Then again if we keep just clearing the ball for the rest of the night it’ll be a long one.
So what do you suggest? Small pass between Earps and Zelem in our own box? You saw how that ended up! There is different ways to hold possession!

We need a second goal because this is going to get hairy if the scoreline remains this close.
I’ll be very surprised if we keep a clean sheet if we don’t change something. Very far from scoring the second as we’ve probably not been in their box not once this half. I’d bring Thomas on for Parris and maybe Bøe Risa on for Galton, Tooney on the left.

So will Skinner trust his subs and freshen up as we played during the weekend? Or will he run this 11 to the ground as he trusts them? Key question certainly. Bring on the subs please!

Not saying it was the right decision in that situation or that it was a quality pass. But 50% of our ”passes” have been into row Z this half. Need to get a grip of the game by possession.

He and his staff have done a brilliant job and that’s more or less the only thing I’d really criticise him for. Nothing wrong with trusting a permanent XI but it can’t be at the expense of not making subs when it’s obvious they’re needed.

KAMMOOOON!

Not a vintage performance but a big win! All that matters at this stage of the season.

Mannion POTM by far for me, she was simply faultless.

Massive win. What a volley that would’ve been from Zinsberger though :lol:

HUGE win. The title may still be beyond us, but I feel a lot better about securing top three now.

This is quite a weird leauge, we are 4 points clear at the top with 4 games to go, only lost two games so far, fantastic GD. We could still finish outside top 3 i think. Should not be possible.

That's a fantastic win tonight and so glad they got the result that they earned and deserved.

A little feck off to Arsenal who tried to unrest the team and Russo during the transfer window. Hopefully the team continues on and finishes top 3 or even wins the title and key players can be secured with new deals. Great 3 points.

Massive win tonight. You could see the belief in the team, dogged but effective. Carry this on for the rest of the season, and we'll be very close. All we can do is make Chelsea have to be perfect to win it. FA Cup win would be nice as well.
