Very poor. Got trounced. Wubben-Moy in particular got destroyed by Kerr and Kirby. Thought the lineup was questionable and going long against 3 CBs all the time made no sense.
Yes, very embarrassing performance even though the end result was kind of expected.
Zero shots on target and rarely troubled the Chelsea defense. Less said about our center back pairing the better.
Thursday's match at Emirates against Barcelona is going to be a massacre if we play like this.
Yeah watched the game and we got absolutely battered. Score probably flattered us as they really should have been out of sight by half time but for some poor finishing and a couple of good saves. Never really in the game. Haven't really watched many games this season but Williamson seemed to be too big a miss to cope with.
Another chastening defeat and a reality check as Barcelona showed how far ahead we need to move to be counted amongst Europe's elite.
The ladies were simply not there from the word go and got humbled 4-0 at Emirates.
The match once again showed that Eidevall and co need to desperately upgrade our defense and midfield.
Another horrendous showing by the ladies as we lost 4-1 away at Hoffenheim.
Somehow we limped on to make the knockout rounds.
I dont expect us to get anything against likes unless a marked improvement happens in our general play.
chelsea managed to be more shit than us and crashed out of the CL.
Yup. Wolfsburg absolutely smashed them and that should knock down the English journos by a peg or two.
However based on the seeding, nothing good is coming at us in the QF.
We will face one of Wolfsburg, PSG or Lyon.
who knows maybe we can look like a good team again in a few months. we looked like one earlier now we're shit, maybe it turns again.
We face Wolfsburg in the champions league QFs.
If Williamson is fit then I reckon we have a very slim chance.
If we somehow win this tie, then we will face the winner of Barcelona-Real Madrid (i.e. Barcelona again)in the semis.
We're just not good enough at this level. I was thinking it's at the back but actually it's everywhere.
we're not a great side anymore, but we're definitely good enough for this level.

for Europe? I dunno man. Seems like if we go up against any good side we're in trouble.
I don't know what the reasons may be. Whether it is coaching, tactics or something else.
Despite heavy recruitment of stars from all over the world, English women's teams struggle against good teams in Europe and it is not just us.
shock loss to Brum.
We just signed Stina Blackstenius who's absolutely awesome; one of the best players in the world. Big statement.
Sounds like a Lord of the Rings character.
Blackstenius is amazing but we do already have goalscorers. Feels a bit confused, getting Parris and Heath, now Stina etc while lacking quality depth in midfield and defense. Unless Miedema is off?

Miedema is confirmed off end of the season.
Isn't she like the best player in the world.
We have signed Wienroither, a top defender.
