City Women - Champions and Continental Cup Winners 2016.

[Craig]

I'm not sure how much the bookies knew about them, but bookie odds are based on the numbers betting, and in the UK those betting (and I imagine it was very few to be fair) would be backing City, as they will have seen us play.

Those that know about women's football (and I've no idea about it outside of watching our girls) seemed to think it was a tough draw for us, because they normally get to the last 16, and we've never played in the competition before.

I thought they were pretty poor, but their game plan was a 0-0, and they didn't seem able to change it once we scored, I think we'll score away, so that makes their task much harder, and we rarley concede, so we should progress.

No mate betting on women's football is very big business so their knowledge of them would have been very good and the odds compiled well or they'd lose a fortune. Agree that we'll score again over there though so we should have no problem going through. To be honest I think the Russians would struggle to play any other way against us but if they do come out in an attempt to turn it round then I think we'll win by 3 or 4 as were are far superior to them.

I am not up to date so is this a 2 legged round - home and away ?. Winner progresses to next round ?.

Very one sided game and if they showed anything like their true ability we should stroll through this tie. But it's an away game in Russia so nothing is a given but we seriously would have to bottle it to get knocked out. I would say they would be lower mid table at best in our WSL.

Keira again was class. Been running the show all season.

Would we have scouted them extensively? Wonder if the resources go that far.

I would like to wish all the squad of the ladies football tem all the best of luck for the 2nd leg over in Russia next Wednesday.

Chuffed to bits for the girls.
Lucy Bronze might as well replace our Zabman at the right flank

Team off to the 2nd leg against Zvezda Perm. If this is how the womens team travel, then how do the 1st team go?

I would imagine they do it in exactly the same way, though it will be a fuller plane as they will also have the youngsters on their plane.

Anyone know if we can follow this anywhere ?

I don't think so, I can only see the CL games at Bayern, Wolfsburg, Lyon and PSG on the satellite TV site.
