:52
Cooper 11

Good response and take it on board mate
But as Scotty-dog says he’s frustrating me at times with his cut backs and as Zickos has explained it very well
he needs to start getting in about goals and assists and getting good balls into the attacking. Areas
And as you say Cooper with matondo and Morelos back and Lawrence and Tillman all added into the mix I do believe like you we will destroy teams this year. and I very much look forward to the season starting mate.

24 Jul 2022 11:20:28
Wright is no were near Kent hahahaha embarrassing view Kent was ripping Tottenham apart at times lol Wright isn’t a rangers player he will be away by next season if he doesn’t improve.

24 Jul 2022 11:46:02
Iv backed Kent from day 1 but if his play doesn't improve I'd have him on the bench. Matondo has to be a first pick and alawrence can play on the left as can Wright.

24 Jul 2022 11:54:04
Kent got 20 assists last season only stats he needs to improve is goals.

24 Jul 2022 11:58:18
Bassey1

I agree, in fact i still don't know why we bought Wright in the first place.

24 Jul 2022 12:10:58
We have much better balance in the side now and Kent won’t be overly relied on to be the player to change games, he is sometimes guilty of over playing and taking too many touches but what he gives our team far outweighs any negative. Watch Kent stats and consistency improve with a new LB behind him, a 10 who likes to link and an opposite RW with directness and pace to burn.

24 Jul 2022 12:22:41
Few comments about Kent turning back and not crossing the ball as often as we want.

I agree that this is frustrating, but it's also how he's been coached to play.

Ball retention is king in the modern game.

24 Jul 2022 12:54:55
If Kent added 10 or more goals to his game a season we would think was unstoppable. sometimes he does look a bit one way ay times but we're all liek that at work.

24 Jul 2022 13:30:41
Think Kent will be big this year but competition for places is a good thing. If he's benched for someone better great bit atm he's the best player in our team. He won't have a 10 out of 10 every game and hopefully the way teams mark him will leave space else where. My concern is our left cb position more than anything. We could ship a few if it's not sorted.

24 Jul 2022 14:32:36
Kent is frustrating as he does lose the ball a hell of a lot but not letting go of it quicker he was great in europa league run but poor in the league he can and hopefully will get better this season with his family life being more settled but don’t think any players signed could take his place.

24 Jul 2022 15:04:26
Matondo, Lawrence and Tav, all very quick to make that forward pass into the box.
Kent more likely to either 1 turn back, 2 cut inside and lose it or 3 get crowded out after beating the full back twice.
He can be better than that.

24 Jul 2022 16:18:48
Guys thank you for all the responses especially on a Sunday ?
been a great debate and some great points and views put across and I think we all agree kent has the ability and will be better with a bit of the pressure off him this. Season with all the new signings bring class and strength to our squad
Can’t wait until we kick off and we continue to pass on our thoughts and opinions on all things Rangers

Have a great Sunday guys ??.

24 Jul 2022 16:50:32
Did you miss his goal against West Ham?

24 Jul 2022 17:05:28
No not at all Mols good solid goal ?
Just basing it on goals etc from last season
fingers crossed he can bring his A game this year pal ??.

24 Jul 2022 17:14:26
Stig, you have a point there. He seems to get bundled off the ball to easily ends up on the ground then demands a foul.
