Jonathan David

Nice finish!

[SoccMan 728]

There you go !

 

[Gian-Luca 3,952]

2 in 2 games, David scores on a corner after another keeper gaffe of sorts. The corner stemmed from a previous shot that David had taken which in turn had been set up by a nice pass to Araujo from David

[CanadaFan123 2,315]

Great buildup to win the corner and a nice finish with his weaker foot on the volley. That wasn't easy.

And you love to see the finger over the mouth toward the cameras. No question who that is aimed toward.

2 goals in 2 games! Let's go!

[Ruud 92]

Nice!  
 

as an aside Keep an eye out for this big Dutch defender Botman for Lille.   He was seen as a top transfer target for England 

[gator 2,903]

Through my Red and White tinted glasses that looked onside!

[Gian-Luca 3,952]

How the hell was that considered offside? If FIFA wants more goals in soccer plays like that where maybe two threads of the left sleeve are in an offside position need to be let go.

Yup there is so much that needs to change in this game and that is one of them for sure .

[Aird25 1,515]

The linesman never should have made that call

[Cheeta 1,836]

Geezus effin Christ...

[toontownman 3,369]

On the upside he is rediscovering form, confidence and the back of the net. Long may it continue...preferably onside.

[Aird25 1,515]

Set up again by the keeper. If only his teammates would pass like that

[Strait Red 1,441]

Nice finish!

 

[dyslexic nam 11,043]

Good half.   Great finish obviously and total BS on the offside call.  He should have earned Lille’s second goal. 

They better finish this game off with 3 points or the VAR officials will have metaphorical blood on their hands.

There's no one near him, why did he punched that? Easy ball to catch IMHO.

Nice finish by David.

Ikone?

Happy for Jo to be finding the form we’ve always known he’s had!! And from the little I’ve watched of them, Rennes play very attractive football. Were they not one of the teams rumoured to be interested in Larin? Looks like a nice destination if Besiktas are still set on getting rid of their top goal scorer.

Rennes finished 1 spot ahead of Lille last season 

[Cheeta 1,836]

Me-thinks there may be another goal in this match.  Could be at either end though.

Good to see Weah on.

I don’t think he’s anywhere near the form that he can play at to be honest. He’s lost as many duels as he’s made passes tonight. He can play in a much more free flowing system, but that’s not how he’s being used. Instead he’s battling CBs with his back to goal

[Dominic94 1,232]

Nice finish on the goal, shame to hear he had a second off side goal, refs don’t want him scoring too much it seems. A brace would have been massive for him.

[toontownman 3,369]

And that's when we call it a day.

Edit: They are still so hard to watch. David is pretty laboured and methodical in when he busts a gut or not imo but no surprise given the broken system they play with.

Coo...just got under it a bit there.

[Cheeta 1,836]

Don't make it easy on themselves do they?

Passing a bit off today on more than one occasion to be sure.  Still, showing better overall I'd say.  Little steps.
