2023/24 Neal Maupay

[AndyC]

Just been on Sky him arriving at Brentford in a Trump-like motorcade… well, 2 cars following each other with the one at the back most likely full of Everton fans making sure he got there and didn't escape

Corrected that for you

Maupay has been playing, this is crazy

 

[MikeH72]

I assume Brentford won't play him as solo striker and hoof balls up to him with no team mates within 40 yards of him

Brighton played him as a lone striker

Are we ignoring the shocking misses? He could've had a few last year if he knew how to shoot - even with our lack of forward play he still had a few chances and in most didn't even shoot on time as he has to take 17 extra touches because of his lack of technique.

Same as he was for Brighton - except they have forward moving and attacking play, creating chances a lot, he scores 1 out of every 4 or 5. We just don't create enough and even tho it's not his fault he should've been able to, you know, convert the few he had. Or at least got an accurate shot off at least once.

I was over exaggerating the fact we misused him, it didn't help.

Not saying he would of banged them if he was played in his natural role.

They weren't hoofing the ball to him like he's a target man, he had runners that went ahead of him while he dropped deep.

I wish the lad well... wasn't his fault our potty club threw a ridiculous fee at Brighton for him.

 

[overkill]

Let's not pretend he didn't miss about 10 sitters christy brown would have finished

Also let's not pretend we didnt misuse him, we buy a 5ft 8 striker and play him as a target man lol.

Not denying he's probably not good enough, but we didn't help by playing him out of his role

 

[overkill]

He’s garbage

Doesn't change my point though, he's 5ft 8 and not a targetman.

We might be rid of Maupay aswell as Iwobi? What a day

Just been on Sky him arriving at Brentford in a Trump-like motorcade… well, 2 cars following each other with the one at the back most likely full of Everton fans making sure he remembered where it was.

If he was in the front car, did he clear the car park entrance posts, or hit them?

I don't understand this loan at all.

Iwobi I understand and approve, Cannon I understand as well and I would guess the player wanted a permanent move to help him build a career. I also think he was coming to end of his contract.

But Maupay allowed to leave when we have already lost Iwobi and Cannon and have not signed any replacement makes no sense.

We are now down to the bare bones in terns of player numbers, we can't afford any injuries.

Maupay isn't great but does work hard and could do alright playing off DCL or Beto.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Why are we loaning a player to a far better team

Ludicrous piece of business

To make them worse. Great tactic

Why keep a useless donkey?

Actualy think you are right. With Beto DCL and Danjuma the pressure isnt on him to deliver everything. Brentford put a lot of thought into their signings so they clearly see him adding something.
Maupay on his own at Everton? No point. Maupay with new signings just added to the squad? Makes sense.
