Women's Team - 2021/22

[PannickAtTheDisco]

I don't get the point of the CFG if we aren't going to treat every team as their only purpose as being the best they can be. The Women's team comes across as an afterthought because we give the job to one of the boys instead of paying to have the best coaching team possible and the best squad within the salary cap possible with the best academy talent. Same with Girona, same with New York etc. Either put your money where your mouth is or get off the pot. Sick of half-hearted effort at board level at this club.

I always thought Taylor was an odd appointment. Really thought we should have gone for a top female coach when Cushing moved on. It’s a bit of an insult to the women’s team that we use it as a training ground to develop a coach - if we are serious about dominating women’s football…. We need a top coach.

To be fair he is very good at standing with his arms folded or hands on hips

Heads need to roll. Not reaching the CL proper is an embarrassing return. We're regressing at an alarming rate under the current coaches.

i think your spot on
we don't seem to be the team/squad we was 2 or 3 seasons ago. the shape and our passing is poor at times
maybe its time to rethink about the manager and coaches and start a fresh

i know what your going to say injuries and what about the win at everton ?
well to be fair everton are not in the same league money wise being splashed about on the team ? city have spent big money of players and wages in the WSL and should be winning tonight game easy

Just like City players at corners….now it makes sense.

Two mediocre performances over both legs. We had enough opportunities to win the game tonight but, unlike the EFC game, they wouldn't go in. We hit the top of the bar and put a couple acrobatically wide and the gift of a chance, laid on by Real, when we had two players and an open net, was passed out of danger by our own!!

I thought that Real were tactically and technically superior, and probably over the two legs deserved the tie. They pressed us mercilessly after the goal, but we never made any attempt to close them down in the first half and just let them bring the ball to the halfway line. And how many passes did we make straight to a Real player?

And we had another weirdo with a whistle. It wasn't that some of the decisions were bizarre, they were outrageous. If she is an example of the cream of European women refs, and Uefa's elite, then the game is in a sorry state. Was Lauren Hemp booked for diving or mouthing off at the ref. From where I was she was sandwiched between two defenders.

Taylor needs to go. Make him assistant or something and hire the equivalent of Guardiola in the womens game.

Why invest so much in the team only have average coach? Really dont understand. Much prefer to have weaker team but much better coach. But I think City can have both in the womens game.

A sandwich that must have fallen out of Bunny Shaw’s lunch box. Rarely seen such an unfit player in a City shirt. Does not bode well for this season. Chelsea, Arsenal and even the Rags would have got through this fixture with ease.

One target now.

Win every domestic trophy.


As others have pointed out if CFG want the best for our ladies then we go looking for the best coaches of that game and not use it as a stepping stone for the boys at the club.

Tonight has pissed me right off.

I thought City should have snapped up Casey Stoney when she left United, she was very impressive tactically and able to motivate her players.

NYCFC Results past few years. They are getting closer, MLS is very difficult division to win. They still don't even have their own stadium ffs.


Womens team past few years. Chelsea and Lyon are very strong, its tough to keep your best players in the womens game. Consistently challenging is very impressive.

Girona have been in the La Liga since we took over, the first time in their history and they are a very small team who just struggled in their second season and got relegated.

I am not sure what is half-hearted there.

I note you didn't mention Melbourne City who won the premier league last year? and the Melbourne City Women are the most successful team in Australia since 2015.

How about Montevideo and Yokohama F. Marinos who won the league in 2019?

Mumbai City who won the league last year?
