Aston Villa Women 2023/24

[edgysatsuma89]

Dali is the one who seems to have fallen off the most..she has contributed soo little, particularly since the WC….but she seems to stay on for the whole game which feels sentimental on Wards behalf.

Recruitment has been poor, the fact they haven’t signed anyone who hasn’t already played in WSL suggests they aren’t exactly casting net very wide

From what I've watched recently Dali doesn't look as comfortable in her running as she was last season. I don't know what the injury was at the world cup but 3 months out doesn't suggest anything career threatening but from watching her she just seems off in how she's moving, like she's scared or compensating for something. She's the big difference for me, she wasexceptional last season.

The last couple of times I have seen her in the flesh, her decision making and execution was terrible. Like you say, she was exceptional last season, but this season I have not been impressed at all.

I think the thing with Dali is if she doesn't see Rachel Daly ahead of her making a run she doesn't know what to do. So Daly playing much deeper has an effect on how whole team performs. IMHO.

Anyone else struggling to get the game on the FA player?

Lehmann booked for flicking an eyelash at the referee.

Just tuned in to see Villa's defence acting like Fred Karno's Circus

Don't blame her being as she is being ignored even as makeshift LB now and especially in her favoured striker position. 2-0 up against Ireland from the 12th minute and she is put on for 4 minutes.

I also expect her to go for one more cash making move this summer.

It's clear that Russo is the favoured striker and Daly certainly doesn't need the aggro of travelling as a reserve at this stage of her career.

Ultimately I can't quite believe how little last seasons golden boot winner hasn't been used as a striker.

You cant, I can't, and I reckon she can't.

Could be a real beating against Chelsea this evening.
Forecast 4-1
Hannah Hampton in goal for them.
Live on sky sports.

Chelsea’s Emma Hayes went down in my estimate when she pushed Arsenal manager and justified it saying she didn't like ‘male aggression’ . She's off at end of season and seems want to do as she likes.

Leat sent off for making a save outside her area already.

Poor is the replacement… on for Salmon.
