Ref giving them ABSOLUTELY everything

 

[tregyblue61]

To get a break in play, fall down. Red shirts that is.

 

[tregyblue61]

Russo again

 

[gray740]

The Arsenal way ,fall over rinse repeat....

Ref giving them ABSOLUTELY everything

They are throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity. As bad as the men’s team.

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

Ref should put on a red shirt

 

[chesterbells]

Our passing is off here

 

[Mr HJ]

Ref is a homer no doubt but we are losing the battle down the middle where we are too lightweight - L B-B is getting pushed off the ball too easily and all their threat is coming from simple straight passes. Just need to hang in and we will get chances.

I'd get Coffey on for LBB

100%

 

[Mr HJ]

Great save there - we are losing battles all over the place now - need to get Coffey on at halftime and maybe Grace to carry the ball better.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

Rotation is key and we didn’t rest Hasegawa when we had results going our way. It’s no surprise that she looks leggy today

 

[Ray bloody Purchase]

It’s like the London City game, started off quite well, all ok, then the first 2 that completely disappear Hasagawa and Blinky brown, , it seems Bunny has decided that if she isn’t scoring no one else is, she has been beyond selfish
Not the end of the world and can still be salvaged but we need to make changes as the midfield is lost

 

[Vienna_70]

Great save by Yama!

She'll be gone for a few games soon

 

[Earlyriser]

Bunny is doing her Haaland impression

 

[chesterbells]

She'll be gone for a few games soon

Yeah, just had a look, Villa and Spurs think we lose players to the Asian Cup.

 

[Alex6691]

This Arsenal press is going to tire them out especially after playing 120 mins last week. Need to get Coffey into midfield and start keeping hold of the ball and the chances will come second half

 

[Mr HJ]

We are rattled a bit and need halftime - our middle is far too weak. Good job Jade has got great pace and thanks to Yama we are still in this - need changes - a good test of Andree to out coach Arsenal. We can change this and it's only 1-0.

One thing I do know is how shite Arsenal fans and players are - keep falling down, cue booing and remonstrations - the ref is allowing them to get away with a few tackles yet penalising every one of ours.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Worst the Women's Team have played in a while that. Gave the ball away for fun, carried no threat going forwards and getting utterly bullied in midfield. Lucky not to be 2 or more down tbh.

Need to get Coffey on for Blinkilde-Brown though Hasegawa has been a non-entity as well. Kerolin has barely touched the ball and Shaw and Hemp totally marginalised.

Greenwood needs to stop letting the attacking player back her down to within 5 yards of her own goal as well.

Luckily we've a ton of points in hand but this looks like it maybe a game too far. Let's see what we've got in terms of character - time to get off the mat and fight back here. Interested to see how we respond as we got bullied there.
