that second "no-look" assist (for the 6th goal) was a beauty.
second highest scorer in goals per game stats.. 9 goals 12 games.. pretty prolific.
24 goals for club and country so far this season and we're just past the mid-point. Could be easily looking at a 40 goal season
Parrott is showing the instincts of a good striker - being in the right place at the right time.
AZ have sacked their head coach after the weekend's result

20th league goal for him tonight in 1-1 draw v. Excelsior.
10th league goal but 20th in total I think for the season. Has already matched his scoring total for last year where he struck 20 goals in 47 games. He has done that in 26 games now.Quote:

It's great to see though. He has to be attracting interest from bigger clubs with that record in a league known for developing good players
The answer, for what it's worth, is that it was an extremely muted celebration. One thing I've noted watching a few of Parrott's AZ goals is that more of his teammates often run to the assister afterwards than to him. He scored from a long punt against Ajax and they all ran to the keeper who punted the ball. Last night more of them ran to the player whose shot was saved than to Parrott, who converted the rebound. Maybe he's not hugely popular in the dressing room there? (It could also just be that they simply run to whoever is closer)
From what I've seen, I don't believe that to be an issue at all, and for full disclosure, I noted the peculiarity that you highlight above in the Ajax game and something struck me (but I stand to be corrected): there are quite a few of his goals - and the assists from last week - where the momentum of the scorer/provider is in the opposite direction to the provider/scorer, so that schism which you recognise becomes more pronounced when a team like AhZed shift the ball sizeably and quickly.Quote:

Buckett, the way Kingdom carries on, just count your blessings that Parrott hasnt faced FC København yet.

Might give a sense of the kind of fee Parrott may go for in the summer, assuming he isn't going anywhere this month.
No way!Quote:
