rydermike Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Random question, but is there a reason he uses his first initial on his jersey at Lille and with Canada? He's the only player with that last name on either team. Only thing I can think of is that David can be a first name and many international footy players use their first name on their jersey, so he wants to make it clear that it's not. "J.David" instead of just "David". Saw on the World Cup rosters sheet that's what his jersey is going to say again https://fdp.fifa.org/assetspublic/ce44/pdf/SquadLists-English.pdf sstackho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just being a team player so Wotherspoon can go with "David", clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinceA Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) I hope Herdman and his agent give him a talking to. If he wants that big move he has to show he has it in him to score in big moments. Edited November 23, 2022 by VinceA DeRo_Is_King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpg_29 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 David can totally disappear in games for Canada. It happened in WCQ. I don't think the style we play really helps though. The attacking hardly ever comes up through the middle. grigorio, narduch, Kadenge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floortom Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 This is why I’ve very scared of him moving to a big English club. I’ve seen way too many of these performances from him with Lille and Canada. There’s not going to be much patience or leeway for it at United or Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I thought he played quite well. He was all over the pitch and showed some great holdup play. Kilbane may be right the his dropping deep is not a good thing, but he's just a great footballer who contributes wherever he gets on the ball. kacbru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebdeserio Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Him not being able to head a ball is the reason that we'll have to sacrifice a midfielder to bring Larin on for the next 2 games. And I say that as someone who's favourite player is David and who thinks he was our most creative player. Jack1997 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I don't understand where this can't deliver against top opponents is coming from. What top opponents have we played beyond Belgium? Uruguay? He has two goals in Honduras. Does any other Canadian have that on their resume?

Larin has goals against honduras, USA and mexico. Cavs has mexico and USA. But its all baloney, David has scored against good teams, under pressure in europe.

VinceA Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I will say the more I watch this the more angry I get. This is the only real negativity I'll take from this. David is letting Canada down with the amount he talks about his composure and the will to get Canada's first goal at a WC but then pulling shit like this. This was as easy a goal you can get and he fails spectacularly. I get he's 22 but at some point he needs to show he can get it done. He isn't right now.

He has no aerial ability though - it’s a big downside of having him as your sole striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Easy now. Buchanon put a couple of half chances 30 rows into the stands, Larin had a couple of shots to get good crosses on frame but couldnt, Davies missed the penalty. It happens. Scoring buckets in Belgium, France and previously in a red shirt proves he can get it done. Nobody gets it done every time............

dennis Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Have to think that Herdman should of started Larin over David as he did vs the US in qualifying. That pass from Estaquio after he nutmegged De Bruyne would likely have been buried by Larin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan isn’t a prolific scorer in club but I’m going to write it off as 1st game nerves.

TBH, I was way more upset when he didn't lay the ball off to Richie in the 1st half than with this missed half chance, especially since heading is not his forte. But let's not get down on JD; he'll get the job done. He did score in the Suriname game (I know that seems "easy" in retrospect, but at the time, it was huge), the goal away at Honduras in WCQ, the goal away at ES, and the goal at Honduras in Nations league when they played in the pool ... sebdeserio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Rewatching the game cause I made my kids go to school (not because I care about school, just that my kids would annoy me with questions). Anyhoo, JD is clearly one of the most talented players on the pitch for either side. Maybe we just need to work Larin on to the pitch at the same time.

rydermike Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 In terms of sacrificing a midfielder to play Larin, David drops so deep, he can almost be another midfielder for us. If Hutch isn't good for next match, maybe drop Eustaquio back, bring in David for an AM role with Larin as a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
