Unfortunately, neither is available. I actually was just thinking of how well an Akinola - David duo would have worked. Ayo’s injury sucks for a whole bunch of reasons.

apbsmith Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I'm not a big excuse guy and knowing David he'd be the last to make one but let's look at the bigger picture: Sunday in France goes a full 90 and scores 2 goals. Then 18 + hours travel time and 7 time zones later he starts to settle at altitude. Thursday goes 80+mins vs Mexico and I felt he went to the well. Felt he pressed well but admit not his best game. Travel from altitude to 35C heat and humidity. Sunday wasn't expected to play the role or the mins he did, but he did, and goes 80+ mins. The logistics above are pretty much why some Jamaicans including Antonio didn't even show up this window. David has always answered the call and will find his feet. I'm assuming Lille fans are not impressed with the usage of their star player. David is class, he showed it vs El Salvador for us as well as the due or die matches vs Haiti and Suriname. Let's hope he recovers well and puts in a great shift on Wednesday, I'm confident he will. zammy67, Kadenge, Obinna and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term I am not worried about him not giving us more, but short term we need him to step it up for us, tired or not. Back at home with a few days off now. I think we see more from him against Panama. Cblake, h coach, Xavier. and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see him starting given how much footy he has played and travelling. Unless Lille are really lacking alternatives, I think he’s gotta start on the bench.

I personally don’t care how Lille do, as long as David keeps scoring. If he continues his strike rate he’ll be gone in the summer for sure. Mind you, when David scores, Lille win, so I guess I do care how Lille does in a roundabout way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 PSG only won on Friday eve thanks to a very iffy penalty, late. So it is not like even the best sides are doing anything special. Lille needs any of David, Yazici, Yilmaz, Weah, Ikone to start clicking in front of the goal. The problem is if the team has no way of buiding an effective attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frmr Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Big chance for David to continue his run of form at home on the big stage tonight. Strong team from Lille aside from Botman being out injured. Would love another brace from him tonight to show he can do it on the big European stage as well as domestically and internationally. canuckgbp, Chad_Impact, Sal333 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
