Parrot at 16/17 has been mixing it with the u21/23’s and as we’ve seen is a little hot head like most Paddy’s , but of immense skill. I hope he follows Skipp, Amos into the first team .......Edwards like Caulker had it all and like Johnathon blondel and adel tarrabatt didn’t have the X factor . Caulker is now so far down , he’s playing for Dundee innthe SPl , how tragic , he had it all and I honestly believed he would be the next LK and Judas I rated him so highly
He is (edwards)basically,how do I say it,lazy?not following instruction,not a team player?Football is about more than just your best attribute,the dozens of times I have watched him,his desire to get goalside,track back,play simple is poor.Very exciting running at players,take the ball off him in the premier league and shit would happen.I think youre right he has something missing,and it is in his head.I have said before he is our new taraabt,too maverick and under poch,if you dont play the role you dont play.
We paid a lot of dosh for Son and Moura,both way above Edwards level ATM,Son when he first came was in and out,out quite a bit,mainly I believe because he didnt play the full role,early on. Poch went mental on the side line when Sonny didnt press a backpass to a keeper,late in the game and we were winning at the time (palace I think,and son even scored).His pressing was poor like Moura is now.It isnt the effort put in,it was his understanding and technique,the angles he closed in on,the timing.Look at Eriksen,he isnt roy keane flying in,but watch how he gets the right side,and even not trying to take the ball doesnt allow easy passes to go past him.Moura has this problem,runs around,great desire but nearly always by how he approaches the player allows and easy out ball.When the press beats one of the wide players too easily it opens up the pitch,beat a CM, there is another behind you,out wide it pulls another player over and then you are on the back foot,Son has been taught what is required,is very good in the system now and Moura hopefully will learn this dark art,which is more than simply run around a bit.Back to the point,I just dont see marcus being interested in this side of the game,and its why he will never make it under Poch.If the coaches thought he would take it on board he wouldnt be out on loan where he cant be coached by us.
On to Parrott,what I see is a desire to learn,play his heart out,fight like fuck,its why I believe he will make it and edwards wont.
