WSL 20/21 | Chelsea v United - 14:30 Sun 17 Jan

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Really good response by United. Pity that we didn't start like this
I think Toone (7) is getting too high when we go forward, if she just holds back a little she will find more space and also stop dragging more chelsea players into the defensive area which is crowding everything out.
Chelseas number 8 is sitting in pockets of space all the time.
I'd hook Galton for Heath at half time. United need to move the ball quicker and get their heads up in the counter.
They're on their way in to a serious bollocking I think.

What ? Galton is literally our best attacking player these days
Can't watch but sounds a lot like the City game so far.
Awful 30 minutes, but decent response since the goal. That offside goal was marginal.
We're definitely still in this. If she's fit, Heath could make a world of difference here.

We got outplayed. But what bothers me is that the "Chelsea fix" was in on the offside goal, I knew instantly they were going to cancel it. Last season away to them Chelsea were gifted a incredible soft penalty when they could not break us down. Its definitely a pattern where Chelsea is getting favours by the referees. When they have that extra protection, its almost impossible to beat them.
James for Press.
Good sub

Get in!!!
Wow. Lauren James. Wow.
What a goal
Beautifully worked and finished goal. Brilliant
Sublime by James, what a talent.
Brilliant goal.
Lauren's technique is just...
I am a bit sick of this ref
Was that goal our first shot on target??
feck off that's terrible
feck that's such a poor goal after doing so well to get level.
Ffs.
Don't let the ficking ball bounce. Millie Turner!

Ah hell. We've had a few lucky ones and got away with it. That was too easy for Chelsea.
Sigh
Ugh, silly goal to give away
What an awful goal to concede after working so hard
Shocking defending. She just stopped running back.
Earps should have done better as well.
Less than 20* mins to go.. both top spot and our unbeaten record on the line.

Think Chelsea have shown that even with all the improvement there is a gulf between the two teams . United have competed well but have been definitely second best . I think United squad is pretty strong but this Chelsea squad is insane
Think we should be making sure we get CL football. As you say we still need strengthening and that might attract even more top notch players.
Tough match for us. So close, but still so far to go.
Thats a very good Chelsea side but I dont think we are too far off their quality. Two different styles on show there.
We played much better in the second half, and what a goal by James. But such a shit way to lose a game with that second goal.
Kind of a weird one because we could have easily have been 2-3 down in the first half but then after getting the equaliser we were really naive & lacked game management skill
Disappointing way to lose despite James' brilliant goal but the better team won, you can see that they have been investing heavily for years while we're still a developing side. Arsenal dropping points is useful for us because I think realistically the aim for us always going to be qualifying for the Champions League (although that would have changed if we had won today).
Safe to assume Heath wasn't fit to play?
Shame about the result but just have to forget it and get back to winning next week.

Is that Chelsea defender definitely coming to us?
It's also worth noting this was our first match in a month whereas Chelsea played last week. We looked very rusty in the beginning and clearly lacking some sharpness.
Heath was a big miss too.
