WTF

Just unbelievable

WTF

Just read this on twitter and came on here to see if it had been picked up. I thought we'd stopped ending players careers with botched medical treatment with Paul Lake.

 

[blue whippet]

Quite incredible. Let's hope none of the other players go to the same practitioner.

 

[A57 the snake]

Fair play to her for coming out with this .. it only shows what goes on with injuries etc.
just pleased she wasn’t at the beginning of her career. Although the trauma would be the same.

 

[HelloCity]

She’d have a strong legal case that’s for sure.

 

[bluemoon32]

Yep, good luck to her if she sues

 

[Cotontoquinn]

Career possibly ended by a misplaced prick…….and it wasn’t Gareth Taylor!!!

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.

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.

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.

 

[Cotontoquinn]

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?

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.

I'm sure you know that's very unlikely.

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.

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.

Emma Hayes knows what she is doing, more often than not gets her tactics spot on.

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.
