Slow starts are stifling Ireland’s quest to emerge from their slumber, admits Troy Parrott.

Greece took the initiative on Sunday at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis once Evan Ferguson fluffed an early opposition, which might have warranted a penalty, running out deserved 2-0 winners to reclaim top spot in the Uefa Nations League table.
