2022/23 Neal Maupay

[riddick]

So he isn't good in the air, he isn't good at setting up others, he isn't good at finishing, he isn't good at Heading, he isn't good at off the ball stuff.

It's his first year but what was he meant to be good at that we apparently aren't playing his "strength" at?

 

[Street end man]

His reputation which we all mostly bought in to was his ability to wind up opponents centre backs. He'd not wind up Mrs. Marsh from next door but one. She's faster,stronger, nastier and can hit a ball cleaner albeit she's 78.

( And I'll bloody pay for It !! )

 

[Zatara]

He's not always been this impotent.

He scored 1 in 4 at Brighton, versus 1 in 22 with us.

His goalscoring record is nearly 6 times worse for Everton than it was at Brighton.

Everton has broken him.

Brighton were creating chance after chance. Wouldnt be surprised if 6 more good chances a game than us.

it was common knowledge they needed better than him to finish the chances off.

Were seeing that this season at both clubs.

 

[coleman=quality]

He actually makes me laugh sometimes just watching him play, how on earth does he get paid to do this?

It’s mind boggling it really is another one who must pinch himself every morning living the dream.

 

[blueconverse]

OK so being awful at finishing I can understand. What I don't understand how a pl athlete in his prime is so effing slow. He moves like Rondon who is double his size and past his prime

 

[GoldenToffee]

That was the worst performance I've ever seen from an Everton player tbh. Yes he's not at all helped by being played in that role, but every single aspect to his game was pathetic. Laughable, in fact. He wasn't even "putting himself about" which is what you'd probably tell a crap player to do if you had to pick them despite not really wanting to.

Don‘t blame the player, he puts a shift in. The individuals responsible for signing him, along with Patterson, Godfrey, Mykolenk, Deli & a few others need to be sacked.

 

[royvernon39]

Maupay was crap. We all saw it yet Dyche kept him on until the 75 minute.

I am certain that Dyche is far better than Fat Frank but yesterday's defeat was all his.

My only consolation is that Maupay can never start again for EFC and the fact that DCL
was seen at the game with his sister may indicate a return as half-fit DCL would improve
our attacking by 100%.

 

[GoldenToffee]

I bet they would have sold us Welbeck for £15m and he'd have been about 50x better than Maupay has been for us.

 

[Kev The Rat]

What is crazy is that he’s been a 10 goal a season man wherever he’s been since he was about 19.

Until now.

 

[Adscum]

Having had time to calm down and think about it, I'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt and say: he's the worst striker in the history of Everton Football Club.

 

[dannyboy]

He is absolutely awful but it just makes me laugh now how we continue to play him up front by himself surrounded by 6 foot plus centre halves. Two managers in a row have both tried this tactic on multiple occasions and to make matters worse we currently play long balls for him to challenge for. So not only is he a really poor player, but we also don't play to his strengths.

Couldn’t agree more , he was John Spencer levels of bad yesterday but the tactics were dreadful giving he absolutely no chance .

 

[Big Sams Undies]

One of the worst to wear the shirt.

There’s not a single positive attribute in the lads locker… Small, slow, weak, disgraceful finisher, no passing range, no vision.

Just a big pile of utter dog dirt.
