WSL 22/23 | Villa v United - 7:15 on Fri 28 Apr
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
This is a huge one in terms of securing the CL spot. Not the greatest result against Spurs yesterday, then again we struggled against them too. Daly is the obvious one to keep quiet.
Seems Villa has a decent team this year, remember how they gave City a lot of pain early in the season. Every game is crucial now.

Really looking forward to this one. Full away end. Crucial crucial game but they all are right now.
would love to see us on the front foot from the first whistle rather like the game at OT last December.

Need to push gap out to 7 points,trouble is now Chelsea are out of Champions League then can fully focus on the WSL
They would’ve been anyway as the CL final is on 3 June.
This Villa team has come a long way when you consider our first game against them all those years back. Both teams have come a long way.
Yep, it's a big match for us - every point matters. Any kind of slip here and any margin for error vanishes (and that glimmer of a chance of the title vanishes too)
That said, it's a big match for Villa as well. They're at home, in good form, getting closer to the top teams, and I'm sure they'd like to get some points off us in the League.
We lost to them on penalties in the WSL Cup group stage back in October. We can't afford to be complacent despite our 5-0 League win at OT.
Cheeky bid for Rachel Daly in the summer would be ideal IMO.
I'm still upset we didn't sign her this summer.
Maybe Skinner doesn’t want to have players who are in a relationship with each other in the same team?
Our ladies are playing now. No goals yet.
Villa score 
Oh FFS. Daly 1-0.
Daly scores - looping header in from a corner and Villa are 1-0 up.
A real test of character this. Bounce back quickly or concede the title race, probably CL too.
YES!!!!
Feck yes!!
Galton 1-1, game on! Yet another assist for Batlle 
Galton equaliser - from a Batlle cross. 1-1
Ona, just saying, what a player!!
The best footballer in our squad.
Our defending in set pieces… 
We're a little ragged as the back.... not good
Staniforth has better corners than any of our male players, not even kidding. Hit with pace and accuracy and also beating the first defender. Wizardry!
One thing that's consistent between our men and women's team at leastOur defending in set pieces…
I’d say we’ve improved under EtH and with Eric Ramsay. Slowly even improving in our attacking set pieces, although mainly in indirect free kicks. Still a long way to go with corners, but recently we’ve seen a lot of variety in short corners.
Almost for us but good save from the Villa keeper
Almost 2-1 Russo. We’ve improved but feels like this can go either way.
By quite a margin IMO
Not again
Another corner for Villa
We got lucky there
\Villa score again...
Fannying about playing one twos on the edge of the box
Daly 2-1
Daly again and Villa lead 2-1
It's been entertaining stuff - too entertaining really. Decent chances at both ends but it's Daly with two goals on the board.

Villa are by far the 5th best team in the league.
