Sciatika Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Our last game is against Reading. I could imagine us getting a draw at Arsenal, which would knock them out of the running, and then and beating Reading and finding ourselves on equal points with Man United but winning on goal difference.

I must admit that I read the table slightly wrong before posting. I thought Arsenal were 3 points behind US, not United. I still think Arsenal will beat us, regardless of their injuries, but that we'll just about get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) This team has excellent resilience - we’ll get there. But the absence of Erickson and Harder will make next year more of a challenge. Edited May 18, 2023 by Blue Moon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing you forget about women's football is that there are other reasons for not being available to play and that a lot of the players are in relationships with teammates or rivals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note the confused emoji. My point being, Jane, that this simply doesn't happen in men's football. Players take time away from the game to have children. Players have relationships within the dressing room. It's a completely different dynamic. Two players deciding to leave at the same time and go to the same club elsewhere because they're in a relationship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 HT 2-0 Reiten, Eriksson Chelsea dominating, Arsenal playing on the counterattack have been dangerous, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely brilliant, committed performance from our girls! They have been by far the better team and have certainly dominated in a way I wasn't expecting! Just now, RDCW said: Absolutely brilliant, committed performance from our girls! They have been by far the better team and have certainly dominated in a way I wasn't expecting! And Erin Cuthbert, my favourite player, has hardly featured, such has been the possession dominance of the Blues. Arsenal have come out with some intent for the second half though!

Sciatika Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Arsenal had a spell (and a missed pen) but Chelsea came back into it. I thought Chelsea ran out of steam a bit, esp. Lauren James. Not surprising. Some subs helped, especially bringing in Jess Carter at LB and I always like to see Kadeisha Buchanan back in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thevelourfog Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Reading have to win to have any chance of staying up, so I'd expect they'll try backs to the wall until 70/80 minutes and then throw everything at it. It'd be suicide to come at us from kick off. We'll do it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans have been chanting 'we want you to stay' for months, but it was never going to change anything. It's been their plan pretty much since Pernille arrived. The original feeling was that they would head to Barca next but that doesn't seem to have materialised. I worry about Mags at Bayern. As a big name arrival she will start the season, but I can't see her retaining her place in the starting XI. Although she has been a regular for us recently, that's really because of defensive injuries. Prior to that she had lost her place in the team and mainly played as a fill in LB, or when another player was out. I can't see that being different in Munich.

CFCW Fan Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Anyone at the Select Car Leasing later? Looks set to be more Blues than Royals in the stadium. Surely this will go right today. If we win, we're champions. If we draw, we will probably be champions. If we loose we could still be champions. Looking forward to one more big day with the girls, and one more big result from them too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
