I donât understand why everyone is getting so defensive about KMâs comments on Parish.
Itâs not like the dickheads in plenty of other threads who say âso and so is a spud and needs to be shot out of a cannonâ.
Christ, plenty are criticising Hurley a lot more than this and the defensive reaction isnât anywhere near this.
KM is just giving his opinion that Parish may not turn out to be as good as people think.
There clearly have to be question marks over him. Yes, his form this year also coincided with the team being crap, but a lot of the questions over him existed last year as well.
his kicking needs work
heâs not a threat resting forward and doesnât have the endurance currently to play primarily on ball
doesnât seem to have a great outside game at this stage.
He may still turn into a gun, but I think itâs quite fair to have the opinion he wonât ever be one of our best 4 or 5 midfielders.
Itâs because, Aboods, he has made that exact same point in the exact same words a million times, without exaggeration. Move on. For â â â â â sake, move on.
Heâs not a first year player anymore. He said himself in the last off-season that he has struggled with the running. I think it improved this season but heâs still got to improve it
Hypothetically, If Parish comes back in a few weeks and is ready to go before Zaka and there are are no other injuries who do you bring him in for?
Iâd drop Guelfi but iâd love to know others opinions because the love for Guelfi is way over the top so far imo.
Iâve got doubts on Parish, but iâd still have him ahead of Guelfi as a mid at his stage
True. It just stood out for me that in his first preseason he was training with the mids and given the full time gig during the year. It said to me that he has a reasonable tank. But no doubt itâs an area that needs a few preseasons to get right
