Everton striker Neal Maupay has stirred up controversy after posting a cheeky tweet about Everton's loss. The Toffees lost 2-0 to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, a result that's got them just three points above the relegation zone. Though it was their first loss in a while, Maupay, who's on loan at Marseille, didn't seem too concerned. He tweeted, "Whenever I’m having a bad day, I just check the Everton score and smile, " which didn't go down well with Toffees fans. Alan Myers reported that Everton is aware of Maupay's post and will handle it internally. Maupay joined Everton from Brighton in 2022 but struggled to score, landing a loan deal with Brentford. Despite his loan move to Marseille, he's still an Everton employee, and the club seems keen to address his social media antics. Maupay's career hasn't been smooth at Everton, and his recent comment hasn't helped his image. It's a reminder that athletes, even those on loan, are still representatives of their clubs and should be mindful of their public statements.
