Women's Football Thread 2024/2025

Agree but having said that it was McCabe who was sent off so in my eyes she deserved it. Chelsea won't be caught, they are the best team in the league but they did show some vulnerability today. Our loss against Leigh valley, and Everton still grates.

They will probably improve defensively now though that they've completed the signing of American international Girma for a world record fee.

Just saw the double booking. Looks pretty justified to me...

Agreed pal.

The penalty, esp that last angle, looked nailed on, and the double booking it’s fairly clear she gave the ref a mouthful so no arguments their either imho.

It's Arsenal, they've never been given a red card they've deserved.

No commentators in the WSL complaining about Chelsea dominance.

To be fair I've seen this brought up a fair few times. I think most agree it isn't good for the competition for it to basically sewn up in December.

Of course, the answer in Chelsea women's case is pretty similar to that of City's men's. Whilst they have a lot of spending power, their dominance is down to the fact they've been the best run club with the best manager and the best purchases in recent years. City and Arsenal have made it far too easy for them in recent years.

I don't usually follow womens football but what's this nonsense that SSN are running this morning about Chloe Kelly?

The amount of top players we lost since Taylor took over should worry Man City

So the Euros aren’t that important to her.

 

[Brad mcfc]

She should've gone to Brighton if shes worried about her Euros place, obviously she wants to go to United, Why should City let her go to a rival? poor planning from City if we let her go on the last day IMO.

Do Salford have a ladies team? Send her there instead.

It did about 2 years ago but i think recruitment and retention has turned around now. I still don't think he's a great coach and i'd like us to upgrade, but we've brought in better players and gotten better players to sign extensions since Bronze, Walsh, Stanway and Weir left. Walsh is probably the only who would be worth a place in our squad now.

Keira Walsh to chelsea too now.

Double the fee we got for her and she now appears twice in the list of top 6 highest transfer fees paid in women's football. Chelsea will have the top 2 in this window alone yet not a peep about it being bad for competition from the media.

I see that Georgia Stanway is in danger of missing the Euro's. Had knee surgery after picking up an injury in training. Tore her lateral ligament in the right knee. Bayern saying she will be out for several months.

She also has a personal issue taking her to Chelsea in.my opinion. City will be aware they cannot compete.
