Kent Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Guys, it is fun to spell this out. There was a very big game today. Mbappe, Neymar, di Maria, and David all entered the field. Only one of those players left with a goal, and got the 3 points for the win to boot. That's Canada's 2nd best player against Brazil and France's best players, and an important player for Argentina. That's what happened today. goleafs67, Miche, Nello and 23 others 25 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Diego Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Game was set up perfectly for David, PSG were so vulnerable on the counter. Classic David hang back run for the goal, and he was literally limping as he was making the run. Hope he is ok, of course. PSG are a super unlikeable team. lamptern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Just gonna toss this out there..... You would be hard pressed to find any Lille fan out there, especially this evening, that says the David transfer was a disappointment. If Lille hold onto the title David's goal will go down in Lille sports history as one of the greatest moments in the club history. On a side note, my wife usually says it's how you finish that matters most, not how you start. zammy67, Dominic94, Canuckistan2019 and 10 others 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he's played a lot better lately. Whatever way you want to spin it. I’ll spin it another way. He leads Ligue 1 in goals since the new year. So he’s the most in form striker in France for the last 3 months. And honestly, if he took penalties, and didn’t get screwed out of a couple goals, he’d have 15/16 goals, with 7 to go. With the way that team plays, that’s pretty impressive actually. CanadaFan123, lamptern, Ivan and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would say, yeah, 10 goals, especially after Lille paid 30 million for him, would be a little disappointing, for the entire season, on the whole. Season hasn’t ended yet. If he ends on 10 goals, saying his season was slightly disappointing would be something I could accept, although when you consider how late he joined the team, how unfit he was when he joined, and the fact he had to adjust to a different role, and struggled to do so, then yeah I would personally be satisfied with 10 goals. Like I said though, season is not over. I think 12 goals would be a healthy enough return for his debut season, rough start or not. There aren’t many CONCACAF forwards who have scored more in a top 5 league this season.

A guy who has potted 6(?) winners for a table topping side. A player who should rightly have 12+ goals and that’s after a rough start.

Just checked and he has 9 in serie A.. so not even. and wow if David is having a poor season what do we say about Sargent and Weah? Two projected starters for the US.. David has more league goals than the two combined. A record signing leading his team in goals, winning goals and to the top of the league. You can’t spin that as disappointing.

Obviously he's played a lot better lately. They broke the bank because he’s a young promising player with big potential. They were not expecting 20+ goals.. 10-15 goals is a pretty good first season to build on. I’m not disappointed at all especially if you consider the style that Lille have played all season.

gigi riva Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I think Lille made a good call in getting David , Im sure the supporters in Lille are pretty happy with the signing also ya he started the season not that great but since Christmas he has been the top scorer in Ligue 1 . apbsmith and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
