News: Isak & Gakpo missed training today and seem doubtful for City. Jacquet did train today.

Another great effort all over the pitch from our women's team today,
unfortunately despite many opportunities the goal just wouldn't come

A 1-0 defeat, the goal sadly came from our mistake, Midfielder Julia Zigiotti pounced on a loose ball then executed a superb chipped finish to capitalise on the early pressure with united dominating the first 10 minutes.

Liverpool showed great determination and created a fair few chances for the rest of the half having most of the play, a very smart double save by their very impressive goalkeeper Phallon Tullis Joyce, who done everything
right and nothing wrong all game much to the frustration of our girls,
she was clearly for me the player of the match.

Second half was quite even with both teams creating chances, 2 well matched teams played out the full 90+ minutes in credible fashion.

Despite the overwhelming disappointment at the result, there is so much to like watching this version of our women's team, always giving 100% effort every game, a talented team who with a bit more luck will see the results fall more regularly in our favour.

Due to an international break the next WSL match is against Aston Villa on the 18th October, that followes 3 days later with a potentially tasty re-match against Man United in a league cup tie.

Another rollercoaster of a match tonight for our ladies team up against
Birmingham City @ St Andrews

The 1st half performance was again pretty dominant with Fuka Nagano
once again pulling the strings in midfield saw us once again take a 4th
minute lead with a nice shot from outside the box by Marie Hobinger ?

Much of the play and chances were created by Liverpool until the 34th
minute when a long punt downfield from defence upfield allowed
Birmingham a rare chance which they duly took 1-1

Sadly shortly before half time our main striker Aurelie Csillag went over Innocuously in the box which resulted in her being stretchered off
No details to the extent of her injury but I wish her a speedy recovery.

Gareth Taylor decided at halftime to rest Fuka Nagano with the WSL match vs Man United his clear thought process.

Birmingham pressed from the off 2nd half and scored a quick 50th minute headed goal to go 2-1 in front. But our ladies responded immediately with 18yrs young Neve McDonald rapidly making it 2-2 ?

3 minutes later after a smart give & go Marie Hobinger chipped the
Keeper from the edge of the box for a lovely goal 3-2 ?

The game became more open, Birmingham had a few chances & on 76mins they capitalised to level the match 3-3

Liverpool up the pace at this point, creating quite a few opportunities
to try and win the game in normal
time " a draw would see a penalty shootout "

2 minutes were added to the 90 as we pressed for the winner, after yet another good effort which was very well saved by the goalkeeper, a corner was awarded which was delivered beautifully for the effervescent & much talented
Natalia Ramos to latch onto and score a deserved winner, 4-3
luvly jubly ?

With lots of changes to the line-up making full use of the squad this was another impressive result, so well done again to everyone involved ?

Onto Saturday, .
1.00 o'clock BBC 1 for a 1.30 kick off vs Manchester United.

Congratulations to our ladies team this afternoon winning 2-0 for their 1st victory in a competitive match at Anfield when up against Everton.

Under the watchful eyes of Andoni Iraola and his family. Liverpool got off to the perfect start, Beata Olsson scored a lovely headed goal from a corner after just 4 minutes.

Liverpool's wing play was dominant 1st half, but the ladies couldn't add to the score line despite having the majority of the play with Everton
reduced 2 just the odd foray upfield

2nd half Everton started to show more conviction without really troubling the Liverpool goal.
The game became a bit scrappy but as it pushed towards the end we had 2 great chances, 1 blocked
and 1 cleared off the line superbly, both by Everton's best player Ruby Mace.

A great move settled the tie, Fuka Nagano's lovely pass down the line for Alice Bergstrom who crossed into the box and Cornelia Kapocs sealed the deal.

Not at our swashbuckling best but a solid enough performance ensured the hoodoo was once and for all finally broken.

Well done ladies ?

Birmingham City up next this Weds evening in a league cup match, followed next Saturday with a WSL encounter away versus Man Utd
which is being shown live on BBC1

Oh just realised our next game should be an interesting one ?.

