WSL Crystal Palace (A) - 03/11/24 14:00

[JRockBlues]

More like an attack vs defence training session the way this game has started. If we get the 1st goal it could be anything.

 

[JRockBlues]

Still not improved our finishing it seems. Should've scored on a couple of occasions by now. Just not clinical enough.

We're lacking a cutting edge - the final ball isn't there yet and the finishing is poor

I agree, soft shots either at the keeper or poorly directed. A fair few sloppy passes today, so far anyway.

25 mins in and 79% possession, five shots, no goals. Wonder how much of the 79% were passes across the back and back passes to Keating. It sounds like a game similar to the rest I've seen this season. We take an age to get to the oppo penalty area and then it's in a roundabout way. There isn't another team in the league who seem to think that possession is the be all and end all of the game.

The lack of a cutting edge in front of goal seems to be a trend in both male and female teams. Just seems to be very little work done on our finishing in training.

Jill looking very good, she is getting better with every game. We need more from Jess who has been very sloppy in her passing and her choice of final pass.

Game for the taking we just need to get the first one. Need to get Bunny more involved and not fall for their delaying tactics.

Isn't "possession" the mantra of the whole club, though ?
I don't think Taylor is clever enough as a coach.
His lack of and late substitutions really hamper the team.
Cannot abide that manager of the female Trafford Termites (a proper snidey, little rodent), but he made 4 changes in the game v Arsenal today.
They were made early enough to have an impact on the game. It certainly worked and Arsenal were denied a worthy 3 points...

The malaise runs through the Club.

There you go Jess - fantastic finish.
