2022/23 Neal Maupay

[RFUS]

That is a proper strikers finish. Not the kind of 6 yard finish we’ve come to rely on from DCL and Lukaku before. Reminiscent of Louis Saha perhaps.

Good to have options up front.

 

[davek]

Needs to be in or on the edge of the box. If he's further back than that he's ineffective.

If we played with two up he'd be more in games.

 

[Fansince1988]

Would we have seen that from Dominic Calvert-Lewin?

Not a chance

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Works hard, strong for his size, keeps it quite simple. Snide nuisance. Goal from pretty much nothing. Shrewd business regardless of not being a super sexy young Belgian superstar.

 

[ProZ]

A striker that can strike a ball, who knew

Were we in for Plastic Bertrand?

 

[kenada_blue]

Mitchy Batsman would've finished that

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Wow nice pivot and finish. Well done Neil.

 

[EGWToffee]

I like him. Bargain for £15m. Good competition for Dom

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Boss goal that by County Rd Zidane.

 

[Mr Happy]

Who was hating him, seems a bit odd to pick on a new signing so soon when he had a solid record in this league for Brighton over last three years and everyone knows the current financial situation.

What I like is you can shift him out wide if Dominic Calvert-Lewin ever gets fit. He interchanged with Welbeck at his previous club last few seasons in the front 3 so flexibility to mix up the formation if Frank wanted to.

Before he'd even signed pal. Go back through and see, if you can be bothered. I mean or just take my word that there are some weapons in here!

 

[Parker]

Some finish that yeno.

Proper bolt from the blue stuff.

Shows the difference having a proper striker has.

 

[davek]

I do like to see a shot with not much backlift to it.

 

[knowing your history]

Before he'd even signed pal. Go back through and see, if you can be bothered. I mean or just take my word that there are some weapons in here!

Just seems a bit odd given he did o.k at this level for Brighton, was regularly 1 in 3 scoring ratio for them and considering the budget that's not to be sniffed at.

It's not like he was some journeyman Marcus Bent/Beckford punt although of course those signings can come off aswell sometimes.

Forest will be kicking themselves they didn't get that transfer down as they were frontrunners at one stage and he'd have fitted into Cooper's style well. That could be crucial come May.

I like him. Bargain for £15m. Good competition for Dom

Good competition in general for all the front three positions I reckon. Even if Dom comes back on top four Maupay can play off him very effectively too.
Cracking finish today to add to the general nuisance he is to defenders, loads of great link up one-twos as well, one of which was just before his goal!
