WSL 22/23 | Spurs v United - 12:00 Sun 12 Feb

[jojojo]

It goes without saying that we need three points from Spurs. Spurs have not been having a good season so far - P11 W3 D0 L8 - but they made Chelsea work for their 3-2 win at the weekend so we still can't afford to under-estimate them. The match is at the main stadium which I think will be harder on their nerves than ours. We'll see.

I still have tickets for this after the original postponement - looking forward to get back to winning ways

 

[jojojo]

Fair to say there are no surprises in the lineup. Parris comes in for Garcia. For the second game running Adriana Leon doesn't even make the bench.

Chelsea don't play this weekend so a win today will put us top of the table, for a while at least. It's really tight up there though - a defeat would cost us whatever margin we've got for staying in the top three.

 

[FreakyJim]

Ugh, it's DAZN for my country. I don't really want to subscribe to that crap just to watch United occasionally.

 

[jojojo]

All us so possession and position-wise far, but no real chances. Spurs look like they could be dangerous on the break.

Still goalless - ten minutes played.

 

[jojojo]

Decent chance for Galton, beats the defender for speed but shoots over.

 

[Lightbringer]

The spotlight is on Skinner says the fans on twitter - I would reckon the spotlight is on the players!? But what do I know?

Just fecking win this game!

 

[jojojo]

Galton gets the ball in the net but it's offside.

Beth England gets a good chance on the break for Spurs but mishits the shot. Spurs have woken up, they're looking a lot livelier now.

Still goalless at 25 minutes.

 

[RedPed]

Seem to have lost a bit of their sparkle the last few games.

 

[Gazautd18]

The goal will come from down spurs right hand side.
They getting exposed there.
Need to widen the play.

I do think the spotlight is on him to some extent. He says that he "trusts the process" and his first choice players. At the moment he's trusting them, despite then looking jaded in the past few matches. The squad has been strengthened - strengthened so much in fact that players like Moore, Staniforth and Leon all went on the market in January.

Today, looks very like the Everton match. Just that bit too slow and too predictable in attack.

We spent the first half waiting for Toone, Galton and Russo to do something - we need a plan B for when that doesn't happen.

That said - Toone has seen more of the ball this half (and has already hit the post), and it does look like we're trying to go up a gear.

Some of our rivals must have done a voodo-ritual with all the posts we´ve been hitting since the christmas break! Someone one here that can un-curse us?

Good points. Surely he must be looking for early subs this game after last game or he is just stubborn and maybe wants to prove a point! Dont want to say that while the game is going on. But surely if the starting players are not producing we need to change it up, alsot to send signals to the starting players that they need to be sharp otherwise others will take their places! I am not sure how the subs are going to be ready to play after spending all season on the bench however....So its a bit of a dilemma ongoing with the team that I am not sure I´v seen in mens football before!

 

[PoTMS]

I should probably stop watching United games. Both games I've watched recently, we've looked pretty poor.

 

[Zoo]

Goal! Good play from Battle.

 

[jojojo]

Finally!

Super Leah Galton

 

[PoTMS]

And now United score!

 

[Lightbringer]

YES! Finally broke the funk - just go on now! Keep the pressure on Tottenham!

 

[Drawfull]

Fecks sake

 

[jojojo]

Equaliser for Spurs - Beth England solo effort on the break.

1-1

 

[Darkhorsez]

crap - should have been a pen for us

 

[Zoo]

Haahaha. Sorry for the Spurs defender though

 

[sebsheep]

2-1. This game has gone crazy

 

[Darkhorsez]

Yessssss

 

[Drawfull]

Haahaha. Sorry for the Spurs defender though

I wondered what you were laughing at

 

[jojojo]

Ouch but good news for us! OG more or less straight after kickoff.

Nice Garcia cross, turned in by the defender and we're back in the lead.

 

[ken11]

Crazy 2 mins.

 

[FrankWhite]

What a finish by the defender though

 

[Darkhorsez]

Some game management now Please

 

[jojojo]

Oh dear. Red card for Ella Toone - momentarily lost her temper there.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Silly girl. Saw the red mist.

 

[ken11]

A yellow for sure but straight red?

 

[FrankWhite]

Been watching Casemiro clearly

 

[Drawfull]

Looney Toone

 

[pacifictheme]

What did she do?

 

[PoTMS]

Stupid from Toone. Which games will she miss?

 

[FrankWhite]

A yellow for sure but straight red?

Definitely a red

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Come on . How is that red
