WSL Aston Villa (A) 18/05/24:

A manager shows their worth not only winning things but also when things go wrong.
When things go wrong Taylor hasn't got a clue.
He stands there looking lost, when he should be organising and motivating his team.
Hopefully they'll change it next season though they might hang fire with the female aggressor leaving Chelsea.

I think him just standing with his hands in his pockets, staring blankly out at the pitch, as the tide was obviously turning in the Arsenal match (well before they scored the equaliser), with Houghton barking orders and motivation from the bench behind him, was the single best example of what we are talking about.

It was infuriating to watch, as we all knew where things were going.

And his behaviour and comments after the match did it for me—they fully convinced me that he is not the right person for the job.

Reckon he’d struggle to organise and motivate his own stag do if they arrived at the wrong pub.

Steph on.

 

[I'm Blue]

Go on Steph.
Hopefully offer a job bythe club after today.
Assuming she wants it with the troubles at home.

The players should take some responsibility mate, going for the title and needing goals goals goals and all they can muster is 1 goal.

Mary Earps is the difference, overrated show pony

Yep, hugely overrated based on a penalty save and playing for the Rags so media over exposure/PR.
Has she saved anything today

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Nice touch. Daly giving Steph a hug.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Eh?

Not a surprise that Utd are not putting a tackle in - they are clearly under orders to not let us win the league by any means. I wonder if there will be any questions about the integrity of their performance - look at Spurs putting in some effort despite their fans not wanting them to gift the title to Arsenal - of course not the Biased BBC saying it was all about how Chelsea are going for it is the usual shite.

For us the title has come down to two matches - one away at Chelsea when we deserved the win and were robbed by the ref & our ability to battle for a draw with mins remaining last time out.

I am not too disheartened because you can see we are building a really decent, youthful squad.

I have banged on - perhaps too much - since the Euro's (yes that long ago) that we should have cashed in on Chloe - for all her ability she often doesn't make the simple pass and seems to score the really hard chances but constantly wastes the easy ones. As I type this we've had 15 mins of the second half and our England superstar has not effected the game in any way - I think she knows she's moving on..

I have seen and been part of a lot of critical stuff about Taylor - like it took far too long to play Mary Fowler consistently - but fair play the players seem committed to a better future & hopefully Neilsen, Goater and Steph hang around to keep in his ear!! One thing for sure is he is on notice that we have to do much better in the CL next year given the quality of the squad.

Agree with the gist, however we won at Chelsea. The game we were robbed of was at home when we were leading with only 9 players. The ref played well over the alotted time until Chelsea scored.

Taylor record at any other top club would see him sacked
1 league cup is not good enough in 4 years he's wasted a talented squad

With the abject performance at the Theatre of Streams, 0-6 would still have us second!
