There is no balance, whatsoever. I turned it off. There were two commentators the one with the BBC voice seemed pro-Arsenal the other was ok.

thevelourfog Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Couldn't watch today but sounds like a hammering. Been a bit too loose all season, just rarely up against quality to expose it. I'd expect these two teams to win their home games against each other so not anything to worry too much about, but a chastening all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say Arsenal look a whole level better than us this season and they were far the better team today. They have a cogent, but dynamic style of play as well as some very good individuals. Our defence has looked shaky all season, with and without Millie Bright, and Sam Kerr looks a bit lost up front. Erin Cuthbert has way too much to do in midfield and Emma Hayes has made some mystifying selection decisions. Apart from today's first defeat of the season (and notwithstanding the bucket loads of goals we have scored recently) we have looked a bit flat compared with last season and it's going to be a big ask to win the 5th in a row in the face of a better team in Arsenal and the competitive Manchester clubs. If anyone can I guess Emma can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonb Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I felt Berger should have been benched at HT. Cuthbert works hard though is better further forward always felt she was further back to accommodate Fran Kirby. Notice when crosses came over Sam Kerr often had three defenders around her. Although we beat City earlier felt again we were out played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Lauren James is a great player but she really needs to cut that nonsense out of her game. That's twice now in high profile games within months when things haven't been going entirely her way that she has stamped on an opponent. She should be best known for her skills but now she's best known to fans of other clubs as a nasty piece of work. Not a good week for the James household.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one banks on winning at Arsenal or City, all the top WSL sides bank on winning at home and against teams who are in "no win in 6" form. Like last year, we're one for grinding it out. When we drop points against teams our rivals drop points against, I'll worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ashley Lawrence struggled to get her passing game going, today. She made a lot of errors, especially early doors. The commentator said that there is a flu going around the squad. Maybe that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) 4-2-3-1 I would imagine with Ingle and Cuthbert as the two, RK, James and Reiten as the 3 and Kerr up front, but its all pretty fluid.  Edited December 20, 2023 by Sciatika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 We ended 1-3 with goals from Sam Kerr and Erin Cuthbert (2), leaving us at the top of our group with Real Madrid (H) and Paris FC (A) to play in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrina F. Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Proper curse now. Aggie Beever-Jones might nail that spot in her absence. Macario too if she’s back at 100%. Can’t help but feel this is a sliding doors moment now for the women’s team. Kerr is 30, an ACL at that age is rough. Emma Hayes leaving. Big decisions to nail ahead, or others who are catching up, will likely pounce.  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Honestly, I don't think it has been Sam's best season so far, though she's still top of the score charts in all comps. Hopefully, LJ and Aggie will be able to make up the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I haven't followed much but hardly anybody mentioning Fishel as an alternative. I'm assuming she has struggled in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she is young, and Hayes is known for introducing young players very gradually. The Kerr injury is gutting, can't help but feel she'll never get goal 100 now. Lot of slack for the other players to pick up if Hayes is going to leave on the high she deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Some Fishel highlights I saw in the summer looked really good although I'm not sure about the standard of the league where she played. As for Kerr, I really hope she makes a swift recovery and comes back stronger. One of the best players our club has seen, man or woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
