> **On scoring two goals from setpieces and new setpiece coach Chris Bradley…**
Chris is taking over the setpieces, which is very exciting. Chris is very ambitious with setpieces and he has a lot of experience with them in the men’s game. And we bring him here because he also has expertise in the women’s game. That is very exciting and I think you see today some of the fruits from that, obviously we want to see an improvement over time. Setpieces is a major factor for us to improve, especially because we generate so many compared to other teams. We generate more than any other team, it is not only that it is an important factor, for us it is an even more important factor. If we can improve the effectiveness on that, we know we will generate a lot of setpieces.
Glad it’s been asked about, even happier to hear he has prior experience in the womens game. I don’t mind people crossing over, either way, as long as the differences are understood and respected.

We are looking to keep her with us.
More to this answer, and often I don’t copy the full answer, but if I copied it all there’s no traffic and aside from being well deserved, traffic is and always will be (no matter the source) what’s needed for us to continue seeing this kind of content.
> **On this pre-season compared to last pre-season…**
What you can see is that we have been able to experience a proper pre-season. It is a surreal experience when you think back to it, coming into Linkopping with artificial turf and you roll out the first pass and the ball rolls differently and you think ‘we have had two training sessions together’ and you immediately have to solve these situations that are new to us but it is Champions League and we need to start solving things off the cuff.
Literally the only reason I never blamed him or the squad for that disastrous start. He doesn’t even go into fatigue (overloading *or* underloading) issues that our players had. It was an insane schedule and I can’t believe it was ever allowed to happen, not just for us but for anyone. UEFAs premier club competition should not be treated like an afterthought, but the athletes are treated like an afterthought so at least they’re consistent…
Respect_Horror on
I’ll be curious to see when the youngsters will go out on their loan. I’m guessing we’re keeping them for the CL qualifiers on 7&9 september and then they’ll go to their respective clubs? I think we start back up again on the 22nd against City. Surprised we aren’t doing another friendly inbetween those games
