[Albion] Neal Maupay...SIGNED FOR EVERTON.

[timbha]

Explain please

As I saw it (once) the penalty came from a moment of madness from the defender from a fairly average cross that might/might not have created us with a scoring chance. It is not something we worked for.

Yes it was a golden opportunity to take the lead but with an hour left there is no way we can claim that’s missing the pen is the reason we didn’t win.

Has anyone claimed it’s the reason why we didn’t win? (I may have missed this)
…..I can see what you are saying but I can’t agree with the not deserved on that basis…defender made the error ..clear cut penalty..despite the attempts by Norwich players….Krul should have been carded for unsporting behaviour..but Hooper was too weak
Thanks for replying.

I take it you're new to football!

Happy to stand by what I said, it’s a game of opinions and I’m absolutely happy with my opinion. Certainly doesn’t make me a Wally or lacking in emotional intelligence you twit.

It just appears that we have differing opinions on the situation

It’s not an opinion though is it? It’s just you completely misread ie are wrong, and I’m just correcting you.

 

[portlock seagull]

We didn’t deserve the penalty anyway.

What?!! Norwich suddenly switched to playing basketball, it was that ridiculous. Clear penalty.

Brighton may not have "deserved the penalty" but the defender sure deserved to get a penalty against him. If your arms are straight up in the air and you pretty much catch the ball, you are going to get a penalty against you. Its has been the case since 1869 and will most likely to continue to be the case until our species are wiped off this planet.

Well given goals win games and it’s a clear shot from 12 yards, I would say it contributed….

As for something we didn’t work for, I would argue we created the situation with the cross, yes it was stupidity, but I don’t agree with the sentiment of your comment.

Hat’s off to you for doubling down but on this occasion you are wrong.

 

[portslade seagull]

He just winds everybody up with the simple chances he misses. To hoof another penalty over the bar is criminal

I thought it looked somewhat like volleyball.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Is that a combination of NM and GP? I haven’t listened to AL yet but he seems one of the good guys.

Anyway Neal is deffo one of the good guys!

If true then we'd finally have a striker of average height.

 

[Seagull58]

He is not good enough.

I could have picked any of the replies but thank you for stating the obvious.

My point is that of course the referee was correct in awarding the penalty to us, however I stand by my point that it wasn’t something we had worked for, created and therefore deserved.

Obv the pen was our best chance but we can’t put not winning solely down to that.

 

[timbha]

I take it you're new to football!

…..And you are new to reasoned discussion and debate

 

[Swansman]

He is not good enough.

Good enough for a team wanting to get into the top 10... possibly not.

On the other hand I struggle to think of one single player who has had more impact on Brighton staying up since he arrived.

Is that because NM didn't dive to the floor to get the pen awarded?

Sorry, don’t understand.

A half-decent Prem-level striker such as Murray would have scored twice as many goals as Maupay has managed. Just because he has converted a small percentage of the chances he has had does not mean he was or is the best choice for us to stay up and progress.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Sorry, don’t understand.

Most people don't. That's okay.

 

[Luke93]

The support for Maupay as he came off today was great to witness. Hopefully that’ll help Neal as missing those chances today won’t sit well.
