[Albion] Neal Maupay's post-match red card

[albionalex]

Sorry his blatant t misses in front of goal (our xg) really doesn’t support your argument. You must be watching different games to the rest of us

I don't think anyone is doubting that his output this season has been disappointing but for £16m, 18 goals in two seasons is a solid return.

I wonder why he was only playing in the third tier at Maupay’s age then. Lots of history being re written about Murray (who I loved from the day he arrived here), he struggled big time in his first season at Palace in the Championship too.

Maupay is out of form and confidence but runs himself into the ground. No excuses for being sent off but Moss had a fecking dreadful game and gave us nothing. I remember the outrage at early Dunk sending offs and reading the same sort of shit on here at the time about how we should get shot of him.

My dog runs itself into the ground.

Like both CMS and Maupay, its crap at scoring goals for Brighton!

1 goal in 17 now.

Still £20m with add-ons according to Sky.....

And as per our previous discussion a few months ago, I think 9 goals per season is not great for a striker.

Our recruitment with forwards have been a failure since we made the PL - IMO.

Like many conflicts we see in life, at all levels, they stem from a genuine grievance. It is the protester who gets blamed .
It was clear to see that Maupay was getting kicked off the park, and that ref gave him nothing. What did he say? We don't know but it evidently hurt his feelings!
In this game today it seems that is cause for a red card even though Wolves fouls did not.

Jeez, that’s diabolical to be honest.

I think Maupay runs in better areas than CMS, but your point remains IMO.

Perhaps - but not based on goals scored which is all anyone really cares about for strikers

Well not according to many on here, who go on at length about Maupay's workrate. Murray was a much better all round player. His hold up play was excellent. Strong, with his back to goal and clever at winning free kicks. He was more composed in front of goal and played in a Brighton side creating far fewer chances. He was tremendous back in his own penalty area, giving strong defensive cover in the air. Opposition fans used to talk about Murray. He worried them ( like Zamora ) Don't think there are many fans out there shaking in their boots at the thought of facing Neal Maupay.

Tanno, got a red card at Southampton, for calling the ref a f***** cheat. It doesn’t take much for a ref to decide swearing is foul and abusive.

*Tanno was right, because the foul was a yard outside the penalty area.

Why not treat yourself to a day off from trying to defend the indefensible?

How is wanting to fully understand a situation in any way defending anything.

 

[um bongo molongo]

You can say that for every striker in the PL though, no ?

Whatever people think - Neal is one of our best and consistent goal scorers since promotion and his record is at least good as the messiah Glenn Murray.

Now whether we could have got a better striker for £20M 2 years ago is another debate, but really for what we paid and the return we have had is about par. Compared to Jarrod Bowen, Josh King, Glenn Murray, Mitrovitch - Neal Maupay is about par for the course.

The next level is £30M-£40M player - and wages to match

With the possible exception of Mitrovic, I would have all of those ahead of Maupay

but did he get a card for the F word or calling him a cheat? Which is worse to a ref

 

[zefarelly]

He also has a propensity to hurl himself down at every given opportunity, so I guess refs have become wise to him.

Likewise Connolly. like he's got mercury weights in his shoulder pads pulling him down!

It wouldnt be so bad but it's the amount of chances he misses that makes it worse - we're creating but he's not putting them away - similar to what Glenn Hoddle said about Andy Cole not being picked for England - he needs 10 chances to score 1 - Maupay the same im afraid in the Prem

Missed sitters has got to be double figures right.

Bowen's fee is rumoured to be £25m inc add ons, and Murray would just not fit in with the way Potter has us playing.

It’s basically a rehash of a Monty Python and the Holy Grail quote.

Rather than a re-hash, it’s actually a direct quote (albeit without the “French” spellings to bring out the accent).

Lancelot: What a strange person.
A: (getting mad) Now look here, my good ma--
S: Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough
wiper! Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and
your father smelt of elderberries!
Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?
S: No!! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!

I think the frustration of his current form finally boiled over and simply lost the plot , he did seem to be invisible to the referee and he had at least 3 fouls on him missed by Mr Moss .

Reading between the lines I think this will actually do him no harm , I think he's trying to hard if that's possible and over thinking what should be coming natural to him .

I think we may see Zeqiri step in and it will be interesting to see how he does in Maupays absence.

Biss is lucky not to get a yellow as well. If you look at the footage, he claps the ref a couple of times for sending
Maupay off sarcastically it would seem. At least the incompetent tool Moss missed that.

He can't do any worse.

He's actually looked pretty good, harries, can shoot and has a head, in both respects.
