NI have "got to get better" in possession - Price

Northern Ireland's Isaac Price wants his side to "show more quality" on the ball against Iceland on Tuesday night than they managed in defeat by Denmark.

The visitors to Copenhagen defended well throughout the 2-1 reverse on Saturday but spent large passages of the friendly having to soak up pressure while the Danes dominated possession.

"We want to see more of the ball and show a little bit more quality when we have the ball," said the West Bromwich Albion midfielder.

"It's at home and I think all the team knows how well we do at home and it gives the team a little bit of an extra boost."

The 21-year-old has scored eight goals in 21 internationals but chances were few and far between for Michael O'Neill's side on Saturday after they took an early lead thanks to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's own goal.

The friendly against Iceland, who arrive in Belfast after beating Scotland at Hampden Park on Friday night, is Northern Ireland's last fixture before they begin their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in September with trips to Luxembourg and Germany.

"I think when you work so hard off the ball, when you're chasing the game a lot, when you finally [get] the ball, you've got to be good enough to keep it," added Price.

"That's definitely something we've got to work on, especially when we know we're going into World Cup qualifiers where we're going to play top opposition like Germany.

"We've got to get better at keeping the ball and that'll be something we work on."
