We could make this 10 v 10 but I’m worried about Cucurella. 3 fouls on Saka already (I didn’t think the one early on was a foul but I’ve not seen it back).

Thought we were the better side until then. A real shame but our lack of discipline has reared its ugly head again.

You could tell he was wound up from the start

The same kind of goes for the Ghana game, play the Champions of Africa and a side that give us fits in that same World Cup in Nigeria.

I think Lily is very good but why do we want to bring Wieke’s name in when she’s doing good also.

Going to defend Wieke. She has one of the best npXG+XA in the WSL this season and she’s 20 years old. fbref.com/en/players/e...

To me a team like Sunderland was and would be a difficult opponent for them, but there isn’t a team like Sunderland in this years Champions League. 04/05 Chelsea had the unfortunate circumstance of coming up against a Rafa Benitez Liverpool side and out Mourinho’d Mourinho.

At least they had a good time in spite of Nick Pope

A lad got a blowy in the away end bogs (he took his shirt off for it as well), this same lad then is seen trying to fight the French police and also had his shirt off earlier in the main square. There was a different guy climbing the segregated netting and those same away end bogs flooded.

There are benefits to being in it, younger players generally get chances to play minutes, it’s a chance as a trophy, but no one else in Europe has a 2nd domestic cup competition to play and next season there’s 4 extra league games as well.
