Jerseybean Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Opening stages of the second half reminds me of the first half hour or so yesterday we are working hard and throwing bodies on the line but being dominated and outplayed, let’s hope the outcome is the same as yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping we can relieve the pressure a bit and get an attack or two going. But the longer it goes, the less hope I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I always feel sympathy for women keepers, it is the one real weak spot in the teams, probably until you get to top level. It's always been the same even though it's much better now it still seems to be the weak spot. I think she could have done better with both goals , specially the first. That said she did well in the melee when she blocked a shot. TBF they kept the score closer than I expected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your average male keeper is bigger than your average female keeper and you do see quite a few long shots going in out of reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to give them some points for effort there don't you. I don't know what LS can say except keeping going and you'll get a break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 In general play City were totally outclassed by Arsenal but the team spirit was immense in their defensive effort. They hold shape well but they are too passive in their shape. They need to address this as too many secondary balls are picked up by the opposition leading to incessant pressure and consequentially many conceded corners and goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
