Top 100 list, loans and press conferences

   

Written by:

Some days I wake up and stare at my computer screen for what feels like hours when I don’t have anything specific to talk about. Then on days like today I feel like what I really should do is take a few things I want to talk about and spread them out into a few blog posts so that the first thing I just mentioned doesn’t happen. But no, I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’m gonna chat about a few things really quick.

As it relates to Jonas’s press conference, like with any/all coaches to me it’s always weird. Its oddly diplomatic and a lot of times just frustrating to hear. And to be clear, this isn’t against Jonas, it’s just in general. So, I’m not gonna go into what he said as it might come off as criticism but what I will say is that why not have 4 specialized full backs and not just 3? I don’t envision Laura playing again this season, so why not have kept Noelle? What am I missing?

Kühl is a player that I rate so, so, so highly. I cannot understand for the life of me how some people don’t see that or how they think other players are much better, when to me she is clearly the future of the midfield at Arsenal, not anyone else. So if Jonas doesn’t see that or does and has a different approach to her development and a loan is what she needs then I’m excited for her. However, the idea of letting her go for good isn’t absolute madness to me and if that ever happens I’ll go mad.

Now, to end this on a much more positive note, I have to tell you that I enjoyed going over the Guardian’s Top 100 Female Footballers list. In case you haven’t you can read it here.

Regardless of what I think of the order of some players (like DVD being outside of the top 50 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA WHAT!!!!???), the overall incredible amount of talent is out of control. So many players to choose from, with exceptional quality. Truly incredible and I’m so happy that lists like these exist! All the way down to the 90-100 part the players are incredible.

We’re very lucky as fans and may this continue! I also love, speaking selfishly, that a couple of years ago I might’ve been familiar with 1/4 of the names and I might’ve not recognized only 5 or 6 players today. Pretty cool.

I’ll do a little Liverpool preview tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend and stay safe out there.
