He sprinted out to back up Tav at RB position, not a jog to occupy space but busting a gut to make sure that the guy couldn't get past Tav.
Nothing new in that you'll say, under Gerrard our attackers have always worked hard and done their bit defensively which is true but this was the first time this season that I can remember any of our players having to do any 'uncontrolled' running. The way Kent was running if the player managed to get past him he was out of the game (similar to Aberdeen boy Kent megged for his goal).
Not a good thing but the fact that it stuck out for me shows how controlled we've been this season, the system we play means that players don't get dragged out of position so others don't have to bust a gut the way Kent did at the end of last night. It's amazing actually that we've had such a great start to the season and there's no player you could say, him, he's the star man. Actually after games I often think we have more gears to go up and everyone was around a 7 with maybe a couple giving 8/9 performances which is ridiculously unfair on the players.
We work very hard to make the game look easy.
I not one for saying 'we were playing Alloa a few years ago' and to lose 2 goal lead twice is a kick in the baws but given what the players have done so far I can't criticse them at all.
*** I'm sure it's not the first time one of our players have had to sprint like that but felt like it to me watching.
