Yeah, I think people are greatly over-estimating Kaneki's strength.

He's been a half-Ghoul for less than 4 years. She's been one her entire life, so she has both superior life experience and a greater reserve of RC cells. We also know that she's another Great Genius, so that doesn't help Kaneki.

She's stronger than her father, and established as the strongest Ghoul. Eto is capable of numerous feats that are either super-rare (detachment) or unseen (implantation). Her kagune is at least partially sentient. She is simply in an entirely different class, even when we disregard that she's a Major Antagonist and therefore unlikely to be defeated this early in the story.

Plus, he's currently badly injured with a missing arm and skull fracture. He mentions he can taste his brains, so obviously that's a major injury.
