2022/23 Neal Maupay

[Mr Happy]

Also the same as Bergkamp’s vs Newcastle in the sense that it was a poor touch that set him up perfectly

Keep telling yourself that mate

His touch is much better than I realised. He’s got quick feet which helped us keep possession a number of times.

He’s made a promising start - well done to the lad

Do you believe that was a poor touch?

I'm sure I heard Hasselbaink and Wright say the same.

Personally thought it was a great touch to take it on the turn.

Listened to a fella behind me at half time saying ‘Maupay is awful, as if he’s a better striker than Ellis Simms, Nathan Broad’hurst’ or Dobbin’.

I was just laughing to myself thinking you honestly have no clue. The league is difficult to play in and none of them other guys have the required ability to play in the Premierleague, yet.

Bang, Maupay scores. I turned around and said ‘there you go, slagging him off at half time wasn’t you!’

Just mad some of our fans.

Not being funny but he's clearly one of the best second choice strikers in the league if you think about it. Think he'll get loads of chances even when Dom is fit and playing. Imagine having him coming on at 60 minutes or playing up alongside Calvert Lewin, he may not get 20 goals a season but he'll be very good for us. Yet another player who'll no doubt prove the doubters wrong, which was plainly obvious anyway to everyone who actually wanted this team to succeed and wasn't just putting forward false and negative arguements as if we bought him to be first choice, which by the way wouldn't even have been that bad.

1 in 2 for us so far and should really have scored against those as well, he'll get the chances, sometimes he might miss but he'll keep going and going not hide or sulk, that's the sign of a good forward for me.

He was great yesterday, loved how he would always show for the ball from the centre mids, love players like that who want to give their team mates an option and aren't afraid to take possession further from the goal.

I think that's a good point on second choice strikers, and real competition for DCL will be vital, as will options.

I wonder if we might see 442 in some home games, with Maupay able to drop deep at times both to receive the ball and press the midfield? Him and DCL could be a real handful for opposition centre halves

Great that he has got his first goal. Lovely touch and shot.

It beggars belief the negativity and cynicism at times. You're literally watching some of the best players in the world (a large percentage albeit), in the most played sport on the planet. We should be so lucky

 

[MikeH72]

Btw DCL never scores that.

 

[Nymzee]

Btw Dominic Calvert-Lewin never scores that.

So

 

[MikeH72]

So

So we would’ve drew 0-0 if Maupay hadn’t started.

 

[Nymzee]

So we would’ve drew 0-0 if Maupay hadn’t started.

Or we would have scored off the many crosses pelted into the box. I find all the sly ways to slag Dom off very strange.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

I really love this lad.

Wasn’t an easy ball to control but I doubt he’s meant for it to sit up with him like that

I think the thing in his mind was to touch it on turn and for it to bounce up to get a snap shot in. Whether he meant it or not it was a great touch.

Should've played more to his feet yesterday because he's tricky. A few pointless high crosses yesterday he had no chance with
