His first goal and fourth assist of the season. Simply has to push on from here. A high performing Ryan Kent is one of the key components to bring us what we as a support deserve. The title.
Thats some pick out that mate.
Of course we can, he has to offer a lot more imo his passing and decision making at times was woeful.Assist and a goal today so can’t ask for better
Stay off the dragon soupJust knew this would be a thread after that. He was absolutely shocking today, looked totally disinterested and lazy. Decent assist, and a goal when the game is already done against 10 men.
Ryan Kent is not suddenly a good player. I'd be delighted if he goes on a run of form from here but he won't. His overall performance was really poor.
i was agreeing with this till the confidence partOf course we can, he has to offer a lot more imo his passing and decision making at times was woeful.
Hopefully his goal will give him confidence as he is too much of a passenger of late.
Done not bad for the 1st Goal.He's poor. One goal in injury time at 3 0 for me doesn't mask his ineffectualness. Sakala created more in the short time he was on. Matondo created more. For his ability he should be doing more imo.
Clearly he's going to go on a run of form from here then after that brilliant performance he's just put in. I mean, if you look at the evidence based on his time here that's exactly what's about to happen eh?Stay off the dragon soup
but but 'confidence'Clearly he's going to go on a run of form from here then after that brilliant performance he's just put in. I mean, if you look at the evidence based on his time here that's exactly what's about to happen eh?
Aye the confidence will be oozing out of him as he runs into defenders time and time again all over the country from here on in.but but 'confidence'
This, even when nothing went right, he was the hardest grafter in the side.I still find it slightly worrying that doesn’t appear to be working particularly hard at times. Previously if he had a shit game he’d still work his bollocks off, I’m not sure that’s the case now.
I’d love that goal to be some sort of turning point, but we’ve done this routine several times before with Kent so I certainly have reservations.
Have a word fs, people have been slating his numbers and he gets an assist and a goal today and still got people like you on his back. Why not say thats more like it and have a positive attitude, we won 4-0 top of the league for a while, have a day off ffs100%. A player that shows flashes of talent. Proven over his almost 5 years here that he is not good enough. He wasn't even good today, if you think he was I don't know what you were watching.
He's not scored since December last year. Absolutely embarrassing the folk on here all of a sudden back in his corner after an assist and a goal by the time the game was over and the hearts players are mentally back in the dressing room.
Barely managed to get by his man today and looks absolutely disinterested for most of the game.
Not good enough for the SPL! No chance mate, thats just wrong. He will be back, I’ve no doubt.100%. A player that shows flashes of talent. Proven over his almost 5 years here that he is not good enough. He wasn't even good today, if you think he was I don't know what you were watching.

Check out jottas and abadas numbers. If your accepting our key guy to be less than theirs then your frame of acceptance is hugely skewedAssist and a goal today so can’t ask for better
Nah I completely get that, and it is good he got a goal and an assist today. But his overall performance is still way below par and has been for the best part of a year. My issue is with the people coming on here praising him for what was still an obviously poor performance. Reserve it until he actually puts in a string of performances and makes a habit of getting on the score sheet and chipping in with assists.Have a word fs, people have been slating his numbers and he gets an assist and a goal today and still got people like you on his back.

He would be the first to admit hes not been playing well, lets hope he can take confidence and kick on from hereNah I completely get that, and it is good he got a goal and an assist today.

