Fans say Maupay is 'only good at s***housery' as he hands City goal in Walker clash
FANS all said the same thing after Neal Maupay gifted Manchester City a goal against Brentford.
The reigning Premier League champions won the match at the Etihad thanks to Erling Haaland's solo goal.

The visitors looked set to frustrate the hosts as they got through the first hour without conceding.
But their hard work was undone when Haaland punished a few mistakes.
Maupay's first loose pass handed the ball cheaply to Manchester City in midfield.
The ball soon found its way into the hands of Haaland, who took advantage of Kristoffer Ajer's precious slip to run clean through on goal and pass Mark Fleken.
Maupay has built a reputation as one of the biggest clubs in the Premier League in recent weeks.
He first upset Tottenham star James Maddison by mimicking his darts celebration.
Then, in the reverse fixture against Man City just 15 days ago, Maupay, 27, was involved in a confrontation with Kyle Walker.
But after his precious strike, fans have all suggested that this is the only thing the striker is good at.

One posted: “This Maupay boy is only good at homework. No football.”
A second commented: “Maupay is an absolute pudding who makes laws due to his lack of ability.”
A third wrote: “Maupay hasn't done anything since he arrived, he's even helped City.”
A fourth said: “Maupay came on and ruined the game after everyone gassed him.”
Another added: “Receipt for Maupay.”
Maupay and Walker clashed again during the match when the defender was shown a yellow card for a rash challenge on the forward.
The match marked the first time Maupay and Walker had met since their furious clash a fortnight ago.
On that occasion, a visibly irate Walker, 33, complained to referee Jarred Gillett and fourth official Stuart Attwell late in the match.
A lip reader claimed the England star had threatened to “knock out” the Brentford striker after he “spoke about my children”.
Maupay is said to have denied the referee having done so, saying: “I didn't do that, it's okay.”
The incident was subsequently not included in Gillett's match report, resulting in no further action being taken by the FA.
