The downside of Maupay as far as I can see is that he is very lightweight and easily brushed off the ball.

Looked strong a few times with the defender on his back. I remember one moment where he had a defender really hassling him from behind whilst the ball was dropping from a clearance. He managed to hold his ground, keep the defender behind him and then very nicely brought it down on his chest. Just from that one instance alone I could see he has the attributes to cope upfront in this league.

I found one of his closing down runs very endearing in the second half. Locadia was much closer but didn’t seem bothered but Maupassant, who had been on the pitch for an hour + sprinted to close the defender down. I appreciated that.

A splendid effort by the 19th. century French author, especially since he died in 1893!

Blimey! As far as auto-corrects go that’s pretty unusual :laugh:

Plus Trossard, I think he could become one of our greats. He’s only going to get better, as he improves his decision making in a ‘top league’.

Good call, was thinking out and out forwards

Another poor display from maupay today. Thought trossard, march, bernado looked good going forward. Maupay looks out of his depth. Is he simply a finisher ? Do we need a bigger man to spearhead the attack?

That a legit thought? Or are you just a helmet?

Stat Brother · Aug 31, 2019

Set up a couple of decent chances.

Not too sure what else he's supposed to do :shrug:

Absolute nonsense. Did very well to put it on a plate for trossard and had a few nice touches and bits of hold up play, but we were playing Man City away, I don't really know what you expect. A lot more to come from our Neal

I thought other players looked far better going forward today and the previous 2 games. Maupay looks weak to me. Time will tell.

He had a good game. A few sloppy first touches though.

Albion plus points

+ Played our way out of the press (but City didn't tire of it)
+ Possession football is the best form of defence
+ Webster

City plus points

+ Clinical finishing x 4
+ Ederson prevented two big chances with a save and a diving interception
+ 5-1 to City for blocks in their own penalty area

Sorry Perseus, re possession football the two comparative results at City would suggest otherwise.

Understandably struggling with the step up imo

Sounds familiar

It's his 4th game ffs... and he scored in his first game. Can we relax a bit?

Or you could say he's only started two, one of which was against PL champions for the last two years and concede very few goals....the other played with ten men for two thirds of the game reducing opportunities to score

Dick Knights Mumm · Aug 31, 2019

He'll be fine. Have faith.

Early days and getting used to the speed of thought that PL players generally have...first game he’s started ...unfortunately you don’t have the luxury of loads of time to get used to things

Yes, this. Very early to judge.....

Woeful today. Constantly offside. Slow. Weak. Just don't see what he has going for him
