WSL 20/21 | United v Bristol - 12:00 Sun 20th Dec

[jojojo]

Live on MUTV and (free to view in most countries including the UK) on FAPlayer. We lost to them last season, a 0-1 with the only goal scored by our ex-player Ebony Salmon. That was the kind of match that reminded us of why we were a fourth place kind of side, not yet a top team. Can we do better this time?

Chelsea's game with Spurs has been postponed so we will end the year top of the League. Just as definitely, Bristol will end the year bottom of the League. We'll be chasing the three points and trying to improve our goal difference. They'll be trying to prove that they aren't going to be relegated without a fight.

I've got a good feeling about this game.

We are truly title contenders now. What's our most likely front 3 for this game?

 

[ImmortalJoker66]

A lot of people will be optimistic but I will be a cautious realist when it comes to the opposition who need the points very badly and Bristol are top of that list, they are literally facing Relegation to the Championship and yet to register their first win of the season so they will do the obvious which is park the bus and hit on the counter with former United striker Ebony Salmon the prime target to feed the ball to. Press will be on the bench that is a certainty but I want to see Ivana Fuso get her first start to give that Bristol defense a lot of trouble with Heath and Galton on the flanks.

Martha Harris and Christen Press are back from injury/illness and are on the bench. It looks like Lauren and the others are still injured.

 

[jojojo]

Ebony Salmon nearly opens the scoring for Bristol - a reminder of how good she is, and how dangerous a game this can be.

 

[ImmortalJoker66]

Knew Bristol would park the bus, and try to hit us on the counter. they did so last year at the start of 2020

 

[ImmortalJoker66]

PICK THAT ONE OUT!!!! GALTON!!!!!

 

[Ubik]

Yikes, goal of the season contender!

 

[RORY65]

fecking hell, what a strike!

 

[Maestro14]

What a strike by Galton!

 

[jojojo]

Cracking shot from Leah Galton and we're 1-0 up. Lovely goal and a really important one, given we've been struggling to get through their defensive line.

Need a couple more now, because this game has an Ebony Salmon counterattack written all over it.

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

What a goal

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Some really dodgy performances in midfield so far . Love Galton so much but she over hits her crosses a lot every game it seems

 

[jojojo]

Millie Turner, good header from Zelem's corner and we're 2-0 up.

 

[Ubik]

Millie!

 

[ImmortalJoker66]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 2-0! Millie Turner!

 

[RORY65]

Big to get that 2nd before the break, we've had a lot of the ball and shots from distance but they've been hard to break down.

HT 2-0 in the pouring rain.

Good goals from us, but some untidy passing at times. Bristol have had some decent chances on the break.

Yes.

I'm watching on MUTV (I prefer our commentators to the ones on FAPlayer). So I'm guessing it's not available in your country.

Unfortunately that may mean the same thing is true of FA Player. I know in some countries, where the FA have sold the WSL broadcasting rights, the live matches are blocked.

[Pysen]

Yes.

No. I've got United v Leeds from 98/99-season.

Jess GETS HER GOAL!!! 3-0 United!

 

[RORY65]

3-0, good reactions by Sigsworth.

 

[jojojo]

Jess wants the penalty, but scores anyway

 

[DomesticTadpole]

No. I've got United v Leeds from 98/99-season.

Like the others I am watching MUTV channel, maybe a problem in other countries.

 

[Ubik]

Nice!

And Fuso now coming on.

On my screen on MUTV they are showing the 98/99 clash between United and Leeds at Old Trafford instead of this game

United may not have the rights for this outside the UK - we've been arguing with the FA all season about letting us show more games, and in which countries.

Though I guess they may just have opted to concentrate on the (men's) matchday show build up in some countries.

Can you get it on FAPlayer?

That's where I am watching it now instead of on MUTV

[Ubik]

Casey says "do it again"

 

[Dudu]

This girl....

How did she even score from the angle?!

What a pass from Toone too.

 

[jojojo]

Leah scores from a crot

4 - 0, Galton

Plenty of time left for the hattrick

 

[Ubik]

Midfielders should really have been getting back to clear that.

 

[jojojo]

Ebony Salmon scores - just like I'd expect her to. Well done to her. 4-1 - time for us to get back into action again.

 

[Dudu]

Feel like Earps could have come out for the initial ball there..
