Troy Parrott F AZ Alkmaar b.2002

[seanfhear]

All part of the education of a young player. Tottenham should be more that capable of handling Norwich in 90 or 120 minutes.

Mourinho was a big gamble for Levy. Not really a Tottenham style coach and somewhat of a pain in the ar$e.

Pretty sad krul needs to do that to a teenager. Parrott should have turned and said I haven't seen many from you either cos you don't play

Nonsense. Krul done exactly what he should’ve done if he thought it was more likely to lead to Parrott failing to score. Doesn’t matter if he’s a teenager or not.

Anyway dealing with a keeper playing mind games, missing a penalty all good for him i reckon - character building, a young striker has to experience these things.

Lets not kid ourselves, if Randolf says that he did that to a Slovakian/Bosnian/NI teenager in a few weeks, we'd all be delighted with him.

No way to know if it worked either, it was a pretty well struck penalty, seems like Krul was lucky to choose the right side.

[samhaydenjr]

I never like seeing players do that looping run around when taking a penalty - always feel there's a greater chance of an imperfect connection - still, great to see both him and Idah get good minutes

[Fixer82]

Keeper doing his job, getting an advantage. No problem with it. Troy will learn from it no doubt.

[Razors left peg]

Seriously lads, is there really a discussion about the Keeper being mean to the young fella?

Hopefully the fact that he wanted to take a pen will show Jose that he has the right mentality, seasoned pros have hidden in that situation. Other than that Im glad he got more than 1 minute and hopefully he stays a regular on the bench in the next few weeks.

I always thought the ref was too soft on Krul that day (in Brazil). A yellow at the start and a warning he'd have no hesitation sending him off.

Unless he's called up (24 hours before the game) from the B standby squad to the CL A squad, he would not be eligible to play tonight, and AFAIA this has not been done.
Troy is still listed as a B squad player.

Ah, okay. There goes that then.

[tetsujin1979]

He's traveled with the squad to Germany, but that's no indication he's been called into the "A" squad

[geysir]

There's some hope then.

On the bench guys!

[Diggs246]

Spurs need 3 goals and he is literally the only striker on the bench.........
