WSL Cup: Liverpool Women v United Women | United win 0-1

Decent first half from us. Certainly not looking overwhelmed by playing a WSL1 team, the better team for long periods as well. Interesting to start getting a sense of who are players are as well.

James looks very comfortable out there, obvious why she's considered to be a bit of a prize for United, despite her age. Greenwood's more of a known quantity but she's dangerous at every setpiece. Hanson looks good, but not quite delivering the final ball. In fact that's probably a fair description of the match, some nice moves but not quite getting the final ball.
 
Millie Turner at the back is a rock. Lauren James omg she's a baby! But she playing ok against some experienced players.

Alex Greenwood's FK tho ... Nice. Then that chance by Jess Sigsworth...
 
Like everyone says ... Our final ball :( but not a bad half!

But the attendances tho... United home game must do better :D
 
The standout for me is James. The fact she is only 16 she is quality. Greenwood has a sweet left peg but she’s been skinned a few times she seems to lack’s some pace.

Sigsworth had a great chance to put us 1 up.

All in should be pretty happy with that first half
 
Think the lineup is something like this. Midfield 3 seemed to rotate with James starting as the DM then swapping with Zelem.

--------Hanson Sigsworth Arnott
----------------James Green
--------------------Zelem
Greenwood M.Turner A.Turner Smith
----------------Chamberlain

Mollie Green goes off at HT. Ella Toone comes on.

Ella's another highly rated youngster - 18 now, England U20 international. Another ex-United youth team player, she's been playing for City (and getting the odd start there, which tells you that she's got a lot of potential).
 
Heard some months back that James is one of the best young talents in the game.
 
Leah Galton on for Hanson. I think this is her first match (as an over 18) in England.
 
This Liverpool keeper is too good today.
 
Fecks sakes almost
 
And now Chamberlaine saves a one-on-one. Getting stretched out now this game.
 
The female De Gea with a nice save
 
Was the second half delayed ? It's still showing 80 mins on my stream. Should have finished by now I thought.
 
Get In!!!!!!! Yes!
 
Almost a 2nd! Great effort!
