Jonathan David

That's how you counter! Lovely pass to spring Araujo by David

Secondary assist on Weah’s goal, really nice pass to create the 2 on 0 breakaway. 

[dyslexic nam 11,031]

Yeah boys!

[Bdog 903]

Fuck yeah!

[El Diego 1,013]

Smooth finish from David (Iceman like) after a nice 1-2 with Ikone. Looking real good.

[Aird25 1,495]

Gooalll!!! What's with all these unselfish passing plays all of a sudden

YASSSS

[dyslexic nam 11,031]

Off the bench for a goal-making play and a sweet composed finish to kill the game.   That is how you make the best use of 30 minutes. 

Very nice.

Involved in both goals he was on for. His second half of the season is looking very positive can't wait for Lille vs Ajax.

David's style of play is finally rubbing off on his teamates!

He is ON FIRE. YOU LOVE TO SEE IT. 

[Aird25 1,495]

I've questioned playing him as a #9 before, but that was an excellent touch and movement with his back to goal. He completely lost the defenders

He might win the French league title, would be crazy would he be the first CDN to do so ?

For sure. He is the first Canadian to score in Ligue 1.

Has a Canadian even played in the French top flight previous to this?

Hypothetical question to everyone:

If you had to pick between David scoring 4-7 league goals and Lille winning the league, or David scoring +12 league goals with Lille having a typical season i.e. not winning the league, which would you choose?

If he can keep us his current form he may just do both.

[Kadenge 2,255]

So Ikone doing a dance routine with David after he scored?...lol I think he's won him over. Seriously though, if Lille's forwards and mids actually keep passing the ball like they did leading up to the 2 goals, Lille could actually become a powerhouse team.

When the passes weren’t coming his way, he kept making runs. When the shots weren’t going in, he kept shooting. When the fans/media questioned his ability, he worked even harder. This is the definition of a Good Canadian Boy. Keep making us proud kid

Still not a huge Ikone fan but it is great to see the camaraderie.  I know that it is easy to be friendly when things are going well, but he does seem to be integrating well.   Like you said, the main thing will be if they continue to find him with passes like today.

I often check a certain Lille's supporters forum to get their opinions on their team. It is in French so I used Google translate which allows me a working understanding of what they are saying. Anyway,  there was a video posted of the players celebrating after the match. Ikone is on his phone, and some posters there were commenting on it (mostly negatively, saying he is a loner and not part of the squad -- doesn't sound like the first time he's been on his phone in such a situation). One poster said:

"Fortunately he wears gloves from September to May, otherwise he would be on his cell phone during the match too."

Figured you guys would get a kick out of that line.

It's interesting to get their takes. I gather that Araujo was poor when he first came, but he won the fans around. Bamba took a year as well. They love Benjamin Andre and Burak Yilmaz.
