So did we have another sock issue but they kept it under wraps??

Not really the main talking point but Williamson will be crucial for us against low blocks in the future. I’m also convinced she can play anywhere across the back and in midfield. May not be amazing at it but very handy if ever needed. Please let her injuries be past her and keep her fit.

the lack of fluidity from Katie the last few games deserves a mention. also 37 shots what is this a bachelor party????

Our 3rd goal is both offside and handball but villa deserved it, they irritated me so much with that defensive play. Btw, Villa’s goalkeeper is not that great, she made few good saves but our finishing is bad. They got one good chance and scored, poor marking from LWM. Overall our girls put an excellent effort to get the win, no credit should go to Jonas, I’m still expecting him to be sacked.
Got the win, but not a great performance. At least it might boost the mood and give Jonas something to think about before Chelsea again
Edit: did anyone see/know who got PotM?

Another shitshow really, gave up another stupid goal, and massivly underperformed when it comes to goal scoring, i remember when we used to put teams away in games like this but this season we have really struggled; this game actually summed up our season perfectly. Once again a shambolic ref, clear pen not given our way same goes for the freekick on mead edge of the box, ill counter balance this with our 3rd goal was offside and included a handball the fact the officials cant spot any of them is baffling. Id be tempted to try out, zins, fox, leah, lotte, mccabe, little, pelova, mead, russo, lacasse, stina, in all honesty i feel like since rafa left the teams had no balance, we possibly still miss a jill roord type presence too and a fully firing winger atm. Big game up next in the cup final we need a massive performance then. COYG!

Random comment but why does Russo wear her shirt (at least) a size too big
I’m genuinely surprised ngl. Glad we won tho but this wasn’t their best. Shoutout to Vicky p, Lotte and Stina. Overall the second half was better they had a lot more fight in them. I hope Jonas plays Stina + alessia more often bc they work well together as others have mentioned.

That post game interview with Pelova was so painful to watch. Not sure if it was a language barrier or what.

Happy to get the win! I feel like we have a preferred starting XI that should include: Lacasse, Russtenius, and KM (in lieu of Catley) at minimum. I hope Jonas stops messing around for these last games — but I’m not hopeful.
We are so much more dynamic with Russo in the 10, not only because she seems most comfortable and skillful there, but because she and Fox have great interplay (is that the word?) that moves the ball quickly and more dangerously. And Stina in the 9 keeps defenses honest and opens up space.

Loved the diagonal crosses we were playing, those changes of angle made it harder for the defence. It may have been Villa playing really badly, but it was encouraging to see a lot of quality chances created, albeit with some wasteful finishing. Our issues with low blocks has been an inability to create, so this was a better game.
Also, the ref was really poor today. Multiple fouls including a clear pen not called, wrongly gave us a throw, hilariously allowing that Stina goal. Not good enough.

Just a neutral popping in to say thank you for entertaining me this evening Arsenal. Paid 12 quid for a Sky Sports day pass and was worth every penny to see that Blackstenius chaos goal 😂 On a serious note when will Jonas seriously switch on to playing Stina and Russo together? They compliment each other so well.

I am so happy we got the win. Yeah, the 1st half was awful and that goal shouldn’t have happened, but 3 points are 3 points. I’m not making any excuses for the dreadful 1st half, but I’m sure being 6h in a bus at a closed motorway couldn’t have helped.
They created A LOT of great opportunities and they kept pushing after all of those chances didn’t go their way. If hitting the woodwork competition was a thing, Arsenal wfc would be the undisputed champion.
I can only imagine the pressure they were under and what they were feeling after that Chelsea loss and trailing tonight at half-time, but I’m just glad they had enough strength to turn the game around.

Stina in the 9 and Russo in the 10. Yes please
Stina v Brighton or Stina v Villa?
Two goals I’ll never forget that’s for sure. She’s a good one, I hope she stays.
RUSSTENIUS MUST START AT ALL TIMES.
Did anyone see Stina getting hurt? Apparently she’s gone straight down the tunnel along with the physios?
Okay so I thought I was going crazy but we’re in our blue socks in that pic yes?
