I guess Kang wants that top 4 finish. Really not sure how a new manager is going to help them when they're still trying to make 17 summer signings gel into some sort of cohesive team. Madness.

Surely, surely they have to sack Taylor now?! Shipping 8 goals to a heavily rotated Chelsea team at home, unforgivable.

"Do you think we should mark Sam Kerr in the box?" "Erm.. nah. Probably be ok."

Oh Liverpool

Sammy that ball 🤌🏻

Asllani massively got in her own head but Janiiiiiiiii 🧱

Oh stop it

I do feel for Liverpool and their injury crisis and I know it's his style but does Gareth Taylor ever pay attention to his opponents? Playing perfectly into Villa's hands again and again. Players can't play out so being hurt by their press. High line, they have the pace to get in behind. Baffling.

Oh my giddy fuck what a goal Dumornay

I think if I was playing the 8 time UWCL champions I would definitely start a 37 year old part time plasterer up front. Yep. That's what I'd do.

Olivia Smith off the left is different gravy 🫠

Flipping chuffed with this. Thanks to everyone who's listened to @whyalwaysshe.bsky.social this year. Keep coming back 🫶🏻

Aaah man I love a Lucy Bronze diving header. So close!

One of the reasons I think we'll never see a #9 truly challenge Russo while she's fit and available is that whoever else plays there we still try and play like it's Russo. And it's very difficult to replicate what she does.

A farcical League Cup draw: the latest example of why a blind obsession for women’s sports’ growth at all costs is abandoning the very audience and soul that built it. But hey, at least we can all eat footlongs. @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

Between this and the low viewing figures for the Arsenal Chelsea game being reported.. not a great week for WSL Football!

Well

What is it with Crystal Palace?! What do they have over us?

I hate football and I hate knees

This is heartbreaking for Jutta. Re-signed with Leicester in the summer as she felt she had more to do after missing the majority of last season due to injury and setbacks on her other knee. This must be so tough to take. Wishing her a good recovery 🫶🏻

That was very intriguing from a tactical perspective. Ideally Barca want a team pressing them with a high line so they can play out and in behind. They're also quite used to a low block, where they suffocate with endless pressure & stifle any out balls. What they can't deal with is a mid block.

I know a lot of fans have been asking for it but dropping Millie Bright for this game feels like a big call? Honestly I'm surprised

If I'm wrong I'm wrong, and perhaps it's more minute management, but those subs feel like a mistake. Smith and Kelly have been Arsenal's brightest sparks.

United lost their heads a bit here

Juve 3-0 up against Lyon??

One of the only things getting me through Leicester's latest case of the duldrums is how entertaining the league is at the moment. Love to see it.

Reflecting more on the game earlier, trying to pick out +ves and not think about a Finnish person's knee - MASSIVE props to Shannon O'Brien. Had to fight her way into the starting XI, and that's 2 in 2 for her now. Never stopped running, brilliant throughout. We may need her now more than ever.

Wow. 😂

Tough one today. Started so positively, got sucker punched and let ourselves get pinned back. Realistically where Brighton are as a team are they should be winning that. Just hope Jutta's ok. Felt like we were building good attacking depth and now if her and NM are out again it's back to bare bones.

Not at all mad about Brighton not having Kirby. Although they do have Kafaji to bring off the bench. Leicester have, at best, 2 attacking substitutions, when last week we had 4.

If Sophie Howard is playing in the Champions League next season I will lose my shit 🥲

What a finish Hempo 😤

🗣️ “The future of women’s football is to be independently owned” After five years at Leicester City, Sophie Howard made the switch to Mercury 13-owned Como Women this summer 🔁 Really interesting to hear her thoughts on development/future of the game 👇

Sigh. Mouchon out for 4-6 weeks with ankle injury. Really feel for her, how frustrating after carefully building back up to match starting fitness. For Leicester, they at least have options in attack but it's a blow to have this set back.

If you're not sure and you'd like some insight about what is wrong with PSG, see my analysis of their game against Real Madrid a few weeks ago 👇🏻 Rinse and repeat.

I honestly think Slegers made the subs too early. Completely disrupted the dynamic, Bayern had a foot in the door and they just opened it for them.
