I’m now watching the match with a sense of utter disbelief, 2-0 down at half time.
That was a bit shit
I have to say, the Women’s team hasn’t looked good for a few games now, and has got away with it a couple of times.
Hope this is not us unraveling at this point in the season. It would kill me for Chelsea to leapfrog us to the title this season. I effing hate that club.
We really need to beat them on their turf now I’m not sure even a draw will be enough but shall we have enough players? There were no forward options on the bench today and the bare minimum cover for the rest of the field.
