With our formation, we tend to play with what you would consider two “inside forwards” or number 10’s.
Ryan Kent just isn’t for me suitable to such a role.
For me he is a winger who should use his pace and trickery from wide, to then potentially come inside and play in that space.
However occupying that space with and without the ball, just isn’t for him. He can’t really shoot from distance, he doesn’t slip people in with a slide-rule pass and he finds it tricky to maintain his touch consistently in that crowded area often with his back to goal.
Am I alone in this (presumably) or is this being overlooked by Gerrard and Beale?
