against Man City? he'll go Leitzig, her shot stopping is better and we'll have less of the ball which was why he went for Kop

She's the better shot stopper but I wouldn't say that's one of kop's weaknesses. With having less of the ball we can't afford to give it away cheaply and leitzig does that a fair bit with her distribution. I can see that being in kirks thinking.

have the club made any comments about the Morgan issue? You'd think they would have been asked about it given he did it whilst working here..

I doubt they will make a statement, why would they?

if we are expecting a defensive bombardment I think they'll go with Leitzig, I expect she will be off in the summer to someone richer and better and Kop will be the undisputed number 1 next season

Will be watching us play Man City today on FA Player. 1 pm k.o.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Coping very well at the moment. Man City yet to create a decent chance. Barely noticed Bunny Shaw is playing.

[Chrysalis]

Wow, Sam instead of going for that loose ball, instead turned her back so they had a unchallenged shot.  Very lucky it was not a goal.

[Chrysalis]

Was going to say it was coming as we havent had it over the half line in the second half, but the goal is offside, remains 0-0.

[Chrysalis]

Really one sided, double save 0-0 still.

[davieG]

Need some fresh legs

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Could've done without West Ham beating Arsenal.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

It was coming tbh. 

[Chrysalis]

The quality gap is insane in this league.

 

But from looking at them, most of their play is between 3-4 players, their number 25 and Park seem at least as good as mens league one level.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

And another direct from a corner. 2-0.

That result really didn't matter, Bristol city are goners

[Pita]

A point would have been nice. But they city a run for their money. 

[demon_dog]

A valiant effort, especially after being under the cosh for so long in the second half.

Are you being serious?

[LCFCJoe96]

Always gonna be tough against them, onto Birmingham City in the FA Cup and Bristol City at home in the league…gotta be two wins from them

Quick and accurate one touch passing, skipping over tackles and around players, spatial awareness.

 

Park I would even say completely transformed the game for them with the level of quality, and so much going through their 25 with ease, especially before Park came on.

I meant being at least as good as league 1 level … do you see her fitting into the Portsmouth team for example ….

Trying to find an explanation for why Leitzig is still on the bench…anyone know what’s up here? 
 

I will say that Kop is playing very well but I’m wondering if Janina has an injury or if there is something else going on.

Same as with Iversen. Deemed not good enough with the ball at her feet.

No, because the mens game has players that are stronger physically.

 

I am talking about the skill of the player rather than if they would compete.

Good effort yesterday, Kop did well with the saves but her distribution wasn't great at times, there's no way Leitzig gets done on that corner either for the 2nd goal. 

 

Pelgander looks a useful addition, Howard and Bott stuck to their task well but Thibaud needs some bench time, I'd give Ale a start. 

 

Jess Park changed the game, crisp passing and energetic.
