[Albion] Is Maupay any better than Sam Baldock

[Questions]

I’m not convinced he’s going to be good. There is a growing band of us who think he could be great.

I just read the first page of this thread. Jesus ****ing Christ

Interesting chat on Albion Unlimited this week about how his hold up play has improved and how GM is helping his development

What a player!! Magnificent today.Ability and attitude we desperately need, a winner.

Will prove to be a club legend I feel.

 

[Shooting Star]

Gotta admit, Maupay was different gravy today! Three month break and puts in a shift like that with a 95th minute winner. And an equally as excellent post-match interview. Love the man!

Loving his attitude.

His engine is something else. And he'd completely recovered by the time he was interviewed, which wasn't too long after the game finished. He even managed to fit in a bit of needle in the interim.

Meh to both Maupay and Baldock

Maupay is miles, MILES better than Barnes.

To quote Alan Partridge: "and another one!"

I do think we should shop more in the Championship - proven players at that level ,like Maupay , can thrive in the Prem.

Murray is the perfect example of how a career in Championship up to late 20's is no barrier to success at Premier League level

Maupay from championship is proving far better business than several buys from the smaller European leagues

Maupay seems the sort of player who you love at your club and everyone hates when he's playing against your club.

That is debatable, but what it's debatable is whether Maupay is better than Baldock. It's obvious.

He's just got a goal and an assist against a 'top six' club.
This was his second winner against this 'top six' club.
That takes him up to nine, 30 games of the season, and he hasn't started all of those. Many are fond of banging on about Murray's return. Well, Maupay is on target to reach Murray's goalscoring feats in both of his PL seasons.
And this despite scoring from fewer penalties than Murray.
Maupay has a simply fantastic engine. He was going on 40/50 yard intensive sprints even in added time.
Maupay is much quicker than both Barnes and Murray.
Maupay's all-round forward play is more versatile than both Barnes and Murray, expanding our options of how we play, making him a perfect Potter forward.
Maupay's done all this at the age of 23, three-quarters of the way through his first season in the PL.

It's fairly clear to me that Maupay is MILES better than Barnes, and likely to get better too.

Loved his post-match interview, we need his character and personality, says how he feels and didn't speak in cliches

I thought he was great today, Maupay - Bissouma - Dunk were an awesome spine through that team. He was a threat throughout, some nice interplay, came short and held it well, always finding spaces to receive the ball. Hopefully a little run of goals for him now.

And Adam Webster made a wonderful last-ditch goal saving tackle in one of his best performances for us.

He did. In my view, Webster is our most underrated player. There are two reasons for this. First, he makes mistakes. Second, he's keeping Duffy out, our PotS from last season, and a no-nonsense defender that deserves to be starting in the PL, but ...
... Dunk and Duffy are slow. They're great backs-to-the-wall defenders in a deep-lying defence, but we can't have that combination when we defend higher up the pitch. As that tackle shows, Webster has got pace, that was against Lacazatte, one of the quicker PL forwards. He's also much better on the ball than Duffy, and can carry the ball out of defence. Although not that tall, he's a threat at set pieces too.

Bissouma was something else today, and has been great of late. The following kind of line-up appeals for next season:

----------------- Ryan ---------------------------
Lamptey Webster White Dunk Bernardo
----- Propper --- Bissouma --- Alzate ----
---------- Mac Allister --------------------------
----------------Maupay --------------------------