24 Sep 2026 21:49:54
Cody Gakpo what a goal! Fantastic pass and finish!

26 Sep 2026 10:01:24
Shame it wasn't Premier League he'd get goal of the season for that. Glad he never left.

23 Sep 2026 15:00:31
On a side note. international breaks are awful. especially this long.

Anyway great result for our u21s coming back from 3-1 down with 10 men to win on pens against Rochdale!

Nice to see Will Wright get a couple too, would be ideal to see him kick on.

You can interpret it any which way you like, but at some point Iraola has to realise that with the current midfield players at his disposal he cannot continue to play his preferred formation and expect to win games and or continue to get lucky.

Yesterday, I thought we got lucky, yes Iraola made changes, but like for like; again, after 10 minutes (like Fulham), it was clear the midfield was not functioning, too many times when we tried to play out from the back Mac Allister was left against five Bournemouth players. ridiculous, Scobaszlai off meandering wherever he wanted - simply too open!!

When Bournemouth had possession, a simple long ball through the channels and they were on our back four - again, simply, too easy!

As an aside - Jacquet has been very decent and looks a solid player.

21 Sep 2026 05:45:04
I don't think we got lucky at all. Bournemouth are a decent team that had a very clear game plan that they executed well. They have been unbeaten at home since 4 Jan 2026. I thought we did well to hang on with what they threw at us and deserved our goal too. Both sides created chances and we just about shaded it in the end.

21 Sep 2026 10:27:58
I understand the concern but asking the manager to drop his preferred formation after one month isn't reasonable. We're a work in progress, some players will need more time than others and that might cost us points. The idea is that it's worth it in the long run.

Social media and the constant media coverage trains us to make judgements after every match - "This player should be dropped" "That formation can't be used". They're extreme positions to take after 5 league games under a new manager.

I'm not singling you out, I'm guilty of it too. It's very hard to get away from that line of thinking because it's the culture now. I think we all need to take a step back though.

21 Sep 2026 10:32:30
I'd go along with that Drac.

Any away game in the PL is difficult to win but especially against a team on a run like Bournemouth are.

Just look at what happened to Arsenal and Chelsea this weekend. These are tough, tough games.

We limited them to one real chance that was only really a half chance and we got our goal. Job done.

I'm not saying it was a great performance and we can all pull individual players performances apart but at the end of the day we did enough to win a very difficult away game and kept our 3rd clean sheet in a row.

21 Sep 2026 22:36:56
Richard Hughes (a former centre half himself) got absolutely crucified for some of the signings he made?

But there is no doubt whatsoever that he left Liverpool Football Club with the next Alan Hansen, I'll just put me Jacquet on!

YNWA Andoni.

At some point, I'm sure he ll realize and change a lot of things, but it's not 5 games into a season he just took over. Nothing is final yet. Come back to me around Christmas time and we ll consolidate on what needs to change.

I haven't given up hope that Grav decides it's time to be a DM again.

20 Sep 2026 20:00:15
City game is going to be a test. For me I would go with ALi in goal. a back four of Auarjo, Jacquet, Virgil and Gomez. Best defenders we have. Midfield of Nyoni, Soboz and McAllister. Gakpo, Isak and Munoz up front.

Fresh pace from Barcola and Koumas as subs.

I'm not giving up on Wirtz I just think he is lacking confidence and you can't go into the game against city like that.

20 Sep 2026 22:26:55
Munoz looks like a work horse but he also looks like a headless chicken at times. We can't afford that from the off with city, he's probably more useful off the bench.

What we need is Barcola to step up, and bring more end product and focus to his game. Gakpo has been good so far this season so leave him in.

The midfield starting two of Trey and Macca is getting closer by the game. Szob probably edges the third spot, simply because he's slightly more physical and he has end product.

{Ed666's Note - Munoz is playing out of position as he’s naturally left sided. He’s sacrificing himself for the team playing on the right. Barcola hasn’t had a pre season and hopefully we’ll see his best after the international break.

21 Sep 2026 11:33:51
Yeah stick Gomez in against probably the best team in the league when he has hardly played all season, what could go wrong.

21 Sep 2026 18:19:56
Piffmunda I'd take Gomez with no game time over Kerkez any day.
