ALW vs Canberra United @ Home

[Rising Sun]

Unfortunately langman is to short for goal keeper .

If she were a couple of inches taller she would be playing in Europe and for the Matildas so we wouldn't have her anyway. There are plenty of taller keepers that aren't as good, she'll do for me

 

[Ozhammer]

Glad the girls found a bit more energy second half, as they absolutely deserved to win today. Great subs at the right time, well done Em.

COYY! 💛💙

She redeemed herself well with that save in the second half.

 

[true believer]

Evans!!!

If she could get her knee right .she'd be a world beater

. the triple or the finger tip?

. Canberra butchered that triple - but the girls done good to recover nonetheless

It was a bad performance but we got the points. Happy with that. Trimis my WOTM. Fuller looks very impressive.
Evans goal was smartly finished.

 

[Big Al]

Fuller what a debut and 16. Very promising player

I thought Trimmis was horrible today and struggled in that position.

I thought Langman saved our bacon and we could have conceded 3 or 4.

Mcmahon had some great dribbling today.

Evans best performance as a mariner

And fuller all changed the game.

Nunn is very frustrating. There is a good player there but turns it over a lot

 

[crock]

Emily husband showed why she is coach of year made the changes need to help win that game

Nunn was poor today but to say "there is a good player there" is like saying "Picasso could paint a bit." She looked distracted today. Agree Langman was fantastic apart from the goal.
Disagree about Trimmis.

Not surprised. A lot of people would have begged off when the forecast was for the heavy rain about 4pm. As it was the coast seemed to avoid most of the rain.

. Nunn's first instinct is to run with the ball - which is great

. yesterday she was finding DDS style pockets (i.e. running into dead ends) before looking for a runner. this may have been partly due to the opposition's play but, regardless, her teammates had made their move beforehand which meant turnovers were more troublesome

. the player in there - just needs to get the links working better ... that's a new team issue (and we missed Iz)

. i know the girls have played some hot matches recently but do you think the pommie girls struggled with humidity?

. i thought Peta was good yesterday too - she is a lot less timid this year and thought she was trying to pick up a lot of Izzy's workload

Nunn has been excellent up to this game. Canberra played a stifling and overloading game in midfield which meant we struggled to keep the ball and link with the strikers. Even Galic was ordinary because they were man marking her. We weren’t mobile and dynamic enough to overcome this pressure until the subs came on. The subs stretched a tiring Canberra and even Galic started to get the ball. We started to find pockets of space in midfield.

It was a frustrating game to watch because of the tactics but fascinating to see all the machinations. It was a testament to see how far the women’s game has progressed.

Yes us Poms struggle with the heat and the humidity. Until you aclimatise its hard to breath. Also the pitches are like concrete compaired to UK pitches so your legs, feet and shins gets f**ked up but also the ball plays differently.
