TGAA_Star Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 He has to step up tomorrow but not just tomorrow but just in general period because a goal scorer of his quality for his club at Lille, I've been waiting for that form to be duplicated for Canada jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually wouldn't mind either club. West Ham he gets to be a focal point in that team along with my fellow countryman Mo Kudus (GHA) and other players like Edson Alvarez and Michail Antonio. But putting David at Chelsea especially for a player of his magnitude, he would help bring Chelsea back to top 4 status just by him going there and especially playing with Nicolas Jackson, Cole Palmer among others.

Kadenge Posted Wednesday at 02:10 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:10 AM What a finish. Incredible he still had the legs to sprint and get himself into position for that super pass from Jake. sebdeserio, jhoops__, DeRo_Is_King and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s remarkable. Not to be a downer but I think he often goes to ground way to easily and I find that the refs in Ligue 1 don’t give him as many fouls now that they are familiar with his tendencies.

Kadenge Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:28 PM You can see the intensity on David's face for the entire game, he's always switched on and runs hard in min 1 to 90. He used his body very well yesterday to win fouls, unlike a lot of our players. Canuckia, jhoops__ and Obinna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned he might not be a great fit for the new manager but a front 3 of Bowen, David and Kudus has serious potential… WestHamCanadianinOxford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me is worried with how demanding our fanbase can be but I need it to happen before Chelsea and especially Sp*rs.

He has one good chance but otherwise both he and David mainly did work in the build up play. Larin even did a bit of a body check in the build up to the goal - just enough to not get called.

That goal doesn't happen without Larin full stop. Larin positioned himself in a way that he'll never get called for the foul, especially in that area of the pitch. He turned so that his opponent was on his back. Very savvy. If anything, the ref would have whistled in Canada's favor. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted Wednesday at 08:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:04 PM Larin has improved his hold up/shielding techniques over the years. He was able to get a few more calls in this match than in the other matches, in part because I think Peru were pretty focussed on deliberately fouling. In the previous games, he was getting outpositioned by quicker anticipating defenders and then couldn't sell a foul to the ref. Very cool finish on the goal by David.

He had a good game and was absolutely key in the lone/winning goal. Just meant that the bulk of his contribution boiled down to him using his positioning to win and hold the ball, and draw fouls.

Exactly the skills you would expect him to pick up playing as a striker at the bottom of La Liga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted Friday at 01:30 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:30 PM (edited) "Meanwhile, it is understood West Ham are unlikely to pursue their interest in the Lille striker Jonathan David." https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jun/28/west-ham-may-move-on-from-kilman-after-wolves-stick-to-45m-asking-price Jacob is a serious journalist but has been very wrong before (this year even.) I knew of him from him being a young poster on a West Ham site years ago.
