A very subjective look into AWFC

Four more for me technically but the season is almost here. It has felt like the longest summer ever honestly, not just because of the World Cup but for some personal reasons too. It’s. Been. Interesting. and I welcome the next few days and weeks will be even more interesting, and that is due to a few factors which I would bet my life you are also thinking about. Or maybe not.

How will Jonas actually line them up? I wonder which one of us will get the starting lineup correct… but if the rumor that I heard from a VERY RELIABLE SOURCE within the club is right, then only insiders know. I’m lying. I have no idea and I just made that up and this is exactly how rumors start, how silly is that? But really, the only thing I keep reading from random “ITK” twitter accounts is that we’re actually signing Mary Earps. They know absolutely no more than you do, honestly so don’t believe them if you don’t want to. I find it funny and interesting and I’d love to think that we would be willing to basically dismantle Man Utd and I’m here for that. These are the kinds of things that go through my head most of the day.

There was also some uproar about us not registering enough midfielders for the Champions League situation… well yeah. That’s part of the issue with injuries and also transfers, but I think we will be ok for the next 2 CL matches at the very least but yes I still think we need cover for Lia. I’ve been already so happy with the defensive transfers, that I would like the same for our midfield. I would like to see a no nonsense defensive midfielder that is close to the level and quality of Lia and we need her to rest as much as possible too, poor woman plays too much.

The other thing I wonder is how different the team will look from the match on Wednesday and the season opener vs Liverpool. My guess is that it won’t be that much different, because we don’t need the rotation and I still thing Jonas will try a new formation but what the hell do I know? I’m just basing that on England and The Netherlands playing a 3-5-2 and being fairly successful.

I’m falling asleep so a lot of what I said maybe didn’t make sense but know that I thought it did when I wrote it. haha.

But I’ll finish with the fact that I haven’t heard any news on Rubiales at all. Which bothers me a lot if I’m being totally honest but I hope Monday brings something else. til then:

Enjoy your Sunday!
