I'll take "he's not ready" over "he's not a center forward" every day and twice on Sunday
I can excuse throwing him in v Chelsea, but it's time to get him involved from the Wolves game. Can't offer any less than Lucas, who tries his socks off but isn't a striker.
has To be a real confidence breaker to be over looked in the midst of an injury crisis, especially after you’ve just signed anew contract!
its a joke tbh
especially(nothing against skipp) but seeing Skipp on the bench ahead of Parrott and Sessegnon, wtf is the plan with those 2
I remember the calls for him to play against Colchester.
That ended well.
many played that game who were equally average and theyve appeared many times since

I saw this on wiki and I think that he is shorter.
Is he still growing?

Thing is you’ve got no other strikers, if you lost all you’re first team keepers to injury would you go and use a keeper from the under 23’s or player a centre back there?
look at Greenwood and williams at utd... wouldnt have been given a sniff had jose still been at the club.
for all his faults ole has shown faith in both of these guys and both are showing its is justified
I have a feeling there is something wrong with Troy behind the scenes. He is not injured and is not training with the first team. Maybe he has gone off the rails since he signed a new contract? There are bene a few rumours too.
The hype around this kid by Spurs fans prior to him making his debut was way over the top. He is not even in Greenwood's class at Utd and Greenwood is younger.
Our bench last night was 2x CBs 2x DMs 1x CM 1x AM
Surely there’s room for a young striker to be on it.
Greenwood done okay for united & Martinelli done well for arsenal all the same age as Parrott.
Mourinho is well known for not giving younger players a chance.
Mate sent me this. Not sure how much truth there is in it...

How do people still read this bloke
It’s not his sources close to the club it’s in the well known media.
Troy is from the same dodgy part of Dublin that these guys are from and obviously knows them growing up.
His mate can’t really be held accountable for what his family get up to and there’s nothing to suggest he does the same.

This is such a shiiite argument
The alternative back then was playing one of the best strikers in the world. Now the alternative is playing no striker at all.
But hey let's not give him any minutes at all for the rest of the season, even though he is our only striker, because of one fairly meh performance

The reason kids Parrott's age "aren't ready" is because they're not fully physically developed yet. You often get quick young players but you rarely get strong young players.
Now think about what Mourinho demands from his #9. Basically he wants a brute up top who can win aerial duels and engage in a physical battle.
I'm pretty sure that's why he's saying Parrott isn't ready - he's nowhere near ready to play as a lone striker in a Mourinho system where strength is valued over mobility and finishing ability. My understanding of Parrott is that he's pretty quick and a good finisher, but he's no target man.
Then again, nor is Lucas, so who knows.
