[Albion] The Neal Maupay half time team talk
- Thread starter Harry Wilson's tackle
- Start date

I love watching our players gee each other up , it`s an important tool to keep on your toes . Everyone on the pitch should be encouraged to be vocal , but keep the negative crap until full time . If there`s a need for a rollicking do it at the end of the game , but it should be constructive not damaging . Big Dan didn`t need a mouthful for giving the pen away , he knew it , he needed support to finish the game . Just like a good manager knows when to put his arm round a players shoulder , or give him a rocket , so do good players imho . Verbally supporting each other has been one of our biggest attributes in the past , it`s great to see . Good on ya Neal .
Yes cos Duffy has clearly had a great impact on Celtic!
No problem with him having words at half time, I’d expect the players to do that and it probably happens every week.
Just don’t know why he has to come out after and say “I said this, I said that”. His comments were very self indulgent. It was a collective effort that got us back in the match.

What I love even more is that he revealed this in the interview - an interesting post-match interview for a change!
About time a player took some leadership. If Dunk has been it has not been showing.

Dunk has been off form. His strength in the past has been to lead by example , especially after he knows he should have done better. His passionate shouting at Sanchez when he made the great save was something we haven't seen also the two goals he has scored recently. Still not as good as he has been but playing in a different formation which probably does not suit him. Would definitely want to see him do more passing from the back rather than passes around the back. IF he is getting back to form that can only be good. His form in the Hypia season was a key part of keeping us up.

Well observed. His effort to block the cross on their first goal was uncharacteristically half hearted.
I loved Maupay’s passion but was alarmed that he went off at HT thinking that they (all the players) had so much more to give. For my money they should all be going on the pitch ready to bust their balls EVERY minute of EVERY half! They shouldn’t be needing a HT kick up the arse from Maupay. Incidentally, I’m still ‘Potter In’ but I do wonder if he’s got a decent motivational speech or bollocking in him!

Oui! A couple of “Zut alors!” and I’m a quivering wreck. Vive le petit Maupay, sacre bleu!

Yep. I genuinely think it was because he had mentally decided that a corner would be more threatening than a cross from that angle. Given our weakness at corners it’s not inconceivable that was in his head.

I bet you were a big fan of Conroy Goldstone
Yeah, terrible decision by Sami Hypia to let him go.

Good management if he was in control of situation - not so good if it happened out of his control. Would like to think it was a positive decision by him, but I have never seen any bite to him. Hopefully i have missed it?
The nice guy, weak potter , thing is overstated. He’s clearly no Roy Keane but there’s probably more bite to him than he shows to you and I .
Look at how ruthless he can be with players. The latest “Maty, you’ve played 150 games but I don’t fancy you anymore .....cheerio”. The players also know he has been given a massive contract by Tony. Potter has more power than most managers and will know that
However that second half came about , the side improved . That’s credit to the manager (for now )
Positively Knocky-esque then ............................

Come on Harry, if you take me off ignore you could see my quality posts, light year's before yours.
On the Potter In Out thread.
Potter still in.
I like Maupays spirit and energy, but I am not happy with his pumped up claims about how he motivated and inspired the Albions come back done on MOTD when interviewed.
How do you think Potter should deal with him? Slapped thighs, bottom or head?
Or of course we could make him manager

come back from 3-1 down and almost win it. ANyone notice in the second half POTTERBALL WAS ABANDONED and a lot more direct shots into the box
