Clement Michelin gets a red card in the 35th. Lille will be up a man the rest of the way. Sets up nicely for a mid second half sub for Weah - he tracks back on D and counters better than the other options.
They are saying the game is on ice. It's 41' in so maybe we should think in terms of hoping for a 2nd half shift from Tim.
Bielsa was fired for selling the old guys who made Lille stale and bringing in the new talent that started a revolution in that team. He only managed them for six months, but the owners got mad at him for kicking out the old guys they liked. It turns out Bielsa was correct in getting new blood.
David blasts home a bouncing ball and it's 3-0. Folllows up with a black power salute. Well done controllin a rebound with a couple of gentle touches as a setup and a very non-gentle blast to finish it.
Ikone and Weah on for Araujo and David. We'll see if that means right mid or striker for Weah. Araujo was on a yellow, so that sub was sort of obvious. Looks like Weah is taking David's spot up top.
Tim is just blowing that 9 position out of the water - so close there but he misses at the far post. Replay shows him scuffing his first attempt on goal. Oh well....next time, Tim.
Even though it could be argued Tim is just returning from injury, I think Galette prefers David at this point. Unfortunately, the stats agree with him.
I'm not following. Weah is on the pitch Ooohhh, so close with the Weah back heel after the perfect move to set up possession in the box.
Bamba, you're an asshole. Less samba and more bomba please. How perfectly positioned was Weah there on the 2 man counter with Bamba?
