Newcastle, you're the League Cup holders. Your pride is on the line here. Bruno and Joelinton, I'm looking at you in particular. You'll need to be your most emotional, fired-up selves for that tie

Of course it will, because nobody bothers to align their calendars in the women’s game with each other
The inaugural Women’s Club World Cup will take place in January 2028 in the middle of the European domestic football season, FIFA confirmed on Wednesday.

In our last 5 games we’ve used:
5 different front 3s
3 different midfield 3s
5 different back 4s
Some of it’s injury enforced of course.
But it’s too much change to deliver consistent performances.
The cohesion is gone.
We’ve got to be able to start picking the same team

Basically, I think we’ve got this and the villa game the wrong way round
Last week we needed Martinelli and Gyokores, today we need Eze and Merino
To give Arteta some defence, I wonder how possible that was with where various players are in returning from injury and being back in the squad

Without knowing any injury related info, feels like the wrong team out there today
Want to see Odegaard getting on the ball and finding ways into the box
Want to see Eze on the left trying to create and pull out the tricks, not Martinelli stuck having nowhere to run

Glad I’m not the only one totally bemused by there only being 4 minutes added on
I’m sure that’s how long the wolves head injury took, let alone factoring in Whites injury and the other bits and pieces

You know what really pisses me off? When you post as innocent a question in your local cities subreddit such as ‘Any recommendations for a repair for my tumble dryer that just broke down’
And the first reply you get is someone sharing a link to where you can buy a ‘learn Dutch’ book

Quite how the women only ended 1-0 I’ll never know, but was good to see us attack consistently throughout the 2nd half and look for the 2nd, rather than sit back and hope we hold on
I’ll take any encouraging sign I can find
