If you want to see an outstanding, never to be repeated own goal then it's only City who could accomplish it. Feel a little sympathetic for Abbie Mc - she could have done several things with that ball but chose the one which I think fastens into the manager's instructions - possession. Keep the ball at all costs. Well, it's just cost the most comical goal I've not seen since I waltzed around the playing fields of Manchester - Hough End, Debdale, Greenbank, Plant Hill Park - keeping the peace with the surreptitious blowing of my whistle! But, hey, these are elite women professionals. But it does highlight that too many of the women's passes are directed backwards or parallel with the goal lines when a move lacks the players to go forward, or where the mentality to go forward isn't kept to the fore. I've watched fair bit of women's football over the last three or four seasons and no other teams plays this way!
