He had a hat trick for us vs Suriname and for Ghent against Sant Truiden in a 4-1 win. The commentators on my broadcast dixit. I didn't know . He's subbed off after Lyon gets their 3-2 immediately after the David #3. canadasoccer20, johnyb and sebdeserio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 David with 19 goals this season in a frustrating Lille side. Kylian Mbappe has 18 in a team filled with superstars, including Ligue 1’s top two assist leaders in Messi and Neymar. There is no way a top team doesn’t snatch this guy up. canadasoccer20, king1010, Obinna and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he has done his bit for today but if they concede again you have just removed the guy who has demonstrably the best chance of bagging in another one. *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Me, personally, if I was a smart businessman who owned a premier league team, I too would toss €165M at Paris for Mbappe which to me is a lot more reasonable than €40M for David.

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) Lyon ties it. Think I heard that Lille is the team in France that has metrics far better than their results, mostly because of losing points late all year.

It's going to be very difficult for David to catch him unless he starts converting most of his chances moving forward. I would be thrilled if David could move into the top 5, but considering Lille's standings, 8th is amazing This post didn't age well...😄 ob1, Kent, jhoops__ and 7 others 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Lille has honestly not been that bad to watch this year. I think if you’re a fan of any player other than David, it’s not a great watch because their entire offense runs through him, but for us, you have like a 4/5 chance to tune in and watch him score a goal, and that’s been cool. I prefer them to Brugge, Celtic (Celtic is just playing FIFA with the difficulty sliders turned down), any MLS team, Valladolid, etc. though it will be good once he leaves for greener pastures. I’ll be heartbroken if we have to do this for another season. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be heartbroken if we have to do this for another season. I knew very little about La Liga other than the Atletico, RM and Barca but I quite enjoy watching the Valladolid games after Larin got on the team. They're a relegation tier team but their quality of play is surprisingly good. Technical quality of the players is excellent but lots of mental and tactical mistakes compared to higher placed teams. ob1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 This is shaping up to be one of the best season yet for a CONCACAF striker....

And a Canadian season which ranks up there: Cyle Larin Beşiktaş 2020-21 Süper Lig 38 19 But is the one to beat though, clearly: Hugo Sanchez (Real Madrid) 1989–90 La Liga 35 38 To be honest he had multiple seasons like this - but this one was the best. masster, An Observer, Corazon and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Aside from that monster season from Hugo Sanchez, David needs 5 goals to match the 24 league goals Bryan Ruiz scored at Twente. He's definitely on pace to do that. Even if he only manages 5 more, I will give the tiebreaker to David, since Ligue 1 trumps Eredivisie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
