Only managed to get a link for the 2nd half , but we didn't look dangerous at all , agree Lauren Hemp looked our best player and seemed the only one to cause Athletico any problems. But to fair to Athletico, they worked hard closing down and breaking up the play and also looked dangerous on the break . End of the day City just wasn't good a enough!
We dominated possession throughout for me, and had a very bright start when Ellen White had a couple of chances, 1 shot wide, and another cleared off her toe, she also had the second half one that was saved.

I thought Atletico were typical european opposition (men and women sadly), and they'd sooner hit the floor than play football (if that's breaking up play, and the idiot with the whistle fell for it every time), they did look dangerous on the break though I agree.

What I seen in the 2nd half , Athletico worked very hard closing down , yes gamesmanship is a big part of European football (and ours now too , Southampton wasting time from the first minute last night !) But we've seemed to have got backwards as a team , with some players looking the shadows of themselves, ie Keira Walsh and others .
 
I thought she worked hard tonight, but she wanted out in the summer so maybe her heart isn't all in it ? While the FA continue to limit their pay the best will always want out.
Some wrong when a City fan wanted out of City , Also yes salary cap plays apart , but it's not stopped Chelsea or Arsenal from signing some good foreign stars , Maybe the management run out of ideas and it's time for a fresh look at the club ?

She still wants out, the replacement is already lined up its a matter of if we can get her in this season or wait until summer.
 
As Kev says its shame that a "blue" wants out at all, but I doubt its City that's the cause, more that she knows she can go elsewhere and earn a proper decent living.
Yes, cant blame her at all she has to put herself first. The league want to improve yet teams like city have to downgrade players every season as we cant pay the wages to keep them.

It might be we are too quick to sign up England players to replace our better players who leave. But its fairly obvious if you bring an England squad player in to replace an England starter that you are going to go backwards.
 
Even before our better players started going abroad we had problems in the goal scoring department.

The team constantly created chances but the finishing was abysmal, they just could not find the female equivalent of Aguero.

Now with the loss of Bronze, Duggan, Christiansen and Parris the team are creating less chances and the finishing is still abysmal.

I hope we can get Ellen White fully fit and playing regularly.
 
I thought it was a bit ridiculous that they had to play Sunday afternoon then Tuesday evening, both big games.

I fiddled unsuccessfully
You needed to change your IP address to a spanish one, this can be achieved if you search how online there are apps that run in your browser, I use it watch some lower league german games, it wasn't easy finding a spanish one though.
