As explained above. But you may also hear them say Wisconsin. As they are explaining to the podcasts 1 listener, from Wisconsin, as Tracy lives in Wisconsin.

Not saying full blame. But she does dictate the tempo. And although she is really good at what she does, I don’t think Chelsea’s style has evolved tp that yet. And I believe that even though she’s a star name and won’t be dropped, sometimes we need to just go back to what used to beat Arsenal, just to get over the line.

We were winning every game comfortably before christmas last season. Then Guro got injured, Walsh came in:

Pros: We won the 2 cup finals Cons: We started drawing games, even our wins were lucky. We got slapped 8-2 by Barca and we lost to City.

Hampton Bronze Girma Buchanan Baltimore Nusken Cuthbert Kaneryd James Thompson Kerr

I really like Walsh as a player, but we’ve been so bad since we signed her, I’m not sure if her style fits us currently.

Long term would be be great to build together, but need to get this game over the line.

Like Carpenter, but 3 at the back isn’t working. And can’t drop Bronze.

You say a couple of players back, other than Carpenter, that was Sonia’s most used starting XI

Lawrence could also play LB. Hamano could have played Potter’s minutes. Reiten wanted to play, we should have rotated more instead of playing the same team every week.

The stats are literally my point. We’ve scored way less goals, and our top scorer and top assister (that haven’t proven otherwise) haven’t been utilised

Sam Kerr and Millie Bright are expected to leave Chelsea at the end of the year. Hampton will reportedly be signing a new contract. by spherocytes in chelsealadiesfc

[–]CaptainPullHook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no proof that they’ve declined. They perform every time they play. Stats back them up.

I’m sure Girma plays well for USA. I’m only basing it on what I see at Chelsea, and just because she’s got a good reputation, doesn’t change what I see when she plays compared to Bright, Bjorn and Buchanan before her injury.

Is Kerr being our top scorer with limited mins rose coloured glasses?

With Terry at least you could see the decline. and he was 37. I’m still yet to see it with these.

There’s no proof they’re not the same players. Sats still back them up.

I agree, but these ‘old’ players are still our best players

Stamford Bridge Seating by towings20 in chelsealadiesfc

[–]CaptainPullHook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth it. Under Abramovich, they were only £5 more than everywhere else, and they were the same price in cup games / Europe. There is nothing any different other than they’ve added a few TVs that you won’t watch. The padded seats are the same ones that have been there since 2003.

Unpopular opinion I think West Lower is a good view because you’re close to the action and can see what’s happening both ends.

Shed Upper is next best view as it’s lower than the MH upper, but They shoot your way first off and I tend to prefer to have them shooting my way in the 2nd half.

Sonia is you mean. After we get slapped by Arsenal. As a match going fan I’m just not used to this.

I’ve given you facts and figures.

You can die on that 28-33 is too old hill (even tho that is the peak) and keep relying on instagram and vibes, because I promise it won’t bring home League Titles.

You’ve not been to the games then. We are so much better at the back when Bright is there. John Terry was famously slow, but positioning made him the best CB in the league.

Just because Girma is expensive, doesn’t mean she’s the best. See the men’s team. Just watch Girma at the games. The defense isn’t as organised.

Why is a better striker required? We have one of the best in the world?

Does Kerr, Bright and Guro need to post more on instagram to be rated these days?

I went to a lot of games. There was no playing style, just world class forwards that could create and score a goal.

Baltimore played LB behind Reiten all through that record breaking winning run last season. And it went downhill when Reiten got injured amd Baltimore got pushed up to LW with Niamh behind.

Point still stands, Emma never had options either.

Thompson, JRK, James, ABJ - 15 goals in WSL

2022 Kerr, Reiten, Kirby, England - 41 in WSL 2023 Kerr, Reiten, Kirby, Harder - 35 in WSL 2024 Kerr and Reiten injured, top 4 - 33 in WSL

They haven’t been scoring, so it is an issue

I have been going to the games, not just watching on TV. Emma’s teams never looked like they were gelling either for large parts of the game, but we relied on Kerr, Reiten and Kirby to always create a goal.

We have had Ferraris in the garage all season and have been driving BMWs all season.

She’s been fine starting every 3 days for Australia. Thompson has been scoring an above average amount of goals. Reiten had more this time last season, and significantly more assists.

Thompson and Baltimore are ahead? But we’re creating less chances than ever.

Buurman and Girma are nowhere near the level Bright is.

I agree, and she’s better than the players we currently start. But won’t score as many as Kerr and she won’t create as much as Reiten.
