Just missed a sitter. Good movement but should have scored. He’ll be sick

Who was offside for the disallowed goal? Both looked onside from what I could see .

Big miss but he's playing well and they do seem to mostly understand his movement

Parrott subbed off after 58mins

Ya disappointing

u/openetguy 3d ago
I think it'll be a while before he plays more than 60/70 mins.

Fair on reflection must be some adjustment to the heat there. May take a bit. Big irish heads weren't made for summer in seville

Did okay. Good positioning and worked hard to win the ball back at times. Should have scored though. Hopefully he gets off the mark soon.

Dragged one wide in his first game and should have scored today. Hell need to start converting these chances or he'll be sold at the end of the season.

How’s he played first half?

Mostly unlucky between an offside goal that was a close as could be and a shaky midfield that aren't creating that many chances for him.
He's been an incredible presence on the pitch outside of goal scoring though. Can feel the pressure on him to score though hope he can get one

u/UnalomeJourneying 3d ago
Good sign he’s starting so soon. Pellegrini obviously rates him.
If he kicks on at Betis, they’ll be the most followed Spanish team in Ireland!

they wouldn’t have spent 20 million on him if he didn’t rate him tbf

Antony’s going to cross a ball into Parrott for a lovely headed goal at some point.

Hooked on 57th min. Probably meaningless but fotmob rating was not kind.

u/lambalambda 3d ago
He was good, missed a sitter he should have buried but was unlucky to see a goal ruled offside and did well to keep the ball for their first.

Not watched it but saw the goal he set up and offside goal. Getting praised in twitter too

u/drumlins17 3d ago
Would've been higher if that first goal went down as an assist. Played well enough. Glad Hernandez didn't do much when he came on

u/radionul 3d ago
Fotmob gave him a 6 something when he came on for AZ recently, played brilliantly and got an assist. But because the assist took a deflection the app algorithm didn't pick it up.

Yeah, it really reminds me of old Championship Manager where a lad is on 6, scores and suddenly went to an 8 or if he was on an 8, got sent off, he dropped to a 5. Even today, the disproportionate ratings for people who scored is mad. Ferry is on an 8.9 or something like that. Goals just seem to count very heavily in their ratings.

Pellegrini loves chopping and changing strikers. At city he often had 4 options and would still play 4231 quite a bit. At 3 years in City he had Aguero, Dzeko, Jovetic, Negredo, Bony and Iheanacho.
He just loves rotation. Both shifting players position depending on the game, in the middle of the game and hooking players just to spark something and give opponents something new to think about. Parrott will play from the bench, start play striker, behind the striker, wide. This is what he does with players who are flexible.

He’ll score goals in that league, standard of defending, outside the top 2/3 is shocking.
Go on Troy.

u/Hopeful-Vanilla-2800 3d ago
Don't know why you're getting downvoted. Standard of defending was awful even in that match.

Yep. Lads who’ve never watched a La Liga game not involving Barca or RM

u/ktth01 3d ago
La Liga teams apart from the top2/3 play ultra low blocks. They don’t give you space at all. It is harder to score than one thinks.

u/Frequent-Movie3005 3d ago
Wrong. Not when against each other.
Laughing at the comment being made on a thread about a game that had 7 goals.

u/John__Delaney 3d ago
Highlight of the day was him holding off 4 players before the ball deflected to a Betis player to score. Technically not an assist but he made that goal happen.
Had a few other moments but most crosses just didn't go near em.
Levante we're very impressive, now 4-2 up.
Going to take a while before he acclimatises to the heat.
Also going to take time before he's cohesive with the 3 lads in behind him, once they know his runs better he'll get alot more shots off.

u/OrganicVlad79 3d ago
Already at least twice in two games Antony has opted to shoot instead of giving Parrott a simple pass in behind

Hopefully he does well and the Benzema rumor isn’t true.

u/Automatic_Yogurt69 3d ago
Benzema is coming 39 in December and hasn't played in a competitive league in years.
