A very subjective look into AWFC

There has been an uptick in the criticism and hate towards Katie and this is something that I think its terrible, misguided and it reflects the usual cancerous situation which is a fan base choosing a scapegoat. We all know that at the end of the day this is just projection and its basically people telling on themselves.

Now, I’m not saying that she is immune to constructive criticism and I would bet my house that she is the first person to say she hasn’t been performing at her best but I will just add that said “best” has to do with goal contributions, shots, free kicks etc. The bite and attitude are still there and even thought she might need a new challenge, I still feel she is the right player for us.

She essentially has that left back spot guaranteed. There is no actual competition specially since Steph is not playing there anytime soon unless there are some suspensions or injuries. The issue for me lies on what I can only assume are directions from the coach as to what she is to do and NOT do.

The tactics have changed, the roles have changed and I feel like Katie is victim to a “driving with the parking break on” and so are Beth, Chloe and many others. They are these unicorns that are meant to be set free and be magical and express themselves but they are being asked differently and they are also such amazing professionals that they will do that.

There is also some stuff going around Katie not wearing the poppy symbol and I don’t know enough about any of that to make any sort of comment but some of the things I’ve read on social media are pretty terrible towards her and that cannot be an easy thing to deal with.

We can’t forget what she has done and we cannot forget what she is still capable of. It wasn’t more than 6 months since she was leading the celebrations post CL win. She is still that force of nature.

Support her still or not, at your own risk.

McCabe Forever.
