Leicester are the archetypal athletes' team. Run all day, challenge when they need to, denying space, and we seem to rely on the textbook approach when a little bit of 'risk' is needed, something that wrongfoots the entire Leicester defence, and Hemp's gone off!We now have Fowler, Meidama and Shaw on so let's see what happens.
Do 'risk' and Taylor go together?Leicester are the archetypal athletes' team. Run all day, challenge when they need to, denying space, and we seem to rely on the textbook approach when a little bit of 'risk' is needed, something that wrongfoots the entire Leicester defence, and Hemp's gone off!
Hahaha, they never have. Wonder if the players have been told NO FUCKIN' RISKS OR YER HOOKED!Do 'risk' and Taylor go together?
And, already shown a raise in quality - a great first touch, very excited to see her and Jill in the same side. Worry is how is Taylor going to fit all these forward players in. For me you have to play Mary, Lauren, Viv and Bunny. I do also like the look of Aoba. Of the academy group best one looks to be Cody Thomas.Here comes Viv!
Agree about Cody Thomas she has looked strong and read the game well.And, already shown a raise in quality - a great first touch, very excited to see her and Jill in the same side.

The shitty level is universal!more utterly shit refereeing - the womens game is littered with these incompetents
I've had more 'n my fair share of pens that the refs have fucked off and chalked them off as 'a coming together'! There's barely a game goes by without a pen goin' begging! The pen we got was down as a goal kick to start with FFS, and then there was the foul on Harland in the first halfI have had enough of pens already, mens team, eds and now womens team.
That could be the best starting eleven in the league, but what will Taylor do with them. When we first went to the Academy from the Athletics stadium we had a couple of seasons of beautiful, flowing, pacy football, but latterly, despite the results, it has been trying to open a can 'o beans without a tin opener. Today was another example of all possession without an edge! I suspect PSG will be the other finalists and we'd have to inject something into the game beside passing across the back!Yamashita - 3 fantastic saves kept us in the game when the changes made us look exposed & brilliant in the pen shootout. We are turning Japanese - great stuff. Viv was quality - add Roord & Alexi and we may do something great this year.
This would be my first choice 11 after watching the Olympics and today (when all are fit) - tough on Jess and Khiara but they are young and will get chances. Don't know how Chloe will feel about it but we cannot afford to lose Mary Fowler or Laia as many clubs would be in for them.

Casparij - Laia - Greenwood - Leila/Tara
Roord - Yui - Meidema
Hemp - Bunny - Fowler
