Good spot - it was the chance on 26 seconds into the video. That was his best chance. Why didn't he run towards the keeper!! It was a decent chance

I know it's a highlights reel which can be deceiving but he did show good touches and he protected the ball well.

Good video, what it shows is how deep he's dropping at times to get into the game, playing more as a 10 than a striker. I think when you see that he's not scoring goals you worry that he's being completely ineffective at senior level, but actually he looks very tidy and constructive in possession. Hopefully he keeps plugging away like that and the goals will eventually come.

Last two games he has been deployed behind the striker and has played well enough.
If he grew into that role, could he be considered as the forward of our midfield 3 with, say, Cullen and Knight in behind? Or is that nonsense? |

No I agree. I think he could end up playing as a 10. You would want to pair him up with two workhorses in midfield but Cullen, Molumby and Knight fit that profile. Maybe McCarthy might still have the legs to do it also.

Not completely outlandish. Kenny ideally wants to play a number 10, but has no interest in a number 10 flutin about and only coming alive when he's on the ball. Troy puts in a shift, which would help his cause. Jeff had a couple goes at the number 10 role, and while he does a job off the ball and will get back into the mix in midfield, his down fall is receiving the the ball in the final third, and unfortunately is clueless in this regards. Troy definitely has the opportunity to make the spot his, or create a spot for himself. Someone in behind the front man who has technical ability but also isn't a lazy sh!t will be in with a shout in a Kenny team.

Yeah, I see Troy as a very creative player and not just a finisher. Anybody seeing him for the first time this season would be forgiven not thinking he's not a striker at all...

Yeah, it’s highlights rather than all touch, but those are some good touches and he looks comfortable making things happen in the #10 role. His big chance there at 26 seconds. Shoukd have hit it early

There were a few bad touches too in the game believe me, also a few in the first half where he gets muscled off the ball (not easily mind)
The point made the he goes deep to get the ball is spot on. Did that a lot. I would say he has a few good touches in the first half and missed his chance (as seen in the video) but he was ok in that half. Second half was better, was impressed with him wanting the ball and he saw a lot of it. Mostly simple pass here and there but always available. Went on a few runs too. Covered a lot of ground. I think he can play well for ipswich and not score many goals. He's had a few half chances in other games for ipswich but only the one chance yesterday. |

Definitely agree on Parrott as a potential ten. When I first saw him play underage for Ireland that's the position I thought he played. He's tidy, calm on the ball and get out of tight spaces but is not blessed with pace. In an ideal world if all of our potential forward options came good having Parrott behind someone like Idah would be great. But right now you'd nearly take any one of them being good enough.

He looks technically very good in those highlights. But as someone else mentioned, we're only seeing the (relatively) positive aspects of his play.
As for the chance, I don't know why he tries to control it with the outside of his weaker foot, it ends up taking him away from the goal. In that video, a lot of the time he receives the ball, there's very little movement ahead of him, and not many of his own players supporting him. Not much of a surprise that he has no assists or goals if those highlights are reflective of Ipswich's style of play.

I'm just pleasantly surprised Parrott can control and pass a football, having read the various posts on him over the last few weeks.

A fairly honest assessment of where Parrott will find himself in the pecking order when he returns to Tottenham for pre season.
