WSLCup 19/20 | United women v Leicester | 21 November - 19:30 - on MUTV

jojojo · Nov 18, 2019

Conti Cup time again, and we're up against the only Championship team in our group. Currently we're top of our group, having defeated City and Everton:
United P2 - 6 points (GD +5)
Birmingham P3 - 6 points (GD +4)
City P3 - 6 points (GD +4)
Everton P2 - 0 points (GD -4)
Leicester P2 - 0 points (GD -9)

The teams only play each other once, so after this we'll just have Birmingham to play. The top two go through to the knockouts. 3 points are a necessity, and as GD may matter we might be on the hunt against Leicester.

A strong team but with starts for players who've been stuck on the bench for most of the season so far.

Is this available on the FA player do you know? @jojojo

I don't think so, none of the broadcast channels have it and nor do the FA. I think we're the only club that televises its League Cup matches live - so just on MUTV as far as I know.

That’s a shame. I’ll have to catch the highlights later. Mutv has to go as a cost saving exorcise sadly.

1-0 Sigsworth.. Almost 2

2 minutes in

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Nice goal from Lizzie Arnot - good run, nice shot.

Indnyc · Nov 21, 2019

2-0

Arnot with a stunning goal

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

10 minutes in, United two up, and now one of the Leicester players has to go of injured. It's a cold, hard night in Leigh.

Indnyc · Nov 21, 2019

We’ve been pretty dominant so far.. Leicester can’t seem to keep up with the press..

3-0 now

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

United go three up. Ella Toone with a shot from the edge of the penalty area. Ella scored five against them last season as well.

We've had a few near misses too, hard night for Leicester.

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Our fourth goal not spotted by the ref - ball crosses the line but the ref doesn't see it. It would be more upsetting if we weren't three up :lol:

I feel bad for Leicester.. You can clearly see the difference in quality

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Kirsty.Smith gets her first ever United goal.

Indnyc · Nov 21, 2019

And Ella Toone makes it 5

It's ruthless stuff. Casey doesn't like them being docile.

Toone makes it five

Indnyc · Nov 21, 2019

Leicester score.. Long ball..

And we go back and score again 6-1 :lol:

She'll be annoyed at the goal conceded

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Leicester score! Nice break and our new keeper's first job of the night is to fish the ball out of the net.

And as I type that Toone gets her hattrick 6-1

Andersons Dietician · Nov 21, 2019

Man this game sounds awesome. I’m almost tempted to fire up MUTV again

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

HT and it's 6-1 and it could have been worse for Leicester.

Just wave after wave of attack from us. Six goals scored, but so far none for Jane Ross who's playing up top. This ought to be a good night for her to get her goalscoring habit back, but not yet.

mu4c_20le · Nov 21, 2019

G'wan lasses... avenge the saints

Maestro14 · Nov 21, 2019

Over 20 minutes without a goal. Terrible.

Maestro14 · Nov 21, 2019

Finally! Jane Ross scores! 7-1

And you got your wish

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

And Toone gets her fourth for 8-1

Maestro14 · Nov 21, 2019

What a way to score your first goal! Ladd makes it 9!

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Hayley Ladd scores, beautifully flighted shot from way out, 9-1

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

Toone gets her fifth and United's tenth.

Indnyc · Nov 21, 2019

James gets in the party 11-1!!

Maestro14 · Nov 21, 2019

And James finishes it off. 11-1. Too easy.

buchansleftleg · Nov 21, 2019

It's going to be along quiet drive back to Leicester!

Nick7 · Nov 21, 2019

Jesus

jojojo · Nov 21, 2019

So, United smack Leicester around, end up winning 11-1 and should go through to the knockout stage of the League Cup.

United will top the group (barring a disaster against Birmingham costing us our goal difference!) which will give us a home tie in the first round of the knockouts. City are now in second place having beaten Everton tonight.

Maestro14 · Nov 21, 2019

Arnot and Okvist put in some fantastic crosses in from the left. From the first minute their right hand side was in tatters. Those two, and Toone of course, were the stand out players for me.

Yep, that was the squad in action. They've scarcely played this season, and they all came in and played as if they wanted to impress.

Casey has the luxury in the last match that despite it being against a WSL1 team she can give the backups another run out and maybe even one or two of the U21s who are doing well.

Robin · Nov 21, 2019

6 games in the cup tonight, 40 goals, a lot of one sided games

Class of 63 · Nov 22, 2019

If it hadn't been for keeper Demi Lambourne in the first-half Leicester City could have been on the end of an embarrassing result yesterday.

TrustInOle · Nov 22, 2019

I have to say, having seen how a brand new team can play trophy winning football, see a plan on the pitch, that every player buys into. I am very very impressed with what Stoney has done, and I think she has exceeded everybodies expectations with how far she has taken this team in 18 months.

How far would we be away from seeing a female head coach in the mens game? I see so much more pedigree in Stoney than 90% of other British managers.

Van Piorsing · Nov 22, 2019

Good to see Mollie Green, needed more game time.
