    I hope we can hold the loss to 3-0 only, that would be an improvement, given the quality of the Man City squad.
    As far as I can tell our replacements are no better than the players we released from last season. 
    In most cases they’re much better, the step up to WSL is huge. Thestrup worked hard but could barely affect defences in WSL2, EvE is miles ahead of Bradley and Ross, Partido looked much better than Muya in the brief period we saw her and I like the look of Korhonen so far, she just doesn’t get enough of the ball. I wish we’d had a better budget to bring in more players but if you think this team would be doing the same with Bissell, Ross and McAteer in the starting 11 you’re out of your mind

    Only just dawned on me that’s our old friend Eartha Cumings in goal for City today. Always liked her

    Anyone know how I get rid of this annoying strip down the side? Select and Backup don’t help.

    Van Egmond down injured now, we've had worse than zero luck so far with injuries

    Well, we’ll always have that first 25 minutes

    Fair play, that’s a lovely free kick

    The technical ability there is good, but who the hell was that in the wall ducking under the ball?!

    That goal came about because we are not willing to hoof the ball out for a throw, to many of our players think they are capable of dribbling the ball out of from defense.

    Wall didn’t jump and the person it went over ducked out the way!! Scandalous - has to be bodies on the line to get anything from these games. Far too weak.

    It appears being allergic to the football runs through the club😂 have to say women’s football is better, but it’s still pretty poor.

    Korhonen was the one that didn't fancy it in the wall.

    Good thing she doesn't play for Jones or Bowyer, she'll be ostracised from the team for that under them

    Also what is our reluctance to rackle in midfield or even when near their area, we hardly ever try to tackle then.

    Putting Fitzgerald on for EvE was a weird sub and it’s showing

    I suppose Kenney is too attacking and Humphrey they feel isn't up to speed yet.

    Other option would have been Lockwood.

    Cissoko seems incapable of passing to one of ours

    Good save? She didn't touch it did she? Thought it came off Johnston's head

    She does,  particularly so when not under pressure. Still about the best half of football they have played this season. But still do not see who will score the game goals, we had two good opportunities in that half.

    Good half, especially the first 25 mins. We created some real chances, Cumings made a great save from another Hutton rocket and Korhonen had a couple of chances she created for herself and could have made more of with a little more composure. Azzaro’s an interesting player. Obvious talent but doesn’t fancy the press and absolutely refuses to clear it so she’s creating work for the defence with some insane passes backwards. Johnston is doing better than Robe did at RB but she’s defending way too far back from her player and giving them space to move the ball and cross. Needs to get much closer and engage. Encouraging half though, losing EvE was a blow. Flandog is showing a bit on the ball today and that ball over the top is very much on, it’s quite a slow City backline and Cumings looks very shaky when that ball heads over. City have some great players to bring on still but we don’t deserve to be behind this half and let’s hope we can get something in the second

    That wall is infuriating, everyone but Korhonen jumps and she ducks her head. Mad decision

    Absolutely shocking behaviour in the wall for a professional player.  I would have subbed her at half time to prove the point.

    Fair play that’s an incredible tackle from Cissoko
