I watch football and write for The Halfway Line. Nameโ€™s pronounced Rose not rOOs.

Yes I 100% agree.

This switch makes so much sense for her. Why play for a federation (Jamaica) that consistently dismisses their womenโ€™s team, when you can play for the 2 time Euroโ€™s champions?

So yes, my mind went the same way yours did
In the past 2 WSL games weโ€™ve seen that once our tactics have been โ€˜found outโ€™ and the opponent has adjusted accordingly, we seem to fall flat. Do you think we need more tactical flexibility?

The UEFA Womenโ€™s Champions League is back!

Had the pleasure of speaking to Dutch international Jackie Groenen about PSGโ€™s approach to this new campaign, after they went out in the qualifying stages last season. Also asked her about PSGโ€™s new signings.

HERA United: About the Netherlands' first women-only football club - The Halfway Line

What is it that they have, according to you. And: Does this, and if so, how does it relate to our performance on Saturday? (2/2)
Itโ€™s not the Chelscast, but letโ€™s draw a comparison here anyway. Chelsea were drab against Villa but won 3-1. They were drab against Leicester but held on to a 1-0. Thereโ€™s a reason they constantly manage to win, despite not always playing well. Season in, season out (1/2)
What would you have done if you were manager to break down Utdโ€™s stubborn structure?
Hey, my two favourite podcasters.

Fox has played 3 full 90s with no clear back up. Does this worry you? Seen some sloppiness (unusual for her!) as well yesterday.
Donโ€™t get me wrong though because Katie was 100% my POTM yesterday.
Reid is good, but Leah is better. Reid misses the progressive (long) passing that Leah has, which we also missed yesterday imo

Am watching the match now & her aerial presence is definitely lacking to me - plenty of times where I feel she should have gone for the ball but doesnโ€™t. But youโ€™re right, only one game.
Thanks. Keen to see her play soon - hopefully Wednesday, when we can actually watch the game. Bloody blackout!
Nice read! How did Borbe play? Did she do well? I agree that she would probably not have joined to be 3rd choice, she was finally 1st choice at Wolfsburg when she left them.
