I don't get the petty cheap shots against Weah... him and David actually have quite good chemistry on the pitch, seem to have a close relationship off it, and aren't in competition with one another. 

Tell that to all the Americans that called David a fraud all year. It’s funny how it’s all crickets now.

You're right but... it's banter.

who cares what a bunch of clueless clowns think

Alternatively - it is just a joke.  No need to take it too seriously.  I chuckled, threw it laughy face, and moved on.  
 

It is cool that they seem to be friends. And while I normally don’t root for the American guys (cough *understatement* cough) I do kind of like Weah.  I just hope his development in no way impedes David’s progress.

I don't get the petty cheap shots at American fans.  Voyageurs and American fans have quite a lot in common on the pitch and seem to get along well off of it....

[LeoH037 1,511]

not a cheap shot at all, anyone that's been calling David a "fraud" is by definition clueless and a clown (given what he did in Belgium), and it was never directed exclusively to Americans 😛

Lille take on Brest tomorrow at 11am ET. They host Ajax on Thursday in the Europa League.

PSG and Lyon both play today.

[dyslexic nam 11,089]

Curious who David will have with him in attack.  Probably Ikone with Weah subbing in later but him and Weah have shown some good chemistry.  With both Yilmaz and Yazici still out I am curious if Weah gets the start with JD.  

[dyslexic nam 11,089]

Oh, and Lyon lost yesterday and Monaco were held to a draw this morning.  Of the 3 teams at the top competing with Lille only PSG hit the win this weekend.   Lille need to make sure they take advantage of the slip ups to go back to the top of the table.

Yazici is back in the squad today. Not sure if he starts though

And Brest beat them last time out with 3 early goals (David didn't start this one) so they'll need to be sharp from the opening whistle.  This will be a tough game.

[narduch 3,519]

Brest beat them right after they beat Milan mid-week.

I can’t see him starting.  May be wrong but a later sub would make a lot more sense to me.  

[narduch 3,519]

The posted his jersey in the locker room on twitter. That usually means that player is starting.

[narduch 3,519]

David starting up front with Ikone.

Yazici and Weah both on the bench.

Out of all the options, Ikone is my least favourite strike partner for David. Hope I’m wrong, but I predict another frustrating match

At least Ikone (and others) seem to be finding him with passes a bit more often lately.  Not excusing the sometimes selfish play of the other guys but JD’s early (lack of) finishing wouldn’t really inspire a lot of confidence - especially among those not that familiar with him.  Now that he has found his groove I expect more passes to come his way.   

[Aird25 1,519]

10 minutes in and David doesn't have a touch

[Cheeta 1,839]

Not finding the gaps, yet.  Expect Brest will bring more ambition out for the second half which should open things a little.  We'll see.

[baulderdash77 2,424]

Lille with 70% possession and no shots on net.

It’s frustrating to watch.

[baulderdash77 2,424]

I’m glad Icone is out.  David has better chemistry with Weah.

[Alex 1,156]

He Just scored.... but it was called back 

[ADP10 82]

had a goal ruled offside because of his teammate being ruled offside

[baulderdash77 2,424]

David scored at 66’ but there was a player offside.  Unfortunate because it looked like Lille is finally putting it together.
