All game Hemp had the beating of the defender, but she's driven to the byline for the cutback, which has been cut out 90% of the time.
I was thinking, earlier, why doesn't she feint to cross and check. That's exactly what Fowler did to deliver that cross for the goal!
I understand what Guardiola means by "football intelligence", properly now. Just to change it up if it's not working! Hemp didn't do that all game when she has that ability to.
Frustrating when she's such a good player!

From the OS: Two unfortunate own goals from Reading defender Emma Mukandi handed us a commaning lead before Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw continued her impressive from in front of goal.
One own goal is unfortunate: two is just bloody careless.

What? D'you mean you don't want to know what colour of boots every single one of ours players were wearing today?That commentator on FA player. A robot would have more personality. Have had to put it on mute.

I thought there were some big improvements today personally, much less going sideways and backwards, more pace and more direct going forwards, less faffing about at the back putting us in danger.
Yes 2 of our goals were own goals, and we should have scored more really, 19 shots doesn't include 2 of our goals, 5 on target.
Stand out players for me, Morgan, made us look more solid at the back, Hasegawa, Hemp, Raso, Casperaj, and Shaw tried very hard and deserved her goal.

The first was a big error, should have left it, we wouldn't have scored, the second was very unfortunate, the keeper just palmed a Hemp cross, and she had no chance of getting out of the way, and I supect we would have scored anyway.From the OS: Two unfortunate own goals from Reading defender Emma Mukandi handed us a commaning lead before Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw continued her impressive from in front of goal.

I hope Esme becomes a tower of strength at the back. Was she in the back four? Looked from the line up on the OS she was starting as one of the CB's.I thought there were some big improvements today personally, much less going sideways and backwards, more pace and more direct going forwards, less faffing about at the back putting us in danger.

Yes and captain. I thought she played like Steff about 4 or 5 years ago.I hope Esme becomes a tower of strength at the back. Was she in the back four?

Agree totally, a good post - I think the build up play looked much better without Greenwood at centre half to be honest. Recently we've given away many soft goals by the constant passing back and forth to the goalkeeper then looking for a long cross field low percentage pass. Esme was constantly looking to thread the passes between the lines which put us on the front foot. She had a great game and looked very good next to Aleix. Thought Sandy looked composed too.I thought there were some big improvements today personally, much less going sideways and backwards, more pace and more direct going forwards, less faffing about at the back putting us in danger.

I've thought for a while that all of our England players aside from Lauren have been playing poorly and they all need to do more - example when Chloe came on she lost possession time and again trying flicks and taking on shots that were not on. They are good players but need to realise the hype from the Euro's is over and now it's time to work again!
Hopefully they can push on and as the new players get more time together we can challenge the very top.
