Thought I’d stumbled in to the Mctominay performance thread for a second…
A shocking player who continuously starts for the biggest club in the world. Going to naturally bring more attention.
Sure but this is the RoI thread right? And there’s a game on
Yes a game where McTominay is playing incredibly poorly against very bad opposition. He is naturally going to get comments innit bruv?
Not in this thread? be more interesting to talk about Ireland surely
Everyone was also talking about Ireland. Feck off policing the thread
I’ll give my thoughts whenever I see fit thanks very much.
I was making a police joke. Maybe I should have used italics
You were the one who derailed the thread, bizarrely taking exception to United fans commenting on the performance of the only United player playing in a game they were watching.
I didn’t detail anything thank you very much
I think he lacks the intensity at the moment to play near the top of the PL. He has the tecnichal ability to have a good career. He may fare better at a team where if he drops off the boil a wee bit they'll stick with him.
I’m not sure about Parrott yet. He has lots of qualities, but he seems to let a lot of games pass him by. My worry would be that some of that potential that was undoubtedly there may have been lost in the tumult of the last few years. As someone on maybe Second Captains observed around the time he was getting a lot of praise for the performances for MK Dons, the last thing we needed was another hard working wide player who doesn’t score goals. I could see him being one who ends up moving on without much fanfare and hanging around the second and third tiers without ever making that much of an impact, a la Maguire.
100%, that's why even if he was playing at a Championship side, he'd be useful in our set up.
I think when we get more confident playing from defence we will create. We looked very shaky doing that in the last 3 games, even tonight. Nobody is making runs in case we lose it.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m talking from the perspective of him making at Spurs or similar. Unless we have some really good players come through he’ll get 60 or 70 caps handily enough. Even with some flaws, with his technique and a bit of work rate, he’ll usually be picked.
Agree with that also. It’s sort of what worries me about Parrott. He doesn’t seem to be able to get himself close enough to goal when it matters often enough. He seems to often need to work off players rather than driving it himself.
Apparently we tried to sign him when he was still at Stoke. I think we should try again. The sky’s the limit for him. I’d say him and the two keepers (especially Bazunu) are the biggest talents playing for the Irish senior team now.
Ye good shout. Seems to have all the attributes. Quick, calm on the ball and strong in the tackle. Still only 21 also. Wouldnt cost too much from Burnley after their relegation I'd imagine
Kildare have their keeper to blame
No because we have Souness the rest of the time.
I remember seeing him for Spurs in a pre-season game and he looked like the kind of striker the Italians always have where he knew how to shape his body to be dangerous with his back to goal. Very canny for a teenager.
I don't think anyone is writing him off, just trying to assess him.. Everyone is in agreement about his talent, just trying to guess his trajectory.
Brilliant goal!
