2022/23 Neal Maupay

[MikeH72]

If you can't control the ball when it's passed to you the formation, tactics and role you're being asked to play are irrelevant.

Also finding a way to avoid the goal every single time you have a shot isn’t relevant to the formation and tactics you’re being asked to play.

 

[MikeH72]

It's not his fault he's crap.

It's Michael Keane's.


HAHAHAHAHAHA

You guys

This is the first and only time I’m willing to absolve Michael Keane of blame for something.

I will be very upset with Dyche if he doesn’t have the balls to keep this clown out. I think he is a braver manager than most and won’t be pressured by the board to play him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more Maupay minutes than we should (which should be 0).

can’t see the board putting pressure on dyche to play this dope

 

[Toffeepot]

he’s slotted in the prem for this forum’s favourite team numerous times

1 in 4 striker consistently under performing his expected goals

He's not suited to Everton, he's not a number 9 - but the problem is deeper and more complex than "he can't finish/he's crap"

Agreed it is more complex in that Everton has accentuated his weaknesses rather than using his strengths but he isn't a good finisher, never was

 

[kiss the crest]

The fact that Dyche continues to play this dope is very worrying

Please sont reply he has no options.

Gladys in the canteen is available she just needs some shin pads, she's better than this clown

I don’t think anyone is saying he’s a good finisher, but we were a team that had just survived relegation the season before, we weren’t about to go and be able to attract a good finisher. It hasn’t worked out for Maupay here that much is obvious but he was a player that had scored in the prem before and was available to us. It’s not worked out but we really didn’t help him out either.

See, before Everton he had a better conversion rate than both Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.

Strange how he's gone to pot since rocking up at Everton.

I get what you're saying, but Xg will tell you a different story.

Maupay's Xg over the last 4 seasons: +14.0
That is terrible.

Haaland's by comparison over the same period is -15.7. A difference of almost 30 in Haalands favour.

Jesus, even Danny Ings is -3.6 over 4 seasons. 17.6 better than Maupay, who was given chance after chance at Brighton.

Can you see what I'm getting at? The stats don't lie. He's a terrible striker.

Not true
In the previous 3 seasons DCL beats him by a lot for conversion each year
Richy beat him 2 out of the 3 and the third was marginal

It was true. When we signed him his conversion at Brighton was better than both Calvert-lewin and Richarlisons at Everton at the time. It was shared on here - from the premier league's website. Even the likes of this shows its not just a case of he can't finish.



Either way he scored goals for Brighton/leading goalscorer but not here. Why?

Opta has it different then...no way that tweet is accurate
He scored 1 in 4 for a team that created twice as many chances and we just aren't a passing possession based team
He was a terrible signing
That's not his fault though

No definitely hasn’t worked out and I’m shocked at how bad he is when we first signed him I thought not great but can come up with goals was relatively happy with the signing, the more I see that snide Barnet in blue the more I’m starting to hate him.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

If you multiply the XG, divide it by the minutes on pitch then turn your phone upside down it reads...Neal Maupay = Bumgas.

 

[Groucho]

What’s XG?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

What’s XG?

Short for Xray-Glasses I think...

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Why is he still here? Couldn’t hand pick a striker less suited to Dyche. Can’t be any fun for him either. Get him and Gray out asap. Can’t write off the first 3/4/5 games of the season again.
