Shouldn’t use a young player to point score against fans over who’s boss.
After we hit the magic 43/44 points and are safe from relegation, give him a games and then we all (from a fans perspective) can judge him.
Go on Jose, I dare you, what've you got to lose, can't get any worse
The fact that Jose is so quick to praise Skipp and Tanganga but is markedly not so for Parrott suggests he may think he has an ego problem
Cruising with 30 minutes to go? Parrott will never get a game.That's a fair position, once we are secure then give him a run-out, but I see one issue with this.
If the team senses we have given up on the season, the whole team may play without effort, and we might not see what he (Parrot) is really about.
We need a game a live wire game, where we are cruising with 30 mins to go, then stick him in, when everything is going for the team.
That's the way to blood him, last night wasn't quite right.
Imagine the meltdown if Mourinho hadn't given him the runout. The lad will come good but whilst managers get it wrong, it's a salutary lesson in the real game not being like championship manager. We're all pundits but you have to trust the process of bringing through players sometimes.Shouldn’t use a young player to point score against fans over who’s boss.
Possibly buy Skipp and Tanganga didn't come with the hype. It's not just the fans - he's getting bigged up by pundits too without having proven anything yet.The fact that Jose is so quick to praise Skipp and Tanganga but is markedly not so for Parrott suggests he may think he has an ego problem
Personally I was waiting for him to get the green light when ready. If Mourinho only did it to prove a point it’s completely irresponsible.Imagine the meltdown if Mourinho hadn't given him the runout.

Maybe we now can stop hearing about how essential he is all the time until he's matured a bit more.
Agreed - it would be very disappointing.Personally I was waiting for him to get the green light when ready. If Mourinho only did it to prove a point it’s completely irresponsible.
Majorly off topic and 100% hindsight, but who the fuck comes up with the idea of letting Llorente go unless he agrees to a 5% wage decrease so we could save a few thousands. I mean having Llorente in the squad, then letting him go, then hiring Mourinho who only would have needed to have Llorente in the squad now. I'm going to use a word now that's controversial, but that's Spursy.My perspective on that was that I wanted to see somebody in the 9 shirt who actually knew how to play there. Didn't have any great expectations of Troy Parrott doing some sort of 'Roy of The Rovers' saves our season type deal, but thought it was worth a go putting somebody in there who knew what the job entailed. Fernando Llorente would have done for me.
