Well good for you , but I still stand by what I say !
Nice looking stadium maybe great in Southern Spain, but not really in the North West of England. Give me any None League cowshed any day !
Hyde's Ewen Fields , watched Reserves and a odd women game ,was a lot better then watching at the CFA stadium

Hi home and have a fucking bovril
 
Even that spat about the CFA stadium was utter shite……
Need a great performance against Liverpool from Pep’s boys to rescue this Sunday. Get in there City!!
 
Just back from the game West Ham nothing special but when they got a chance they took it, second goal down to out messing about at the back.

The women should play basic football out to the wings and into the box, most of the keepers are useless.
 
That game started off as a football match and ended as a pantomime, and it ain't even Christmas. I think I'll email GT in the week and see if there's a chance of him refunding my petrol! I'll stand the ticket price!

I'd like to say we played poorly but it didn't quite reach those heights. Somebody posted that West Ham were nothing special, but they had stamina to chase us down, ambition to press us anywhere on the pitch, skill to play the ball quickly and effectively and someone who could finish off when the chances came - Groundhog day! Mirror image of the Tottenham game, but we didn't get a goal.

We take all day to get the ball up the field and a bit longer to get it into the oppo area. Contrast that with the urgency and dynamism of opposition teams who seem to understand that the penalty areas are spaces for reward or disaster. I think we have forgotten that lesson!

We didn't have an ounce of luck, mind, but you shouldn't be looking to have luck as yer main provider. The midfield came nowhere near the performance from the second half v Leicester. Their goalkeeper probably had the most charmed life of any keeper this weekend. Time and again she took to palming the ball away for it drop into space inside the area and we didn't have a blue boot in the vicinity.

We scored an offside goal, and I was yelling at Ellen White to get onside for fifteen seconds prior to the pass. She'd have been offside whenever the ball had been passed! We had shots whistling past the post and the crowd jumped for one only to see the ball roll round the back of the net. And then we smack a post.

That game, any previous season, would have been a comfortable win, but I think it's gonna be symptomatic of our season and it's an easy win followed by a struggle!

We have to jettison the idea of the notion of the Great God Possession! We play out from the back and opposition teams know we are vulnerable and we have a few seconds where slide rule passes are needed to get us out of the shit we've waded into! Nothing wrong with clattering it upfield!

And what's this 'captain' stuff about. Greenwood captain on Wednesday and Ellen White today. When's it Keira's turn?

Whoever it is, I doubt the club can keep it “in house” like they tried with Taylor. Need someone who has experience within the womens game.

What's Phil Neville doing these days?

Absolute shite.....again. Relegation battle this season. Demi Stokes sums up just how much this squad have deteriorated. Not a single City player came out of that shambles with any credit. Our worst result ever??

Considering the opposition I would think I haven't seen a worse outcome from 90 mins of football!

We need somebody who will act like a captain on the pitch and do some shouting and bawling. When White went of she gave the armband to Stokes who offered it to Greenwood who didn’t seem to want it.
 
The decline in the Women's team needs to be addressed - its not just the injury list - the squad looked both lost and unhappy. I'm not usually one to call for the manager's head but unfortunately i don't think Taylor has this.

The way they are playing in some games, the injuries, and the results we are getting, the season is already a write off. We won't get near Chelsea in the FAC Semi final.

I've not seen any of today's game, but that is a very poor result, and can't be hidden.

We can't underestimate the contribution the injured players make, but the starting eleven today, even with the makeshift back four, should have been more than WHU could have coped with, but when yer play in slo-mo it doesn't half make it easy for even run-of-the-mill teams. I bet Tottenham and West Ham would have been happy to come away with a point but they must be laughing all the way down the motorway with three apiece.

If the team is playing to GT's instructions he needs to rapidly change the game plan, and if they are ignoring his instructions then he needs to be bollocking a few!

There are some aspects of the play that I find just mystifying. Our throw-ins never seem to come to anything but the need for more defensive work on our part, no matter where the throw-in was, and just why do a substantial number of our passes just get passed back to the person who just passed to you? There were ample opportunities this afternoon, despite the WH pressing, to turn, face forward and take the ball into the oppo half, engage the midfield and then on into the areas where the opposition have to show their mettle. But we receive the ball from the goalie, and it's passed back to her, JS rushes out sideways and the WH forwards are in for a kill, we squirt the ball out somehow and then along comes a misplaced pass. I think I have seen more misplaced passes this season than in the last two put together.

This needs to happen, formations, in game tactics and substitutions are woeful. I get it injuries and luck haven’t exactly been on our side but still I can’t remember us being this low before…..
 
the manger will be sacked this week and its been coming for weeks
something is not right with the ladies setup and forget the injuries its the style and fitness of the players

i think its something with it been a male manager and the respect and questioning of some of the players
do the ladies think well its a women game and a male manager can be full on when it comes to the questioning them
just like a woman in the mans game it would not feel right if the lady manager was going nuts about a player or players

let the ladies game be full-on ladies only because its a different game or sport to the men's ?
like it or not the ladies game is so different and should be seen as a ladies sport
 
Taylor will be gone by Wednesday. The owners will not be happy. That was very poor today very sad to watch.

She scored today but the muppet was offside by a yard as soon as the player who passed to her had the ball, and the latter took about ten or fifteen seconds to make the pass. I yelled at White to get back on but I was on the wrong side of the pitch! She never looked down the line to see where she was. Perhaps she had a vision that she was Nicolas Anelka!