Fine to praise him in isolation for his assist today. It was a good cross. The goal fair enough, well taken but at the point where the game is done and dusted and the hearts players have checked out. But if you want to ignore the fact that his overall performance was pretty poor, in keeping with how he's been playing for a long time, then I'm going to call out the praise for him that is completely not warranted.
Just admit it, you want him out.He was abysmal for the majority of the game , 5 minutes in I thought maybe he would have a game , set up with good cross. Then as usual poor all game until the end .
Put 10 on Morelos when he came on at 3/1 so in my head was playing with bookies money. Withdrew 200 now though so don't fritter away.Thats some pick out that mate.
Well done, some bet. Full marks for seeing out the last minute and not cashing in
Well people have been saying his numbers have been shit, we come back from international break sets up an early goal scores a late 1, im not shutting down anything just pointing outyou come onto a football discussion board to shut down discussion of a football match
i might start a drinking game tonight, any thread about kent with a post using the word 'confidence' = drink. I'll be rat arsed in 15minsHe would be the first to admit hes not been playing well, lets hope he can take confidence and kick on from here

Away to yer bed pal
100% agree with this. He’s looked short in confidence so hopefully today helps. Great assist and goal. Nice to see him smiling againI defiantly don’t subscribe to the theory that he has lost interest, can’t be arsed etc….. that’s not Ryan Kent. I honestly think the manager is trying to let him play through this and get back to form, hopefullyhat assist and goal is a step forward for him.
He is going anyways, he's been poor for years and out of contract in the summer.Just admit it, you want him out.
Hope you are eating humble pie major style for the next 6/7 weeks.
i was agreeing with this till the confidence part
Mate your coming across gutted.you come onto a football discussion board to shut down discussion of a football match
If he was having spells of good, the odd poor, good etc then i'd say he's lacking confidence in the poor spells but he's consistently poor where games like dortmund & goals like today are the exception. The stats in this instance dont lie, he hasnt been offering anywhere near enough for a long time.Mate your coming across gutted.
Every winger in the world strives on confidence why is Ryan Kent any different?
Ok hopefully this is the turning point then setting up the first on a plate abd scoring a belterIf he was having spells of good, the odd poor, good etc then i'd say he's lacking confidence in this poor spells but he's consistently poor where games like dortmund & goals like today are the exception. The stats in this instance dont lie, he hasnt been offering anywhere near enough for a long time.
I reckon he’ll be up for it against Liverpool,a lot to prove.That's what we all love to see him doing. Hopefully he has more confidence to have a pop at goal going forward. Cracking cross for Colaks goal as well!
Sakala is 12 & 8 last year with intermittant appearances. Not dissimilar record but one gets slated weekly one gets a free pass.3 goals, 20 assists last season. 1 goal, 4 assists this season.
Can’t really grumble.
Yeah I can see him having a blinder. I hope!I reckon he’ll be up for it against Liverpool,a lot to prove.
Super staunch mateCheck out jottas and abadas numbers. If your accepting our key guy to be less than theirs then your frame of acceptance is hugely skewed
Hard to argue with that. Ive said for ages sakalas numbers are similar to his, but sakala gets slated kent is living off step overs v Dortmund. Abada and jotta are probably similar levels of ability but contribute way, way more to the scum. He needs to be told he needs to earn his place and compete for it. Hes got comfy.
Years. Seriously, struggling to get to his best but for me I hope he signs his contract and the haters move on to there next target.He is going anyways, he's been poor for years and out of contract in the summer.
10 minute cameos in 90 minute games isn't going to paper over the cracks of years of inconsistent poor play.
Do younk think 3 is a bigger number than 10? Being staunch is nothing to do with it. And that attitude doesnt win trophys we need to be the same levels at a minimum.Super staunch mate
Spot on mate he should have scored another 7 he’s shiteDo younk think 3 is a bigger number than 10? Being staunch is nothing to do with it. And that attitude doesnt win trophys we need to be the same levels at a minimum.
You can clearly handle your drink better than me. I did it and couldn't read the screen after 6 minutes!i might start a drinking game tonight, any thread about kent with a post using the word 'confidence' = drink. I'll be rat arsed in 15mins
Of course we can and we should.Assist and a goal today so can’t ask for better
First goal since December is a horrible stat no matter what way people dress it upOf course we can and we should.
He's poor. One goal in injury time at 3 0 for me doesn't mask his ineffectualness. Sakala created more in the short time he was on. Matondo created more. For his ability he should be doing more imo.
