A friend of mine ran into him this morning in downtown Toronto. So I assume he flew out at some point today. Now after Seba flew back in Toronto after playing for Italy and playing for the Reds nothing would surprise me. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Why would a top league have scheduled a match two days after the window? None of the other first tier leagues have matches today. apparently this week Lille requested the match to be postponed but the broadcasters refused. johnyb, Ivan and narduch 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Lille might sack the manager soon - they look awful. yilmaz scored the penalty today but he has looked significantly worse this year IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Lille play Wolfsburg today in (hopefully) Jonathan David’s first Champions League appearance.

Floortom Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Wolfsburg’s defence is as good as any - not a great matchup for a Lille side that really struggles to create good chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is one of those instances where a team elevates its game to suit the moment. If they play like they have been playing in the league, JD’s Champions League adventure will be pretty short lived. It isn’t going to get a lot easier despite being in a group that looked like it had decent possibilities for Lille when drawn. - RB Salzburg is currently 7 and 0 in league play to sit at the top of the Austrian league. - Sevilla have two wins and a draw from their first 3 games and are only in 6th because they have played one less than everyone above them in the table. - Wolfsburg are the only team above Bayern in the Bundesliga with a perfect 4 and 0.

That said, none of those teams are absolutely top sides, because Lille was in pot 1. Now if you look at Sevilla they are a great team, no question, and should out-compete Lille; they are even stronger than last year. But Lille should be able to beat Salzburg, in a much inferior league, and at least rival Wolfsburg. Depends a lot on how the team evolves with the new manager, if they start to play to their level or still struggle with what they did right last season.

I just think it is interesting that what looked like a really favourable group seems to have gotten a lot tougher in light of the way all of the rival teams are playing so far this year. Wolfsburg starting with 7 straight wins would have to make Lille feeing a bit nervous. And with the way they are playing in Ligue 1, I am not even sure if RB Salzburg will be an easy couple of games.

El Diego Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 He's been ok. I think Lille are playing decent, actually. Ikone has had a bit of a tough one on the right but Gomes on the left wing looks tricky at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some chances for Lille but haven't tested the keeper yet. David had one weak shot that was just wide, 2 nice link ups with Burak and a real splitting pass to Burak (but called offside). David could have played for a foul just outside the box when John Brooks basically pushed him in the back but got up to make a pass to Burak in the box. sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
