£15m player drops horror display with ‘two yellow cards in three minutes’ after Everton exit

Everton’s season has been really underwhelming thus far, but there have been signs in recent weeks that the tide could be turning at last.

After all, going from four straight Premier League defeats to unbeaten in their last three marks clear progress.

For that, Everton manager Sean Dyche does deserve some praise.

He is overseeing a squad already ravaged by injuries just seven games in, and managing to plug gaps and put out fires once again.

However, there is one player who the club sent out on loan this summer that, even if down to their absolute bare bones, the 53-year-old would not want back.

Everton loanee Neal Maupay sent off

Actually speaking about Cole Palmer initially, it was journalist Ian Ladyman who swiftly turned attention away from the red-hot Chelsea man and onto an Everton loanee.

After all, he used what the attacker has been praised for as a rod to lambast Neal Maupay with, telling the It’s All Kicking Off podcast: ‘Somebody who hasn’t quite got that presence of mind is our old friend Neal Maupay who we’ve mentioned several times on this pod when he was at Everton and Brentford.

‘Two yellow cards in three minutes playing for Marseille at the weekend. He was off pretty rapid. Some things don’t change.’

Everton will be glad to have Neal Maupay gone

After all he did whilst at the club, and how he treated the Toffees too, there are not many Evertonians who will not be delighted to see the back of Maupay.

Signed for £15m under Frank Lampard’s tenure, he was expected to add some much-needed goals to a side that had just lost Richarlison, their chief talisman, for £60m.

It was already an impossible job, made even harder by the numerous missed chances he accrued.

During that first full season, he scored just one Premier League goal from an expected goals tally of 4.80.

Later sent out on loan, Maupay would eventually mock Everton with a social media post just before the official announcement of his departure back to France.

The club were likely happy to be rid of him, and he was just as happy to leave Goodison Park.
