There was talk he is doing a special training program, anyone know if this is the case? With Kane and Son potentially returning quicker than expected he probably only has another 6/7 weeks to get a game as once they are back he's unlikely to get a sniff

There is zero evidence to suggest be should be starting
Apart from the fact that he's our only fit striker. Eriksen wanted to leave and we ended up playing him a fair bit because of lack of options and injuries.

That's a terrible comparison. I'd like to see Parrott given a go but Eriksen is a mid 20's international playing and very experienced player. We played him because Mourinho knew he could provide certain qualities. Parrott is an unproven youth player that many know little about.

It's not a terrible comparison, because I'm not comparing the quality of the players.

I'm saying that sometimes needs must, and that means playing people who you might not otherwise.

In an ideal world, everyone would be fit and we'd have as long as we want to give Parrott his chance. In reality, we are still in the hunt for fourth and he's our only fit striker. And though unproven, he's highly rated. Look at Tanganga. We wouldn't know he was ready until we gave him a chance.

Clearly not going to make it after what I've seen today, had 120 seconds and did nothing with it, shambles.

Nothing to do with ability all to do with mental application by the sounds of things. If fans are pinning their hopes on an 18 year old striker and at the same time throwing shade at Mourinho for not playing him ...
