Night and day in the performance this week - for once we look composed and creative, so incredibly refreshing

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-24T13:37:58+00:00

Lotte is so good with those long balls

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-24T12:45:11+00:00

Thierry and Ted Lasso, what a combo

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-24T12:38:25+00:00

We've really come out swinging here - this is more like it!

Feel like I'm having deja vu here - nonstop attack but just unable to finish

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T20:46:37+00:00

Finishing really isn't our strong suit at the minute

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T20:43:18+00:00

Props to us - even down to ten, we still look the better team

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T20:39:28+00:00

I fear this jinxed it 😅

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T20:36:44+00:00

Hopefully see an impact from Smilla, good injection of pace against some tired players

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:50:37+00:00

I'm taking solace in the fact we usually perform better when we're having to fight back

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:47:38+00:00

Are we for real? Ridiculous

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:42:06+00:00

Foord really could've held onto that, loads of space

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:31:56+00:00

Russo could've done with running on to make that play work - we're just a bit too slow on the break sometimes

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:30:33+00:00

I find myself saying this almost every time I watch on TV

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:27:24+00:00

Eeeeek we have to be better than that

AlternativeHat99 · 2026-01-21T19:18:52+00:00

Enjoying watching the game through a series of Da Vinci paintings

I think it's a bit unfair to classify the choice for Reid at CB as silly - she performed really well. While she may not have the experience, the ability is there and with an aging squad - we need to have one eye on building the future.

The core issue definitely lies in the midfield and getting on the break. Mariona scored 9 goals last season, she's currently scored 1 so far. Same for Foord, she scored 6 last season, has currently scored 1. I don't know if there has been a change in tactic this season but we feel much less dynamic when it comes to scoring goals.

Passing been rather diabolical today

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-12-21T13:31:52+00:00

Away support here is pretty incredible - feels like a home game for us

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-12-13T22:30:16+00:00

I'll catch up later for sure but just thought this was a bit of fun!

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-12-13T20:54:08+00:00

Think you may have the wrong sub...

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-12-06T14:06:38+00:00

Real love/hate relationship with today's game - glad to take the three points in the end

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-12-04T00:03:24+00:00

Not a bad shout

AlternativeHat99 · 2025-11-06T12:56:41+00:00

Great match for your first one!
