Aaaarggh. Charles so close there

Liverpool throwing everything forward and doing really well, but Everton defending well

The final ball from Liverpool has been shocking.

Charles should have had that.

Liverpool with another late chance but it comes to nothing

3 minutes injury time

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #2729 on:** November 17, 2019, 04:52:47 pm »

Should have been 2-0 to Everton that

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #2730 on:** November 17, 2019, 04:53:47 pm »

Full time

Liverpool 0 - Everton 1

Cracking game. The quality of the football was excellent.

Unlucky Reds.

Keeper the difference

Not a new thing to the women’s game

Attacking was terrible though. If the ‘shoot from orbit’ policy is going to be implemented maybe practice shooting

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #2732 on:** November 17, 2019, 04:54:56 pm »

Some really nice football from the Reds but looked completely toothless sadly. Didn't deserve to lose but then the keepers are always a wild card in the women's game.

Football is cruel sometimes.

If I was Jepson i'd change keepers next match. Show that it's time for players to take responsibility and perform. No more Ms Nice Luv.

Did everything but score. I would have been apocalyptic if Everton had nicked another at the death. They would have got nowt if our keeper hadn't decided to do a Karius impression.

We had a lot of energy but no end product. Saw a lot of crosses go in but nobody was on the end of any of them as far as I could see. A bit of focus up top and we could have had three goals though. We played reasonably well I thought.

Obviously a real gut-wrentching defeat in the most high profile game of the season. No shame with being being City, Chelsea and Arsenal but we should be competing with the rest of the teams.

Hopefully this defeat, and our predicament will start to concentrate minds and we might actually start improving things.

It'll get worse before it gets better. Same happened to Everton themselves not long ago......things tend to cycle around a bit more swiftly in the women's game, it's still a turbulent kinda lottery thing, until the big guns invest more in things like infrastructure (training, facilities, etc)

Good times though are coming, to women's football in general.......provided they are taken seriously enough by the bean counters.

Next four league games: Arsenal A, City A, West Ham H, Chelsea H. Four of the current top 3. Not a nice run regardless but it is especially poor timing off the back of yesterday because whatever good it did us can't now be made the most of. The West Ham game will be interesting because they are very hot and cold. But it looks a good bet that we will be bottom going into the Christmas break.

First four leagues games after the Christmas break: Brighton A, United H, Bristol H, Birmingham A. The other three teams currently making up bottom 4 with ourselves. Self-explanatory how key this month will be. Would be very nice for us to go into it having signed a few reinforcements.

Quick question

Have the womens team been included in the provisions when the training facility moves from Melwood to Kirkby?

I don't believe so (please correct me if this is wrong) which I think is a big oversight, especially when the aim was to create "One Liverpool".

kellan · « **Reply #2742 on:** November 18, 2019, 12:41:47 pm »

Pretty sure no is the correct answer. I've been keeping an eye on it for a while and haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. But I'll check again and see if anything has changed from when I last asked around.

Morgana · « **Reply #2743 on:** November 18, 2019, 12:49:56 pm »

Was at the game last night. Am ashamed to say I left at half time "for personal reasons" (à la VVD). We looked really good in the first half, esp. in defense and midfield, but a bit toothless in attack. Where was Rinsola? Is she injured?

This is the thing. haven't played any good teams yet bottom of the table without a single goal all season. maybe she is just a good coach not a managerial material?

Right you are. I wonder why she's not starting. In a lot of the highlights on LFC TV last this year she seems to be a goalscorer and we need goals.

It seems poor that everything about the women's team should be posted by Andy in this single thread in the main LFC forum.

Could there be a separate women's sub forum if there isn't sufficient interest for a separate website?

That seems back to front to me

Could there be threads in the main forum if there isn't sufficient interest for a specific women's sub forum?

(Yet! I know a few people who went to this a s I watched it on telly. It certainly is growing)

What was the atmosphere like? I'm assuming fairly family-oriented but glad to see a turnout. I'm trying to pay more attention to the women's team too since the summer. They need to get out of this run of form quickly.

Knight · « **Reply #2753 on:** November 19, 2019, 10:08:20 am »

Goal size doesn't help female keepers. They're smaller, weaker, slower and less athletic than their male counterparts at the top level of the men's game but they have to defend the same sized goals. I always feel a little sorry for them really.

It was a bit quiet to be honest, but the tier above us in the Sir Kenny Stand encouraged everyone to get going a few times.

Unlucky girls a real Derby effort.

They need to sort something out upfront, Only 1 in 6 goals scored so far in the WSL.

I only started paying attention this season and was surprised at the quality.

Thanks Andy.

This game was actually a sell out for the amount of tickets made available. A general sale on Sat at the ground was cancelled due to no further tickets being available.

No tickets where available on match day either way. They should have opened the Main Stand, thousands of fans (youngsters in particular missed out on this game) including me and the children I was going to take.

None of what I said was intended to be controversial or cruel to female goalkeepers, just a statement of biological reality when comparing top level keepers in the male and female game. There are shots that are meat and drink to Allisson which are literally unsaleable to women goalies, but we're conditioned by the men's game to have certain expectations for goalkeepers which the women cannot possibly match up to.

You make a fair point in my opinion, and made it well. It will doubtless cause controversy, but I think it's obvious a female keeper is the one position in the Women's game who is at a disadvantage due to the points you highlighted.

I have followed LFC Women since they played in a public park with ropes around the touchline, I used to take my young daughters. The women's game in general has come on tremendously and hopefully continues to grow, and I hope closer to home our own team get back to their best.

More, big high profile games at Anfield would be welcome for sure.
