Parrot is a good man to buy a free
Parrott has done fairly well here
NZ goalies attempt to save that was reminiscent of an Australian trying to save a shot in a compromise rules game.
The pressing is very good. Good energy about that midfield.
He’s looked at home. Could even be in the frame for a bench cameo on Monday.
Someone should tell them to settle down that it’s only an auld friendly
Does Williams getting hooked there mean he’s in the frame for Monday or is there absolutely no chance of that?
Parrott ran across Maguire there, two on one if he’d dropped off instead
It hasn’t been a good week for Byrnes
I’d imagine no chance unless Stevens has a niggle
I wouldn’t say to start but he can play centre back or left back so might be an option if we need to switch to a back three or something.
New Zealand are a shower of fannies. They seem to think it’s a non contact sport
We were wide open down the middle, lucky they are shit
New Zealand have a £15mn striker. This is very impressive from Ireland.
Would’ve left those two on
Judge and Robinson for Byrne and Parrott.
15mn doesn’t get you much these days
How did Byrne play?
He played well. Busy, inventive, tried to force a couple of passes that didn’t come off but he’s a good player.
Ideal for Mick. Byrne gets his run out and the clamour for him to start is gone. Parrott did fine, but again there’s no major evidence he has to start.
