ALW R15 vs Western United

[gemkayem]

Ohhh Kyah so close

 

[marinermick]

Again dominating but again fragmented in the front third. No cohesion.

Rola is so frustrating. A girl of her size should not be pushed off the ball so often and she slows down rapidly when she dribbles the ball.

Teams are working us out. Mark Urgs heavily and you dramatically cut our attacking strength.

Yeah she really needs to just stay on her feet and be stronger in those challenges.
Can see the class of Simon already.

 

[gemkayem]

Liking Shay Evans, has a lot of energy and is always looking for the ball

Our passing was horrible today. Pitch seems to play slow but we never adapted at all and continually under hit simple balls.

Badawiya needs to be stronger and faster on those 1 on 1 chances.

Second goal came about through some poor decision making by the keeper. Very avoidable.

Simon looks promising and when she can start we’ll have much more teeth in attack.

 

[gemkayem]

Not to be today. Think the subs were good though

 

[Wombat]

Our passing is woeful. Even Gomez kept giving the ball away.

But we fight hard. Langman should have done better on both goals.

Next week game is big against a good victory team

their application of pressure football was the best i've seen in the W league.

Tough call for the first one but her footwork was terrible for the second one. She was falling backwards. If she stood strong and leaped vertically she would have got both hands on the ball.

She shouldn’t have got caught with the ball before the save was required.

Few notes from the game
- Western seemed a lot better at using the full width of the pitch, and spreading out back 4 out.
- Once Badawiya improves 1v1s and pace, will be a fantastic striker
- passing wasn't as good as I've seen on TV games, but as mentioned above, WU'S press was pretty good all game
- subs were well used. Simon's off the ball runs are from a much higher standard than the ALW. Just need a midfielder who can make the passes
- and lastly, forget how weird watching football is in Tasmania. No atmosphere and no noise as a cross comes in or a shot is blocked. It's bizarre. Was an absolutely lovely day weather wise.

Her head is down every time as well and takes her a couple of dribbles to get control before she lifts her head. Misses so many one touch or touch then pass opportunities

 

[Ozhammer]

WU were a well drilled side and showed why they are second in the league. We toiled hard but if we don’t convert the chances we create at a higher percentage rate, we are going to find it difficult to win games like this one.

Wurguqmila has faded badly out of games in recent weeks and perhaps Simon’s return will give our opponents someone else to focus on and allow her to rediscover her mojo.

Let’s hope our girls can trip up Victory at the double header. ??

But the normies still vote her player of the match over Irwin who did a massive job in defence holding Logarzo.
