Yesterday was a very informative day and I feel there were a lot of takeaways from different things/situations/perspectives so I’m gonna randomly chat about those few things just as they come to my mind and it’ll be very ADD. Thanks for following along.
I love this team, I love how lucky we are to have the players we have play for our squad. My life is better whenever they play. For those 90 minutes, no matter how incredible or tough life can be, things are just incredible even if the match is frustrating. Yesterday is definitely was frustrating.
I was frustrated by Kim playing so so so deep. I was frustrated by Khul playing on the wing when we all know her best position is central. I was frustrated with Caitlin foord not hitting the target and of course I was frustrated by the current manager, which I predict won’t be there come November because this football is not good enough to beat City.
I love Steph and I really enjoy every time she’s playing and if she’s playing central that’s great for me. Also even though she’s getting some criticism I think Leah played well and these are the matches she needs to build her fitness back up.
Rosa was good and I would like her and Alessia to swap places more ofter. To me Alessia is better dropping a bit deeper and Rosa can go up as our 9 from time to time.
And as far as Alessia goes, and I mean no offense and no disrespect but this idea that the current manager says she’s the best finisher he’s ever worked with, after having worked with Vivianne Miedema is nothing but insulting and a petty comment and if he thinks we don’t know what he’s trying to do then he is just who i think he is.
I know people will have excuses about this performance and one of them is how it’s preseason but Chelsea have a brand new manager, tons of players missing, players in new positions and they looked pretty damn solid and this is not saying we didn’t look good because all things considered I think we’ll be ok, but to me it just proves that this idea of needing time and the right conditions is absolute nonsense.
The DAZN commentary here in the USA was absolutely terrible. Names mispronounced and the co-commentator basically was saying the most generic and shallow analysis of a match I think I have ever heard? It was pretty comical and I had to mute it at some point.
Love seeing Laura and I’m glad Fox didn’t play at all.
Caldentey came in just when I had to leave my house and I couldn’t watch most of the second half but I will try today if I have time because I’m very excited about her.
Glad KCC got some minutes. We’re gonna need her this season.
But I would trade it all to have Viv back in our squad. I don’t care what anyone thinks.
There’s something missing. And as of yet the vibe is off.
There’s no way this is sustainable.
We need Casey Stoney
