[Albion] Undav

[schmunk]

Why? They both play upfront, both are similar height,

He's 3+ inches taller than Maupay...

 

[Diallo]

He's 3+ inches taller than Maupay...

Undav is 5ft 10 (1.79m)

Maupay is 5ft 8 (1.73m)

What does he actually do?

I’ve seen 2 games in a row he’s started for us in the Premier League and I can’t work out what his strengths are supposed to be. Like what does he actually do out there? He doesn’t seem to be involved.

What does he do? Obviously more than enough in training to make the manager thinks he's worthy of a place in the starting eleven

Decent enough player who is getting better and learning all the time.

 

[warmleyseagull]

I still think he needs more games to get up to speed and see what he can really do.

As we kept saying for Maupay, AJ, Locadia, Andone....

 

[warmleyseagull]

He looks like the £5m striker he is. No better no worse.
Maupay without the goals is a fair comparison at this stage. There is something to build on.

Maupay WITH the goals was crap.

 

[JBizzle]

Maupay WITH the goals was crap.

He wasn't crap though, was he? Maupay was "OK" at worst, but the team changed it's approach to the point where his contributions diminished. In the end, we moved on but let's not re-write out 2nd top Premier League scorer off as "crap"

Let's leave it at 'disagree'. IMO, Maupay made bad decisions (usually, but not always, deciding to take on something himself rather than team-mate., notably not passing and agreeing he cant take a pen), and executed poorly. He is fondly membered for late goals at Palace, WHU, and Saints, fair enough, but his scoring record was consistently below his Xg. Not a result of system; if he were better player, the team would have been built round him (a la Haaland).

My (genuine!) mate who is Everton fan says they were kippered buying Maupay, and he is universally discredited by the fans. I accept 'crap' is a little unfair, but he never was a PL player.

 

[S.T.U cgull]

defended him earlier in this thread but horrendous today. Fat, immobile and cannot finish - get rid

 

[BrightonLoyal]

Can’t understand how he gets on the pitch ahead of some of the other subs, he’s utterly useless

 

[Weststander]

Better than Locadia is the best thing I can say, he works hard and gets in good positions.

I'd love to be proved wrong, but he strikes me as having little composure in the moment and against pressurising defenders/goalies he fluffs his lines. Either with pathetically weak shots (Bmuff) or he's an expert at heading wide.

 

[jcdenton08]

Still looks a stone overweight to me. Doesn’t suit his body shape.

 

[Rookie]

Unfortunately I think the premier league might be too quick for him. Think there is a player there but not suited to the English game

 

[seagullwedgee]

Doesn’t have any of the basic attributes or skills, or the natural instinct, or physical requirements for top level. And never will. Hopeless basket case. Get rid.

 

[saafend_seagull]

He’s not good enough for premier league. Clone of maupay.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Think he is more of a ‘foil’ than an out and out goalscorer.

 

[macbeth]

Think he is more of a ‘foil’ than an out and out goalscorer.

that isn't how he was used at all at USG. also if he's 'foil' then why sell Maupay, who was the same?

 

[Normandy seagull]

Would rather of had Maupay today- at least he could match Fulham’s shitehousery

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

He had no need to be offside for the second disallowed goal, annoyingly.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Had one chance today. Not an easy one.

I'm still in the, too early to judge, camp.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

He had no need to be offside for the second disallowed goal, annoyingly.

To be fair we delayed getting him the ball. Our passing was appalling today.
