UWCL Qualifying tournament - City OUT - lost 1-0 to Real Madrid

Looked like the defence were the issue. This obsession with attacking fullbacks that cannot defend!!! Never seen Ellie have to make so many crucial saves in a match.
 
Not good enough and Madrid arent anything special.
Squad has gone backwards in last 2 years and falling further behind Arsenal and Chelsea.
I remain totallly unconvinced on the coach - his team selections, and his substitions in particular, are puzzling on too many occasions.
Do not threaten or look like scoring against better opposotion.
God forbid when the time comes for Hemp to leave.
Another European blow out.

I think he has other priorities, which is fair enough.
 
Ellie Roebuck has kept the score down - two brilliant saves in the last ten minutes. From what I’ve watched - apart from hitting the post - we have been a poor second best. Would this be a fair assessment??
It's eminently fair. Second best all over the pitch. They were more organised, more skilful, they could both control and pass the ball, they were more adventurous. I thought we were outplayed, had the occasional little flash but no more than that.
 
Chelsea and Arsenal are way ahead of us. Better coaches and better squads. Better Academy setups and better foreign transfers.
This could be the season that we finish 4th in the WSL and win absolutely nowt. Hope that I’m wrong but for all those imports to gell is a big ask.
Emma Hayes would manage this without any problems but we have Gareth Taylor in charge…….
 
Have we retained Steph Houghton in a coaching role?

The lionesses showed that if you have a coach that understands the women's game you will be successful. I don't understand why our board doesn't get it?
 
I think Walsh is more likely to leave after that.
I think that you are correct. It would be awful - a true Blue - but perfectly understandable. In another team she would have won the Champions League and Ballon D’or but she remained loyal to MCFC.
Can I nominate Keira and Steph Houghton for statues??
