UWCL Hammarby IF Fotbollförening v CITY (A), Thursday 21st Nov 2024, 17-45PM.

A good win against a physical side. Keating, Hasegawa and Fowler very good. What can we say about Bunny? Her all round pay was great today, thank goodness she was playing as I am not sure we would have scored without her.
 
Sorry, but first five minutes you think, “Wow, that's some support by the Hammerby fans”. About twenty minutes of it, you're thinking “Jesus, but this is monotonous. And it's got nothing whatever to do with the game“. By the end you're suicidal. You just want the game to stop, almost regardless of the score, to stop that unending mantra.
 
A win, which is the most important thing, of course, but this Hammarby side are better than many predicted. They crumbled away v Barcelona - and we still have to go there (eek!) - but they’ve bounced back in terms of their performances and their crowd are certainly passionate. If only we could get that atmosphere when we play in the Etihad.

We were generally solid defensively, a tough start for Gracie at RB though but she held her own and will develop with matchday experience. Bunny took her goals superbly and some fine saves from Kiara at the other end too. Good to see Chloe get more minutes, but I prefer her on the right with Mary on the left. I’m still not sure about Aoba and really do want her to do well, but should she really be starting ahead of CK?

Glad we didn’t get a needless red from a ref who booked Bunny for being hit by a coin thrown by an idiot in the home crowd!

It’s not quite the Play up for Burnley chant, but it gets to the point where you wish there were vuvuzelas there!
 
Outstanding performances from Bunny & Khiara (that double save, wow!). Other than her finishing, I thought Fujino had a good game and linked up with Park really well at times. Not going to have a go at Prior as she was playing out of position and they targetted that side repeatedly. Wonder if Fowler has ever played at full-back before (she's becoming the new Georgia Stanway in being asked to fill in at multiple positions).

With those 2 goals Bunny now becomes our top scorer in the Champions league. Congrats to her on that.
