Kadenge Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 There is no doubt that the defending in Ligue 1 is way better than in Belgium, but David has had more chances in the last few games than he had previously. He should have at least 3 goals...including the missed penalty. He is playing well now.. it's just a matter of finishing off his chances...I dont think the league is too high for him. toontownman, Obinna, johnyb and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowcrash Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Looks like Bamba will be starting up front with David today in a 4-4-2 formation. Galtier said that the pairing looked good in an exhibition scrimmage earlier in the week. Lille missing lots of players through injuries and suspensions.

The correct answer would be "What is watching Jonathon David's inaugural season at Lille of Ligue 1. What is. That incorrect answer costs you $200 and control of the board passes to cheeta." "Let's continue with Canadian soccer fan torture porn For $300, Alex." "He took control of The Golden Generation and Canada's Mens National Team without any previous experience managing mens international soccer or coaching a professional mens side." "Who is John Herdman?" "Correct." "Canadian soccer fan torture porn for $400, Alex." "While coaching, at the time, Canada's only professional club side he said "We can't win with Canadians." and still kept his job." "Who is Trader Mo Johnson. Canadian soccer fan porn for $500." "DAILY DOUBLE. For $1,000 cheeta, This player spent his youth developing and training in Canada before continuing his career in Europe and representing a country other than Canada."

Gian-Luca Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 He looks the part though more than ever though- someone who definitely belongs at this level. The timing and movement of his runs have been superb and those were two of the best taken chances he has had. Cblake and Kadenge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gator Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think he played quite well that half he just needs to get that first one, he is getting so close unfortunate to hit the post instead of scoring! I noticed him being in some very good positions at times and his team mates either ignored him or didn't see him, I haven't watched many of his matches so I'm not sure if this has been a common theme!

dyslexic nam Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 A few random thoughts: - by far his most dangerous performance. He is really linking well with teammates and also showing the sort of individual skills that made him a hot commodity. Early on he had (I think) three different instances where he turned the defender to get into open space. - I know he still needs a goal but damn he is playing well. Even if he doesn’t get one today, the coach has to see the sort of contribution he is making and appreciate it. I get that strikers need to score goals but he makes them more dangerous. But that post... - I know it is easier to play well against weaker teams but Lille look absolutely top class in this game. They are passing well, making runs for each other, and just being dominant. I suspect this was the “project” that they sold David on when he chose to sign here. And for anyone who thinks this move was a mistake, I would point to that first half as exhibit A that we may want to reserve judgement on that. With games like this and their performances in Europe, he clearly joined a team with ambition. Yes, his development needs to continue being a priority but Lille are clearly a team on the upswing.

Kadenge Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 For the first time there is quick combination play between David, Yazici and Bamba. Very promising development for Lille. johnyb and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 A shame he can’t pass the ball to himself for a breakaway. Denied two chances for break aways by crap through balls. And now the French commentators have mistaken him for another black player on another breakaway Cblake, N1ckbr0wn and ray 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
