Obinna Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Tuned in late so only could see the last few minutes of the first half. Was encouraged to see a 4-2-1-1 in my goal app, but it looked more of a 4-4-2 from what I saw. Sounds like David hasn't touched the ball much, which is not surprising.

Gian-Luca Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Lille with a 2nd goal (not that we saw a single reply showing the ball over the line), David more involved this time as it was his run and then cross in front of goal that was deflected out front for the guy who eventually put it in. Edit, they finally showed a replay which show it going over the line. 2-0 Lille Edited October 4, 2020 by Gian-Luca Cblake and Mikmacdo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is learning to play a role with people that don’t know him yet - and where he isn’t the golden boy. This will be good for him. Mark my words, David will be a success in France and Bith parties will ultimately be happy they made this move. This. A lot of players need time to adjust to the league, teamates, tactics...Werner & Havertz have not been setting the EPL on fire to date Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 And he is off. He wasnt really involved in the short time I tuned in for. He seems to want to revert deep when they want him as the 9. Might just have been the passage of the game I watched though. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Well that's it today for David. Had a role in the 2nd goal. Slowly but surely things are getting better, but it'd be nice for him to find the scoresheet. Too bad he was taken out as being up 3-0 ith 15 to go would have been a good chance for things to open up for him. toontownman and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 He isn’t seeing a ton of the ball by any stretch, but he seems to be increasingly involved. He still seems too passive some times - jogging behind the play and watching others making things happen (versus being involved in it). But that seems less often now. On the second goal he showed that cool little fake and delay that made the defender bite to free up the space. The manager is sticking with him and they keep winning. Things could be far worse. apbsmith, CANMNT_SUPERFAN, Obinna and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 He's being paid to score and generate goals. He's generated two in the last two games. I think his coach might be most pleased though when he came deep into his own half at the edge of pk box to strip the ball of a Strasbourg attacker and nullify and dangerous looking attack.

I am in the acceptance stage now. David's situation is what it is. I now watch with low expectations and low anger. Like others have said, it could be worse. He's starting for the team topping the French table. He's not burning chances. Things aren't so bad.

Kinda get what you're suggesting, but not the way I'd have put it. If 30 millions doesn't get you a player who's involved how much do you to spend to get one that is?

Floortom Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Thank goodness they’re on top of the league. 6 games with no goals or assists... Cblake and Free kick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free kick Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) I have not been able to catch any of their games. But, As long as the club is winning, the coach is not going to shake things up. Its not unusual for forwards to score in bunches. To give you an example, if suddenly in the next game he were to score two, that would put him level with the output from Mbappé and Neymar. And, we wouldnt be debating if Lille was right move or right fit.

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I have a cheque that came in the mail the day before David transferred to Lille that I still haven't cashed yet, if you know what I mean. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
