I take it you didn't watch the game v chelsea then ?
There's no way that we'll get relegated, far too many very good players, the squad needed refreshing, and it looks to have been done very well to my eyes.
Yeah, I watched the snippet on the OS of City-2-0 CFC when we won the title and whilst other teams have strengthened and have coaches who are not just name-pickers but who are tacticians and can improve players, we seem to have regressed dreadfully since that season, despite having quality players.I did watch the whole game funny enough, we were toothless and lack of ideas in opening them up plus the defence panicking and silly stuff even from Houghton with a crazy back pass we got away with, city ladies looked like the England men team, looking for corner and free kicks to score from and little idea from open play, it was target football with hitting bunny and play from there with the 2nd ball.
We are a shadow of the team we were and lack any sort of style and don't look comfy on the ball and players don't want the ball and go hiding
It’s alright. We’re allowed to dream right…for the sake of the women’s team, I do hope it becomes a reality…Taylor leaving that is.Sorry mate, would have left it if I'd known I was getting anyone's hopes up like that!
Bronze has had loads of criticism on here, but along with Walsh and Hemp she was comfortably one of the biggest parts of how we played in possession. She's clearly miles past her best but you look at any of the stats or read analysis from people outside the City bubble and there's a reason people think it's a big loss, it's not just because she's a big name, there's a massive hole on the right compared to the last couple of years!
I don't disagree about the signings looking pretty good, so far anyway, but surely you judge any refresh by how both parts of it are handled? i.e. if we've botched the outgoings (and that doesn't exactly look great) the incomings need to be even better to make up for it
You mean you're not excited to see us choosing between a 34 year-old Steph Houghton and Alanna Kennedy?!
I never knew that. She probably does have a very good idea of the state of play then.She's Vicky Losada's partner too so probably does have decent idea of what's going on!
