The sort of match that City should be winning easily…and aren’t.Had final pre-season game against Liverpool today that went a bit under the radar. Another behind closed doors match which we drew 1-1. Castellanos missed a penalty (heard that somewhere before) before slotting in the rebound on 16mins. Liverpool equalised late on from a corner.
Match report
Sorry to say it but it looks to me like the Raggies have got a better team than us! Don’t know what’s going on a City. Seems we’re not investing in the team anymore and allowing a mass-exodus to happen at the same time. Concerning.The sort of match that City should be winning easily…and aren’t.
It will be a struggle this season. Fighting it out with the Ragettes again for 3rd place and Champions League qualification.
If Keira Walsh goes - we’ll finish 4th or 5th.
LolLots of new foreign imports brought in but the pre-season games haven’t inspired confidence. What’s all this behind closed doors nonsense?? Working on some radical tactic like forward passing?
Think this may well be the case this season. They have improved each season they have been in existence. We have certainly stalled and over the last few years, perhaps even regressed under Taylor. Their manager at least appears to have an idea, unlike Taylor. I feel we finished last season in third because of the quality of players we had, had we a better manager our performances would have been better. They could well finish above us this year. I can't believe Taylor was the best option when that job came up.Sorry to say it but it looks to me like the Raggies have got a better team than us! Don’t know what’s going on a City.

I'm sure you know that's very unlikely.Lots of new foreign imports brought in but the pre-season games haven’t inspired confidence. What’s all this behind closed doors nonsense?? Working on some radical tactic like forward passing?
I will let you into a secret blue whippet. The team with the best players usually wins the league and the team with the worst line up usually gets relegated.Think this may well be the case this season.

Not the case. The quality of the “best” players counts. Wish that City had a Sam Kerr and a Guro Reiten. Those players more than compensate for the number of very average players in that Chelsea squad. An excellent coach like Emma Hayes also helps.I will let you into a secret blue whippet.

Agree with the relegation hit but not the winning. The ability of the manager to react and utilize the players he/she has make a difference esp when a there are several teams that have a number of good players.I will let you into a secret blue whippet.
