Lucy and Demi pound for pound I reckon are the 2 fittest players at the club at all levels. Never stop running.

Keira Walsh has gone under the radar but a shout for poty.

Every good team has a workhorse that few notice and everyone takes for granted. Keira is that player - works hard, breaks up play and is an unsung hero.
 
I don't really think of Keira as a workhorse as she simply has too much quality for such a description. Works hard and breaks up play of course but she reads the game so well and almost always makes the right decision on the ball whether it's a simple sideways pass or even backwards to settle a situation down but often is a neat forward pass to get us going.

Lucy for certain was potm and so deserving to score the winning goal. Excellent in all the defensive side of the game but arguably out best attacking threat today as well, and not for the first time. The team looked tense and maybe it was after the lord mayors show as it took quite a while to get going at all. As ever though our goal virtually never came under threat and it looking worrying that we lacked any incisiveness in the last 3rd. Still a well deserved win and a great double in only the team's 3rd season.

Now for Europe.

I think we've been tense the last few matches to be honest. That should hopefully be gone now and they can get back to how they were earlier in the season.

You're spot on with Keira.
 
If we have had a weakness of late it's been up front - Ross despite getting goals doesn't lead the line that well. Duggan works hard and on the left - think we look better with Asslani on the right - better control. Walsh and Chritiansan totally outshine Scott in the middle of the park.

A suprisingly weak game for Jill today but as ever no lack of effort. Nobody really got anything right in the final third today. Just that lack of composure thing again and the crossing of the ball was simply dire. I agree re Jane today as her touches and control were not good. Two games in a row where she hasn't been at her best but overall she has been very good for the team this season.
 
Champions League game on Thursday, is it on live TV anywhere ? I see 5live sports extra is covering it, but any TV ? It would be interesting to see the difference between the levels.
 
It's at a different level as you would expect. However, the technical ability and fitness levels are very good. Last season (men) the women's team could cross a ball better than the men's. The back 4 know what they are doing, do it well and look like a unit.
 
I have never heard of this Russian team. I've heard of Perm, as in Perm-afrost! I would like to see the women get past this side and entertain one of the top Euro women's team. I think English women's football is a good bit to go before it can compete with those on the continent
