A very subjective look into AWFC

Wether you listen to my podcast or have read a few of these posts, you’ll know that I try to be, as much as possible, as positive and optimistic as possible. I do my best to focus on the good parts and I try to find things that we can learn from. Today will be more of the same. Safe to say that I will be going to chat about this and more on tomorrow’s episode of That Arsenal Women Podcast.

So…

Among the positive things that I saw was that Leah Williamson is just too good. This isn’t me saying that other CBs aren’t good, it’s just that she is much, much better than most. She needs the right partner that is as close to her level as possible and I think we have that player at the club and I can’t wait to see Amanda and Leah together. I have a feeling that will bring a stability that we need.

Katie being Katie is always a positive. The team just isn’t the same without her in it. Her tenacity, shit housery, drive, attitude and skills are attributes that you always want in the team. Unless you’re Jonas and you take her off, but that’s another story which I’m trying really hard to not talk about.

Emily Fox continues to impress me with her energy and vision.

And to be fair I would’ve preferred to see Stina get a start, but I thought Alessia had a good game and even if she didn’t score or assist, she seemed to me to be super up for it and tried to get involved and involve the players around her..

The last positive I will mention is that City don’t look great. This can be both good and bad. Good because we can beat them in the league for sure, with Viv, Kim and Lia. I’m sure of that. Bad because if they play Chelsea like this, I’m equally sure that Chelsea could score 5 or 6.

I’m feeling criticism coming on from myself towards the manager and I will for sure talk about that tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
