A very subjective look into AWFC

From the season starting… maybe not the WSL but our girl’s campaign start. The lineup is not exactly how I thought it would be but I am very excited to see a few players and dynamics. All of this btw will be covered post match during a live YouTube stream a few minutes after the game.

Overall I’m just relieved that after something like 9 months we get to watch the girls play again. So that first and foremost. For a lot of us Arsenal Women is a safe space and a community that we love being a part of and I understand how it can be a massive part of someone’s identity so them being back means there’s a big part of someone that is back too, in case they felt a little lost. That’s ok and you’re not alone. Places like these are meant for you to be a part of and belong.

I’m also extremely excited to see Amanda play and how she, hopefully, takes control on the CB pairing and helps LWM with positioning and moreover, allows Lotte to go forward if she wants and we have a solid cover at the back. I also wanna see Amanda link up with Lia and Kim from a deep position and see that whole interaction as well.

Lacasse is a player I know nothing about honestly so I’m happy I get to see her because I barely watched Canada during the World Cup and when they played against Ireland there was only one team I was interested in. Sorry to my beloved Canadians, but it wasn’t your team.

Russo in an Arsenal shirt is something that is both energizing and also calming, not sure how I can explain it but it just feels like she belongs and she hasn’t even kicked a ball, let alone the hat trick that I’m expecting.

Lastly what I look forward to the most is seeing that core… the OGs… Manu, McCabe, Kim, Lia, Maritz and Frida.

Enjoy the match and see you right after! Check my twitter.com/demianarriaga for the link
