How Isaac Price has changed his perception as Northern Irish media react to his performance vs Hungary

West Bromwich Albion will be keeping a keen eye on Isaac Price with Northern Ireland.

The 23-year-old has had a much-improved start to the campaign after some struggles last time around.

His three goal involvements have certainly helped the Baggies look towards the top of the Championship.

He couldn't make his presence felt against Wolves as Black Country derby defeat made way for the international break.

He's already featured for his nation in the past week having played the full 90 against Georgia.

Price went on to do the same against Hungary on Monday as we delve into how he got on.

What has been said about Isaac Price in Northern Ireland vs Hungary?

The midfielder has certainly shown a maturity to his game under James Morrison this campaign.

He has gone from being creative force to being just as good at the unseen elements of the game that come from playing further out wide.

That has allowed him to become a slightly more complete player in a sense, and that has been reflected on the international stage.

Local outlet News Letter rated his performance against Hungary an eight and left a review in that ilk.

They wrote: "Built his reputation as a goal threat but respected for composure in possession and constant work-rate, plus came close in second half."

The Northern Ireland X account also praised his late second half effort as "great" as he tested Hungary keeper Balazs Toth.

That saw him come so close to capping off a top showing with a winning goal, but how does his stats reflect his performance?

What do the numbers say about Price vs Hungary?

The midfielder featured in behind striker Jamie Donley and was able to make his presence felt further up the pitch.

That allowed him to take the most shots on the pitch with three across his 88 minutes before being taken off.

He also created one chance as he looked to make things happen for his teammates.

Price also impressed going the other way as he put up two defensive contributions and five recoveries, while also winning three ground duels.

That is all largely positive, but without a goal once again, worry could creep in. But not for the Baggies man.

Price not concerned about Northern Ireland concern

The 2003-born ace has certainly never been shy to speak his mind when given the opportunity.

It certainly landed him in hot water last season as his frustrations boiled over, away to Portsmouth in particular.

This latest example with Northern Ireland is certainly a lot more considered despite his frustrations with the result.

When asked by BBC Sport about his failure to score, he said: "I think that's football. I think the chances are coming. I'm getting in the right positions, it's just about the final quality now.

"I don't think there's any worry, I think we are playing well as a team and that's the main thing."

It seems as if he is still confident in his abilities, something that will be music to everyone at The Hawthorns.
