WSL Chelsea (A) - 16/11/24 - KO 17:30

[Inca Roads Bert]

No Hempo no football, no magic.

That said, Gary fucking Taylor, fucking useless incompetent ****, your plan to not win was executed to perfection.

Hasegawa too lightweight lost in the middle, with no help, underhit most of her passes.

What's the purpose of Fujino, other than start the chavettes counters?
FFS, Fowler, Kennedy, Ouahabi, do they know the basics of marking and passing. Two nil down and still passing backwards to the chavettes forwards.

Only Greenwood leaves the pitch with some credit.

Taylor Out!

 

[levets]

How long you been with her? When are you telling her?

Not my type in that regard

 

[hertsblue]

Title over.
Same issue throughout the group really, lots of possession and technically good players but no where near enough goals throughout the team

 

[Stoned Rose]

Taylor is still absolutely wank when it comes to a close game where tactics matter.

Has limited game management intelligence and fucks about taking too long for subs.

Whatever’s gone on between him and Chloe Kelly he needs to sort himself out cos he looks like a 7 year old now.

 

[waspish]

Have they won the league tonight??

Yes they are too and a game in hand play they don't lose games

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Only one way of playing, and more alarmingly only one pace of playing.

Yeah, obsessive possession is fine if yer can put away 50-75% of yer chances but we need ten goes to get one, and today we barely got half. The men's and women's team stroll about, foot tap the ball, stand stock still with it, tap it again and all the time the opposition only have to do one thing and that amounts to fuck all. It's easy to play against.

 

[WestGorton]

Kelly looks likely to move on to me.

 

[Mr HJ]

Should have a subbed off Fujino and Fowler for Kelly & Murphy at 0-0

Kelly has been shocking for a while - the issue is we look not so great when we miss 2 of our first team starters. Murphy would have been a good shout as she seems fearless and fast. Viv also a big game player missing sadly.

Biggest issue today was we gave them too much respect and they were more than happy that most of our possession build up was through Kennedy. Chelsea looking as though they think it's over - well it isn't and we will beat this shower at home - they are playing full of confidence & that can change with an injury or 2.

Kelly far better than Fujino and not Coombes, Murphy should have been on for Fowler. Would have terrorised Bronze with her pace and directness

This is the problem though - last year when Bunny got injured it was made for Kelly to help win games but she disappeared and so far this year when she has played it looks as if she wants to leave. This is not the Chloe Kelly of 2 years ago - these are the small margins. She needs to leave and we need to get Hemp, Laia and Viv fit.

Mary and Aoba are both very young but they seem to be lacking a bit of confidence when one on one - I don't think our fullbacks help them, there was no overlaps today and a lot of passes went back & sideways.

Overall we lost today because our big centre back is not capable of dominating a centre forward like Bright handled Bunny.

 

[blue whippet]

We look further away from Chelsea on that performance than we did last season.

So disappointed when he was given another contract instead of biting the bullet and getting a decent coach in.

He inspires nothing imo and his indecision is just frankly pathetic.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Have they won the league tonight??

Not far off. You lose one game and it could be enough, and we've lost one and drawn one. And if we lost last year on GD we're four points down! Mind, all four points are away, while the point v The Arse was a positive!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Have they won the league tonight??

Probably.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Kelly looks likely to move on to me.

I can't see her stopping. She's barely had any time this season, and every player needs a run of games to get into gear. We are not getting the best out of her whilst she sits on the bench. And when she comes on she won't be a bundle of joy with ten mins or so to drag a game back.

To be fair , you can't blame her . Even tonight, she gets chucked on when we have two nil down , then she's put on the left wing , when really she's a right winger . And it does seem like she's not part of Taylor's plans. I expect her to go January.

 

[gray740]

How does Taylor keep his job ? anywhere else he would be toast !

Agreed. I think she lost a mini yard after the injury. Too much media perhaps as well.

I get what you're saying about Kelly but xhe is capable of taking on her wo-man and making something happen.....and it only needed to be once
Hopefully, can beat Hamerby and qualify for the CL last 8

We have a good squad of players and you hope you have the best game plan, the best tactics and the best game management, but when the chips are down it's only the good squad that is apparent.

 

[kev20971]

Personally I've always wondered how much the club is committed to the women's team ?
Because wouldn't you be looking for the best management you ?
I sometimes think , the women's team is good PR exercise for the club

Chelsea Women are the equivalent of our Mens team
