LOSC offensive leader, Jonathan David remained silent this Saturday, during the reception of FC Nantes. A match to forget, since the Canadian did not even try his luck against goal.
At 24 years old, soon to be 25, Jonathan David represents the quiet strength within the LOSC locker room. Calm, always focused, he nevertheless proves to be explosive on the meadow, always ready to draw. His statistics bear this out with 17 goals scored in all competitions since the start of the season, or one goal every 128 minutes. Usually so dashing, the Canadian has been less so in recent weeks. He nevertheless compensated for his lack of efficiency with assists, like those distributed against SK Sturm Graz and in Rouen, which he did not manage to achieve this Saturday, against the Canaries.
“Coming back from the break is difficult for the Canadian international and this match was no exception to the rule. Too little found in good conditions, he tried to drop out to participate in the game but also lacked accuracy and quality in his choices to advance the Lille game.we wrote at the final whistle, giving it a score of 4.5. “However, there are creative players in this team. Even if it was against a low block, with a Nantes team which defended very well, we saw very little of Jonathan David, who was lonely, who was transparent. There was a lot of waste on the technical level”castigated for his part Walid Acherchour, consultant for the radio RMC and editorialist on
DAZN.
“What is certain is that we were too insufficient offensively to hope for better”
These few tirades translate into a simple statistic, the fact that Jonathan David did not hit a single goal this Saturday. Taken aback by this data, journalists from
DAZN asked Bruno Genesio. The latter did not spare his protégé, but also attacked the Lille collective, who did not help.
“Is it the responsibility of the player or the group? It's a bit of both. We'll have to watch the match again slowly, but there's probably a bit of both. It's true that we didn't manage to put ourselves in favorable situations to finish our actions, probably because there weren't enough good movements and we lacked simplicity in our circuits. When there were good moves, the players were not served. What is certain is that we were too insufficient offensively to hope for better”replied Bruno Genesio. There is no doubt that Jonathan David will be ready to rectify the situation on Friday, during a trip to Auxerre as part of the seventeenth day of Ligue 1.
