Ladd covers so much ground, she’s covered for García a few times already. Crucial work.
WSL 23/24 | United v Arsenal - Fri 6 Oct at 7:30
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Geyse is pretty wasteful thus far.
Men's team would never get a goal like that 
So close to finding Garcia. Geyse had the right idea there.
Garcia & Geyse have been awful with their decisions
till that last one

Very wasteful.
It’s the Arsenal fans singing “Lessi Russo, we’ve got, Lessi Russo, we’ve got”. I think.
Better team so far is United, just not quite quick or clinical enough in the final third currently.
Who is the annoying co-commentator? Just constant criticism
Half time musings
In the very short history of the women’s team, where do we think Leah Galton ranks amongst our best players ever list. Don’t mean just pure quality but overall legacy.

Nice that they finally have another chant to add to their strong songbook that contains the absolute classic ”Aaaarsenal, Aaaarsenal, Aaaarsenal….” chant. And, well, there’s that.

Thought Garcia been ok but Geyse been terrible
Unimpressed again. Lucky to go in level with that goalkeeper clanger. Arsenal clearly far superior on the ball and in the buildup, they also cocked up a good chance with 2 of them through before the first goal from a high ball.
She's run about but with little effect
Curious question, dont we have better midfielders on the bench than on the pitch?
Missed the first 30 mins but yeah, was very disappointed in her movement off the ball and a few times she's kind of just stood there and let an Arsenal player take it.
Depends what you want from them. We’ve got Miyazawa, but I doubt she has the aggression and steel Zelem and Ladd offer. Which I think is very important in these top four battles. Personally think they’ve been fine so far. Naalsund the other option. Would’ve liked to have seen what Guerrero could add but she’s not in the squad tonight.
I'm disappointed we not seeing more from Geyse, she looked very good in the first half at Villa.
She started okay but took a heavy tackle that won the ball and stayed down. Seems apprehensive and not as sharp after that. Still done some decent pressing without the ball. Wouldnt surprise me if she runs out of steam again like the last match. At least Williams is on the bench and can come on and be a threat
Theres been 4 tackles from the entire team so far, with 7 from Arsenal and they've had better buildup and linkup play between players. So steel isnt doing a lot at the moment. As long as Zelem is there the combative side wont change
After the timid start from the whole team I think they’ve been fine. Tidy in possession and pressing well. Change one of them to Naalsund or Miyazawa and I think we’d lose the midfield battle easily.
Miyazawa played right winger in a flat 4-4-2 when Japan won the U20 Women's World Cup around 5 years ago. I would slot her in Geyse's spot later if nothing improves there.
Yeah she’ll most likely play on the wing or in Toone’s position for us. So that leaves us with Naalsund as the only option. As mentioned I don’t think replacing either with her would improve us.
We got Rachel Williams on the bench though 
(no jinxing)
She will come on for Russo in minute 69, Skinner wont change that!

Ffs how did that stay out
Why is Galton not sliding in there!?
Oh my goodness.....should have been a goal
Brilliant reaction from Geyse after a heavy first touch. She’s a beast physically.
Close to the top!
Oh. Sounded like "you suck" to me too
But that makes senseGood defending
Bad free kick to give away... in a dangerous position.
Can’t believe how vulnerable both of our first teams are after our own set pieces.
That sure took long for the ref to dish a yellow card on McCabe.
McCabe gets her customary yellow
Arsenal is all hoof in the second half so far.
Make some subs skinner. These guys are fresh and we’re looking knackered.
We need to freshen things up to regain the momentum on the attack.
Russo could have got something there.
