Erithacus Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Both Scottish fullbacks are City girls. Bet they wish they had an easier first game - our (Lionesses) fitness and speed of thought are really starting to become a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Cripes. Enjoyed watching this more than the men's team. Never thought I'd say that. Hopefully, Southgate is watching. Positive, powerful, progressive football - the modern way. Not the SOD possession- bore fest that went out in the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flounder Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Could this England Woman's team hold it's own at any level of the men's football league? Prem is a no as is the Championship but could they finish higher than the Gas, or avoid relegation out of the Football League? Having watched Mangotfield United a few times last season I'm constantly surprised about how physical and fast paced the game is at that level. Surely it would be disingenuous to place an international women's side at Downs level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Just a thought, but at the end of each game does Mark Sampson sit in the changing rooms conducting the debrief with a bag on his head or does he get to cop an eyeful each time ?? Don't wish to be non PC but just curious what the protocol would be ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to referee rugby matches on Wednesday afternoons when the majority of games are Universities etc. Every now and again a Ladies match would come up my list. Before the game you have to go in to the changing room and have a chat with the players, tell them what you want from them and check studs. Some of em would have little or nothing on when putting their studs up for inspection and with a bit of banter too. Then afterwards, a share of the bath or showers with 30 odd young ladies. And then they get you a drink in the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is Chloe Arthur the Scottish left back is basically a number 10 / attacking midfielder for City. God knows why she's left back. The equivalent of sticking Paterson left back. She had that Nobbs plus Lucy Bronze to contend with. A comparison to the mens' game would be Dani Alves right back and maybe Pedro right mid. No wonder she got overrun poor girl.

holdec Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I would say women's skill level very high it's the physical part they would struggle. US women's team lost 5-0 to Dallas FC under 15 boys in April & a much fancied Australia women's lost 7-0 to a local under 15 boys just before the last world cup.

22A Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I read that the women's game differs from men's as they are not up to the physical side, so instead rely on accurate passing moves and retention of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Some of the reasons fans are liking the women's game is the emphasis on skill and technical stuff, rather than the 'combative' efforts of the men; that and the stark absence of faking injuries or diving makes for a more respectable sport. Of course, football is a physical game and relies on a certain amount of strength (the Lionesses are showing the improvements in that area now) but the women tend to have less reliance on it. Expect them to continue to grow in a slightly different direction to the men's on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 In fact their energy and team ethic is outstanding. There was a moment about 10 minutes ago when the right back carried the ball into midfield, lost it in a dangerous position and 5 of them sprinted back to cover her and snuffed out the chance of a goal.
