WSLCup 22/23 | United v Sheffield United - 12:00 Sun 18 Dec

[jojojo]

Last match of the group stage. We're out but it's still a game that has to be played.

We're not back in match action until mid-January, so a chance for a bit of a Christmas party before the break?

Not sure what the team will look like for this. Similar to the Everton cup match perhaps - using the squad and a few first team players, but no youngsters? Or will we see Skinner mix it up a bit.

 

[Grande]

A party is due. This has been a fantastic autumn for us.

Is this the right time and place for Grace Clinton? Only Skinner knows

Ok. I'm trying to be reasonable but I don't get this lineup at all

At least Toone, Russo, Earps have (I assume) been given an extra week off.

 

[jojojo]

Match is live on MUTV.

Not a big crowd at LSV but given the cold, the still icy roads and the fact that this is a dead rubber I reckon it's not a bad turnout.

 

[jojojo]

Adriana Leon scores. United lead 1-0 with 14 minutes gone.

Battle capain again, she desperately wants to play and Skinner wants to stroke her ego by making her captain?

 

[Lightbringer]

2-0 Leon and she celebrates, NOT AT ALL

wonderful link up play between Williams & Garcia

 

[jojojo]

Adriana Leon gets her second and it's 2-0. Nice to see. Her form for Canada had been great this year but we've scarcely seen her, not even as a sub.

We've had most of the ball and could be further ahead.

I genuinely think this is why she’s playing these games. Look what’s down the line for you here if you stay

 

[jojojo]

Nicely flighted cross from Martha Thomas gets misjudged by the keeper and it's in the net. 3-0

 

[jojojo]

Martha Thomas gets our fourth.

Leon and Thomas go off for Katie Zelem and Keira Bradley. Le Tissier and Blundell came on at HT for Batlle and Turner.

 

[jojojo]

Alyssa Aherne on for Rachel Williams. United still leading 4-0 with ten minutes to play.

 

[RedPed]

I didn't realise Sweetman-Kirk was still playing?

Still playing and still scoring apparently.

 

[jojojo]

FT and it's 4-0.

Solid win, shame we screwed up the earlier matches in the group stage with draws and penalty losses.

Nice to see a couple of the young ones get a run out as subs and good to see Leon, Garcia and Tounkara playing well today.

 

[Lightbringer]

@jojojo How did you enjoy the weather? Tounkara seem to want to go inside quickly :-)

Oddly enough it's warming up as the day goes on and will be 10c overnight having been 0c for the match!

Well, its been alternating between -10 and -20 here in sweden this week so, I guess its not cold in Manchester anyway :-) I´ve played games at -20, that was cold.

Whos jojojos player of the match? Since you are at Leigh you should award a women of the match every home game. You are such a trooper, the club should be thankful! I am! For everyone that goes to Leigh and on the road to support the team.
