Women's Team - 2021/22

[Bigga]

I can understand Losada being left out of some games in the first half of the season when she didn’t look fully fit. Now her conditioning is improved it seems strange to leave out our star signing and a top class international

we dot have enough but without Stanway in the team and she gets her share of goals as a midfielder. Georgia looked like she was develooping into a progressive midfielder who could do her defensive duties and also launch attacks and chip in with some important goals. Playing a limited holding midfielder role doesn’t give enough to tue team.

We really need some aerial power at both ends of the pitch. We are fairly weak defending crosses and we don’t carry much of a threat at set pieces either.

Also, Park needs to learn to attack the back post when Hemo is getting to the opposite byline

Stanway playing a Ferna/ Rodri position shouldn't stop her weighing in with goals as we know with the men! Entirely dependant on the mid support, there, and Weir would not suit being alongside Stanway in that scenario, where Losada would, being interchangeable.

I agree about the aerial defending. It's Keystone cops-ish, more often than not!

I think with Park, it's a difficult one as quality of crossing is 50/ 50, so knowing where to be is a lottery!

Looking at the stats I would have thought that we should have got summat from that game. It's the inability to turn small opportunities into a result.

Not seen the stats but I thought Chelsea didn't do much and I think their keeper was busier then Ellie Roebuck. But what Chelsea did do well ,was closing down our play especially our star players. But saying that the lack of any urgency of about 75mins on our part plus not having that little bit of luck in the box cost us today.

Like the guy Everton hired and then fired?

Not sure what a messy club such as Everton has anything to do with us. They were recently chasing Roberto Martinez to come back and save them, and that says a lot. City wouldn’t hire Kompany to coach the men’s team, even though he was an excellent footballer and extremely popular with the fans. Is that because men’s football is a serious business and women’s football is for public relations and image enhancement? If the Club hires players such as Houghton or Jill Scott who know nothing about coaching, yet they are popular among fans, then the Club will further support that women’s football is essentially for public relations. Regardless of what happened at Everton, and I don’t care about Everton, we should hire an experienced individual with an outstanding reputation of leading women football teams to success. We are definitely capable of doing that, if we really want. Then, Houghton and/or Jill Scott, if they are interested, could join the coaching staff to learn.

Mentioning Losada not being picked reminds me of the way that Rose Lavelle was hardly used last season. Fantastic player for the US whenever I have watched her and virtually ignored by Taylor.

Unless there was another issue, she just didn't get the minutes to influence the team.

You know this is a woman's team football thread right?

So go and look at the Everton Ladies team, the manager they hired and then fired inside a season.

Many people in this thread thought he would have been a great replacement for Taylor, that's why I brought up Everton and their now sacked manager.

So you wasted a bit of your life with that rant about normal male football, I mean, I thought it would be fucking obvious myself but hey ho :)

Ps as for Houghton and Scott I also did say coaches, COACHES, then that would lead to progression in the future, you know like it does in REAL football and on that score if that is what you think about ladies football why are you even posting in this thread?

But yeah thanks for all your input, much appreciated.

£72 for corporate on Sunday is ludicrous.

By replying to you I wasted a bit of my life? What a strange concept! And it was not a rant, but if it makes you happy, it was. Again, in case you missed it, what happened at Everton doesn’t mean any thing to us. One sure thing, what happen at Everton doesn’t mean that hiring Houghton or Jill Scott will work at City; with any logic it won‘t. I agree with you, replying to you is a waste, better to ignore you.

You were the one wittering about Everton's men's team for some weird reason.

Everton woman's team hired what people thought was the best manager around from Lyon the best woman team around, that is why it was relevant if you don't understand that then what can I say?

Hiring the best doesn't always pan out hence my original comment.

Then, Houghton and/or Jill Scott, if they are interested, could join the coaching staff to learn.

Also, you do realise that Scott is already a coach at City, right?

You got the wrong end of the stick and then you climb on your high horse and lecture me why you were right anyway, whilst proving you know absolutely nothing.

lol

See the Continental Cup Final is to be played at Wimbledon, suppose it was to much to ask to play it in the North West somewhere. I.E. Stockport or Bolton.
