Women's Team - 2021/22

[bluealf]

I don’t rate Taylor but our dominance suggests he got some decisions right,as well as our players being too good for them

The question is...

How much better would we be with a better manager or even a competent one like Nick Cushing.

 

[BringBackSwales]

it's a great goal, but there's something fundamentally wrong with women's football if players are able to chip keepers from 30/40 yards because they're too short to easily save it because the goals are too big for them.

It's like school when you got to play with full size goals or just cones so you'd just twat it over the keeper's head and just claim a goal. Total mismatch.

Wtf is wrong with you? All the time you seem to be absolutely negative. If you suffer with clinical depression then you have my sympathy, if not then bore off

We deserve to have a top manager. That was not the issue today as Taylor was up to the job.We would have won comfortably, with decent finishing.

Enjoy a dominant win. There will be plenty of Opportunities on other days to point out Taylor’s deficiencies.

If it is fundamentally wrong why is it nearly a year to the day since she last did it?

I'm 5ft 7" and played in goal, I didn't get chipped to the best of my knowledge, certainly not as an adult anyway. I am sure the taller Roebuck will not be phased by full-size MEN's goals.

Either you can jump like a flea or you are susceptible to the chip.

I don’t think any ‘keeper, not even Ederson at his best, could have saved Caroline's shot today.

I’m not sure. I don’t think it was that high in the goal.

I‘d have to look at the rag keeper’s foot movements again.

Tell that to En-ger-land's 'Number One'.

That's the real joke!!

I think Weir has crafted a particular style of 'chip'.

It's not a usual up and under; it tends to slide away at an angle.

It's quite cultured and it helps she judged the touch, weight and spin needed in the wind.

A true thing of beauty that any man would have been proud of.

would have caught it one handed in his sleep.

One of the most beautiful goals you'll see all season, and twice as good for being a winner against the rags.

Well done City women and a great goal to win the game ....just what the doctor ordered !

 

[Mr HJ]

So pleased for the win - much needed but please City I implore you get a new manager for next year. Taylor said that today was a great advert for the women's game, what planet is he on. He will ruin some very promising players.

Taylor was an average striker at best and has now created a team in the image of his own play. We have some great players especially the younger ones. I look at how he uses some of his non favourite players and think what could have been if he actually picked a team on form and with a strategy in mind. Raso, Blakstad, Beckie, Losada, Mace & Shaw must wonder what they have to do to get consistent game time. For example Ellen White seems to be picked on her history and with England in mind - her club form is truly shocking and yet she is made captain - 1 goal every 8 games is just not good enough from your main striker. Rant over, happy rest of the weekend blues... ha!

"much needed" win ?

We've won 9 of the last 11 games, the only 2 we didn't win were chelsea A, and arsenal H, and you could make a case that we should have won against arsenal, and taken a point from chelsea last week. In the process we've scored 38 and conceded just 5 (and 2 of them were back in early December).

I'm not especially arsed about Taylor, but any other coach would getting praised, on the back of an injury crisis that took our best players for the first half of the season.

I don’t think you can judge the form of individuals on today’s game because, 1. it was a derby and 2. the conditions didn’t lend themselves to decent, free-flowing football.

Also, I don’t agree with you about the style of play. Despite the wind, we were passing ball along the deck and Hemp and Park were attacking their full-backs, almost at will.

Shaw has played a lot of games as the central striker. I don’t think it was a bad decision to play White today, given her experience and the scumbag opposition. Pep rotates the men's team; it’s not unreasonable to expect Gareth to do the same with the women.

I said before the substitution that I would take Losada off for Weir. I didn’t think Vicky was having a particularly good day. And what an inspired change it proved to be. Caroline's goal was an absolute cracker!

I think Taylor has had a lot to deal with this season, considering the number of injuries within the squad. They said in commentary that it was in double figures at one stage, and with that in mind, I think he deserves to be allowed to at least start next term in charge.

And the ragettes are fucking ugly.

They all look like North Carolina trailer trash meth heads. No offense to our American viewers.

They blend in well with their supporters on that score.

Gordon Banks was 5'10"! He wasn't bad and never got chipped either.

 

[JRockBlues]

Compare this year's goal to the one she scored last year.

I think that's fair. Played some good football today and were the better team and in my opinion the players are playing for him, although I also have been a critic this season.
