Batlle finally returns to the starting line up, which is a huge boost for us. Garcia on the bench, and Leon is not in the squad. But otherwise, it's a strong line up for us.

Strong side, Battle back in over Thorisdottir is a massive positive. Will be a big challenge against Arsenal but should really show us where we are in relation to the top 2.

Garcia back on the bench is also good to see, Parris has been playing very well so can’t really complain at keeping her spot.

 

[maniak]

Should be a good one, free on the FA player.

 

[Lightbringer]

Why no replay of Blundell going down?

 

[Maestro14]

Been a good start from us so far, we need to make it count with a goal though. Galton has been on the end of our best chances early on.

Been a bit like the Everton game where we’ve broken and got it out to Galton really well. Don’t think Arsenal will keep allowing it to happen in the way Everton did mind so we definitely need to make the most of these chances.

 

[Lightbringer]

Tactical time out from Arsenal?

 

[Rood]

Great start - far better than Chelsea

Better team so far

 

[Maestro14]

Tooney!!!!!

 

[Samid]

Toone!

 

[Berbaclass]

Get in Ella

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Tooney! Tooney! Tooney!

 

[phelans shorts]

Brilliant performance this first half, it must be said. Zinsberger is having a shocker in the Arsenal goal, which helps.

 

[phelans shorts]

That should have been a penalty straight after too, McCabe wiping out Parris.

 

[Berbaclass]

That was a penalty

 

[Lightbringer]

Its Arsenal, play Arsenal or Chelsea away and get some bad refereeing against you, thats the standard.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Butter fingers much, that Arsenal goalkeeper?

 

[jojojo]

Good half from us.

 

[maniak]

ffs zinsberger :|

 

[ForeverRed1]

Have to say we look a very good team, if we were more ruthless in the box we would be a couple up here. We just seem to slow it down when we get to the final third.

 

[RedPed]

Hopefully we can hang on for the win. We're definitely playing Champions League next season.

I do still worry our squad might not have enough depth, even though it’s better than last season. Long term loss of Russo or Battle for instance and the drop off in our play is huge.

I'm sure when participation is confirmed, United will strengthen.......and oh shit!

 

[phelans shorts]

That was absolutely horrific

 

[Maestro14]

Ffs, Arsenal equalise within a minute of the second half. Shot from distance took a massive deflection off Maya.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

You have got to be shitting me. That started with with Parris turning the ball over.

Massive questions need to be asked of where on earth Zelem and Ladd were, she walked through the midfield.

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Referee is having a mare out there.

 

[RedPed]

Dirty feckers, that Arsenal team.

 

[phelans shorts]

Whatever the result Skinner should be using this game to create a siege mentality with everything being given against us.

 

[Lightbringer]

I would sub parris to avoid a red card.

 

[jojojo]

Very frustrating if we don't take points off arsenal here.

the way the game is going in the 2nd it will be a hard task!

 

[phelans shorts]

She was very good in the first half but yeah, I’d be considering Garcia to replace her for half an hour here. Need to freshen it up a little.

 

[jojojo]

Annoying.

 

[phelans shorts]

Galton off struggling and Garcia on.

Arsenal score, the cross in was magnificent.

 

[RedPed]

Ah feck off with your dodgy tan!

 

[RedDevilQuebecois]

Very poor entrance by Garcia. That was the player she had to mark.
