We still had several players out, including the England skipper, and the best winger in England, plus Esme Morgan, who would likely have started, not to mention Vicky Lusado.as I only watched the last 15 mins, the city was all over Chelsea, didn't give them time or room, but in the end all I heard was Chelsea had the best 3 players out, well hang on didn't the city have 7-8 players out for most of the season and are now just coming back, just like the men they bottled a league cup final
Definitely a game of two halves that one. We looked a little disjointed first half, sloppy passes and conceding possession. Second half the complete opposite and were deserved winners in the end. I do hope we use that to spur us on for the rest of the season. Under 18's beating that lot earlier, now the women winning the cup, all down to the men's team tomorrow now!
At halftime City had had more chances than Chelsea, a stonewall penalty not given and had hit the post, while having 60% possession?FIrst things first. To play that game on that pitch is a joke. Whoever was responsible for allowing a cup final to be played on a pitch that also hosts rugby wants shooting. It's utterly ridiculous. Never mind how the geography favoured Chelsea so much.
Just like the derby, we were shocking in the first half but managed to turn it around again with a much better 2nd half performance. Credit to the girls for keeping at it. Really good finish frm Weir for her 2nd which basically killed the game off for us. Some lovely corner flag shithousery towards the end too. The only proble is, is that enough to keep Taylor in a job for next year?
Anyway, well done MCWFC! Continental League Cup champions
Don’t say that, I was trying to relax!!!Definitely a game of two halves that one. We looked a little disjointed first half, sloppy passes and conceding possession.

No apparently only chelsea had players missing, it must be true I heard it several times on the bbcWe still had several players out, including the England skipper, and the best winger in England, plus Esme Morgan, who would likely have started, not to mention Vicky Lusado.
Poor old Chelsea.....
‘Depleted’ apparently…No apparently only chelsea had players missing, it must be true I heard it several times on the bbc
Yeah, those were my thoughts exactly.We still had several players out, including the England skipper, and the best winger in England, plus Esme Morgan, who would likely have started, not to mention Vicky Lusado.
