[Albion] Why wasn't Maupay subbed?

Because we have a tactically inept manager!
I'm more concerned by Jahanbakhsh coming on than Maupay not going off. At least Maupay isn't a total donkey.
They have the right of free speech.
Just like I have the right to put them on ignore (except [MENTION=26958]oneillco[/MENTION] - he's funny
)

Maupay wasn't subbed because the only other Prem quality striker we have was already on the pitch. The fact Potter thought Ali J was our best bench option with 10 minutes to go says it all.

Because Maupay has nudes of Potter’s missus. *supposedly*

We’ve just lost (again) to Palace mate! Maybe you don’t care too much! He made a ridiculous substitution. We lost again at home, that’s one win all year! He is very lucky the stadium is empty!

Would rather Connolly than Ali, needed that niggly player upfront

I can only assume Potter didn't want to hurt his feelings.

When it really counts he always makes the wrong decision. Over and over again.
Said it before, his overall play is pretty good but he has been hopeless in front of goal recently. He either needs another striker up with him or he needs to be dropped, evidently he can't lead the line on his own.

He's lost his instinct in front of goal , seems to think about it rather than do what comes naturally.Dosnt look like getting his head on one either yet he was pretty decent in the air last season.

he needs a decent spell on the sidelines or binning.
He is a very good championship CF, he's a willing runner, a good guy but he's not a PL CF. Certainly not one for any club with ambitions above the bottom 3.
West Ham buy Haller for 40m, realise he's shit and cut their losses by selling for 20.
Aston Villa buy Ally Samatta for 9 million, realise he's shit and sack him off to Turkey.
We buy Players who dont hit the mark and we just try and double down by polishing those turds harder with the same results as before.
We need more ruthlessness in the the club.
Because his link-up play was just excellent, he was involved in pretty much every single created opportunity. He was miles better than the other attacking players tonight but Welbeck is apparently holy (imagine the level of shite Maupay would have got if he had wasted the opportunities Welbeck wasted tonight), MacAllister flavour of the month and Trossard is "fun" and I dont even want to think about what Lallana was doing inside the penalty area tonight. Sure, Maupay should score more goals but setting up your team mates in excellent positions about 10 times should be enough, you'd imagine.

Let's be honest, there was no space in behind and this is his only strength, and his conversion rate is poor. That is why he did not come on.
I think its more a reaction to your ill informed idiotic post
He's great with his back to goal, hold it up - lays it off. Trouble is, he rarely gets the ball when he's facing the right way, and when he does (like with his nutmeg) I think he gets a bit overexcited. I still like him, but he's better at the link up work than the instinctiveness we need from a striker right now.
