It's not just Neal though, and relying on him to do everything is insanely naïve. We've had 8 different goalscorers this season, Villa have 13 and West Ham 15. Villa have scored 8 more goals than us this season so far, West Ham 21 more. Brighton have got a total of ZERO goals combined from: Lallana, March, Gross, Moder, Dunk, Cucurella, Lamptey, Connolly, Veltman, Alzate and Bissouma. Between them they have a total of 9.6 xG and NO goals to show for it. None of those currently have the quality to finish good chances and we're left relying on 2-3 players to get us goals. It's unsustainable and these poor runs of forms expose it massively.
I agree with you and i think we all know that - but thats not the point you originally made which i thought was a tad unfair on poor old Neal Maupay who in terms of finishing and goals holds up really well as a comparison to Watkins and the like. !!
