Northern Ireland: ‘Different’ Morrison gives Michael O’Neill new option in attack
While Price, who nodded home Morrison’s cross for his 11th international goal, is nailed on for one of the roles behind the central striker in O’Neill’s preferred system, Morrison certainly staked a claim to hold on to the other against Georgia at Windsor Park on Monday night.
“Thought he was really good,” said Price of Morrison.
“He’s a different threat than what we have had before. A really good crosser of the ball and he has come in and given the manager a headache with a game on Monday.”
Despite the praise for his delivery, Morrison added that putting the ball into the box was not his first instinct.
“To be fair I wasn’t going to cross it,” he said.
“I was like ‘OK, get the ball and do some stepovers’, but it was just set it back to me and I whipped it in and Isaac was there.
“Every time I got the ball, I was just trying to make something happen.”
Morrison, who represented England at underage level but qualifies for Northern Ireland through his Newry-born mother, is hoping to keep his place for Monday and make what would be a first home outing for the side.
“It’s going to be great,” said the player who made two senior Liverpool appearances last season.
“I’ve never played at Windsor Park. Hopefully I get the start, if I don’t get the start, hopefully I come on and impact it.”

Exeter reached last season’s Prem final, where they lost to Northampton at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.
But they have yet to record a win this season after a surprising loss at home to Gloucester last week.
However Baxter says his side’s loss at Bath, and their sticky start to the season, should not cause too much concern yet:
“I just don’t think we need to be so worried that we’ve got to get five points away at that to be competitive at the end of this season,” he said.
“In a way, I’ll be worried that we think we have to get five points second game of the season to be competitive.
“What I want us to do is go, ‘We play really well every week, we build our points score’, that’s what gets us where we need to be.
“We saw that last year – that’s what we’ve got to do again.”
