old_eastender Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 In case people don't realise; next two City Women games live (for free) on FA Player - that's the big clash with London City tomorrow 2pm and Southampton away next Sunday. When City played London City at home the girls tried playing our usual play it out from the back stuff - but London City were too good on the high press and we hardly got out of our own half in the first 45 mins. 2nd half went more direct and the goals followed. Hopefully that is not forgotten for tomorrow. Also London City I believe without arguably their most influential player in Lily Agg, as she got a straight red for an off-the-ball incident in their last match. So that should help! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Didn't realise the Southampton game was on FA Player too.

old_eastender Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 FT 2-0, London City by far the better team. I'd go as far as saying on this showing they had 4 or 5 players who looked a level above ours. Their keeper made several really good claims from crosses, but I don't think had a shot to save such was their dominance. We still have a 3 point advantage but will have to play an awful lot better than today over the the last 5 games to keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Londoner Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Just kinda felt London City wanted it more today.

Sarumred Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 London City by far the better team (only saw the 2nd half). Yes, we hold a three point advantage but goal difference has now swung in favour of LC. Difficult games to come against Southampton (a) and Charlton (h). Could be in for a nail biting finish to the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Only drop in now and again with the women’s football so caveat comments with that, but our right side looks excellent; pacy, strong with skill and composure, Morgan truly outstanding. The left, however, looks the opposite - really vulnerable and weak in the extreme. A few players looking like they’re running in treacle, notably at the front with the attackers needing to be more front foot and alive, some alarming space and time too for the opposition in our own box. Far from over, but if we can grab another early in the second half, hopefully we can grab the 3 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
