The Sanches goal wasn't an assist? Anyhow, he keeps improving every week imo. That run where he made the faint and went around the defender before crossing it for the eventual second goal to me looked like the Jonathan David we all know and love. I expect a goal or two will come next weekend. johnyb, Cblake and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw that several times with Gent and of course that wonder goal against Cuba in Nations League last fall.

My worst case scenario is that their game plan of grinding out a result with the hopes of getting one or two garbage goals a game will hit a dry spell for them for a sustained period, which could result in them dropping even further in the rankings overall.

Gian-Luca Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Sanches goal wasn't an assist because he was passing it across to Yilmaz. The keeper had no choice but to try to block the pass but it left it straight to Sanches to put it in the net. Similar to (although not as egregious as) that goal that Laryea set up for TFC against Montreal where he ran half way down the field, beat half the Impact squad and centred it for a tap in for Piatti, he doesn't get the assist but he definitely created the goal. Assists IMO shouldn't depend on being nullified by deflections or the ball richocheting off someone's shin or hand. The point of the assist is to give credit to the person who set up the goal, so in these situations it becomes a faulty way of collating statistics. The flipside is the NHL where two players will get an assist for a goal where the player missed the net with the shot but it hit a defenceman's skate and went in and 2nd player's pass was actually four passes before the goal because the goal scorer and the primary assister passed it back and forth 3 times before it went in. Soccer is too stingy with giving these assists, hockey is not stingy enough. There's a huge gap in between the two approaches.

Kent Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think I read a while back that fan voting accounts for a certain percentage of the score. I don’t remember how big a percentage. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 That has to be the earliest point into a match that David has received a pass on a forward movement this campaign. Made a hash of it (probably because he was surprised the pass came) but still. N1ckbr0wn, Nate3322, johnyb and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Lille score off a free kick to go up 1-0. YIilmaz header. Edited October 18, 2020 by narduch Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diego Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Early lead for Lille who are playing a strict 442 again -- Burak with a poacher's header after a set piece. David involved a couple times which is encouraging, still very early. We'll see how much they sit back with a lead. Also yeah OneSoccer sound is unplayable.
