National media drops ‘lacking’ verdict West Ham United loanee Callum Marshall for Northern Ireland
West Ham United loanee Callum Marshall was described as “lacking at times” during his performance for Northern Ireland in their 2-0 win over Luxembourg.
The 19-year-old started the UEFA Nations League clash on Thursday [5 September] but failed to make an impact for his national team before making way for Jamal Lewis after 57 minutes.
Marshall, on loan to League One outfit Huddersfield Town, split opinion with his international outing as the forward’s performance was rated by outlets in his native Northern Ireland.
The Belfast Telegraph [5 September] handed him a 6/10 rating, writing: “Worked hard but the final ball in threatening areas was lacking at times from the fledgling striker. No surprise when the Huddersfield Town forward was replaced in the second half.”
While, Belfast Live [5 September] awarded a 7/10 rating for his performance, writing: “The West Ham youngster looked lively throughout with his pace causing Luxembourg problems.”
Callum Marshall needs to impress West Ham United on the international stage
Marshall has gotten off to a flyer in his loan spell with Huddersfield with one goal in three matches in League One followed by one goal and one assist in two Carabao Cup fixtures.
The forward had an underwhelming spell with West Brom during the second half of last season with only three appearances for the Baggies and has had to settle for another loan spell further down the English football pyramid this term.
