Maupay is maturing. He knows he was carrying the team while Welbeck was out, he's just deals with it better now.
Needs a new contract asap, preferably yesterday.
It was shame when Maupay mentioned in his post match Sky interview:
“I don’t listen to this media narrative, of the fans. At the end of the day, my team-mates, the club is happy …”.
My instinct is that the majority of fans/supporters like and rate him, especially this season. Vital goals, plus he gives us a different dimension in open play, a pacey thorn in defenders sides.
Could he be saying the media misrepresent the fans views? There's not much negatively towards him from most fans.

Unfortunately it's not a new thing, you should've seen what it was like with Ashley Barnes. Hugely underrated by many of our fans, as he went on to prove after he left.Over my years here there has been no-one who has recieved the amount of shit Maupay had to take. Last season everything was apparently his or Dan Burns fault.

Can someone please help me with this?
25 attempts on goal, 77% possession and our leading striker has offered up absolutely NOTHING.
Doesn’t find space for chance creation, can’t hold the ball up, first touch lately has been on a par with CMS and he wins nothing in the air.
What does he actually do?
Also Webster, pre pandemic THE fall guy.
3 goals in the last three games , securing 5 points , more drama than a panto queen ,
whats does n't he do ?
Great response to all those misses - something has clicked i think.
Maupay definitely more a finisher of great goals rather than a great finisher. If he could do the latter too, he’d be 20+ a season…and probably not ar our club!
Surely all pro footballers/managers know the score football fans are fickle creatures always been that way. A hero one week a villain the next calling out fans is never a good thing Hughton used to handle it professionally.He said exactly what I typed.
Separating the shit he ignores from the media and fans, from the love he gets from the club.
Imho he’s got a lop sided view of what the fans really think, probably from formerly checking out social media in general. Never representative, a magnet for criticisers.

Does seem that way doesn't it? The amount of fox in the box chances he fluffs only to then score a worldy in the next game.
