Kent doesn't have much of an end product, yet! let's hope he starts producing more in the final 3rd! young Middleton has more IMO.

Much easier to come on for 15 minutes and play with some freedom than 70 having to juggle defensive responsibilities with attack.

 

Today would be a welcome game for Kent to show a bit of end product.

I did say I hope Kent starts producing more in the final 3rd, way too often he just turns inside, which is fine if he makes a killer pass or hits the target!. He needs to up his game otherwise he may find himself getting edged out with young Middleton!.

I'd like to think so but Kent seems to be a favourite of the gaffer. There's also the small matter of staying in Liverpool's good books.

 

Kent suits the pressing game well though and does offer plenty to the team, my problem is his lack of end product too. In a recent press conference he was saying he wants to have more to show for his effort in terms of goals and assists but I think that's going to be difficult as long as he insists on running towards the centre all the time. Middleton for me is much more likely to get an assist because of the way he tries to get round the outside and in behind the full backs.

Kent's persistent desire to cut in is only really a problem when he plays with Flanagan, because neither wants to cross from the byline.  If Kent plays with Barisic , who obviously has a wicked cross, it could be very effective.

I agree that would make a difference. Can't help but wonder what McKay would be like with Barisic, his partnership on the left with Wallace brought out the best in him with his passing range.
