Pedestrianism? Bambi on ice? It certainly wasnt goals and the others would protect the defence as much. He wasnt awful i will give him that but loans remain largely a waste. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 3,674 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Loans are fine if there’s a buy option at the end of the loan at a pre-agreed price. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisabeer 409 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 year after year we continually overlook our own youth players bringing in mediocrity in their place. our own players could have done as much as Kent coulibaly and co, and it would have cost us any money either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsonic5791 408 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I can just picture Stevie's face when Ovie told him that he wanted to go back down the road. I'll bet that he was fuming inside. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm not convinced this is what happened. Gerrard clearly wasn't happy with Ejaria on a few occasions recently so I wonder if this is the manager coming up with a more publicly acceptable reason for him going. Afterall, Liverpool wouldn't want their player being chastised in public. This way it just looks like he couldn't settle and preserves his value. I don't buy that though. Usually if something doesn't make sense, it's not true. The boy had a one year loan deal. He could even have just stayed until the January window to avoid any issue, so to leave just before some major games and just two weeks before the end of the year is more than a little suspicious. This is where we needed Miller in the dressing room so that we could read the real story in the Record. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Kent is the one (current loan) that so far bucks the trend but a judgement on his season still has a way to go. I don't like the idea that loan players from certain clubs need to get X% of minutes and more importantly, I doubt some of our own players like it either. 23 games with 3 goals and 1 assist is hardly bucking the trend. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the midfield against Hibs? 3 players whose natural instinct is to be a sitting midfielder. We've got loads of players to protect the defence. What we don't have right now are midfielders who want to play further forward in the midfield V formation that Gerrard favours and it's impacting our whole play. Yes, there were flaws to his game but he offered something different which we're sadly lacking at the moment. The fact that he was a loan deal is an irrelevance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent was one of our best players today. Seems he made a fool of you too... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He offered no more going forward than jack or mccrorie if you ask me. The stats pretty much back that up. We do have to many defensive mids he was just another one. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
