Confirmed Signing Neal Maupay

[Yarrgh]

Save us Maupay one, you're our only hope.

I think it's more likely that it shakes out when healthy like this:

- Dominic Calvert-Lewin and McNeil lofting balls at Dominic Calvert-Lewin's noggin is Plan A
- Maupay and additional winger (loan?) looking for Maupay on the ground is Plan B

with us mostly playing three up top, probably with Gray on the other side adding a goal threat up that flank to keep the opposition honest, or Gordon if we keep.

Rotate starts as needed to keep players fresh, and to best attack whatever the opponent is giving us. If you don't like what you're getting, pull a double switch and execute alternate plan. If you think two up top is going to work today, start Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Maupay. If it doesn't, sub lesser performer today off and add appropriate winger.

Since we're going to be a grind-it-out team, it's even possible that Lampard will deliberately get it wrong at the start. He can then bring on what he thought will work best once the opposition tires. That plan is looking to limit the damage to 1, play from behind if necessary and hammer two in late on.

That's a pretty flexible toolkit. I would really like one more attacker for cover (foreign loan slot? no Gordon sale?), relieving Rondon of his number, but beggars can't be choosers.

Hopefully another one comes in up top

Just read on the Athletic that he got sent off for calling Jon Moss a "f****** joke".

Hes won me over.

Welcome Neal mate.

I love him already.

 

[Blueclouds]

We will like him cos he doesn't half wind up the opposite team

 

[Timhowardsswearbox]

Are we pronouncing it Mow-pay or More-pay?

Decent signing in our position. A very neat footballer with a bit of edge. He'll raise his game when our fans get behind him. He'll also complent DCL but can also play alone up front to keep 2 of theirs busy. I hope we get Diaz Garner and Gana too and that'll be a good window for us.

If we stick with the 3 at the back, I could definitely see us going 3-4-2-1 with Gordon and Maupay as tucked in forwards, with Gray and hopefully another forward still to be brought in as goal scoring options off the bench. That would be a handful for opposing defenses when they have the ball. TBD on whether it gets us enough goals.

Welcome to Everton Neal.

Ooofffff

 

[nsno-chris]

Hope he jaws Van Djik in the derby

 

[Parker]

I love him already.

Anyone who opposes Jon Moss' ill fitting refereeing uniform is a star in my book.

 

[Ufotone]

Welcome Neal Maupay

Happy about this!

Hope we are buying some goals here

Now go and prove your worth

 

[Bilko]

Delighted, good luck to him.
