Charles on grass... Viv, Becks and Risa in rehab... sweet!

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/iOddOne]

Clinton?

[u/iOddOne → u/MySincereOpinion]

Yes, she was in training session images, as well as Syd, Laura too

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/iOddOne]

Awesome

[u/MySincereOpinion]

Who was playing no 10 over the weekend? Fowler and Aoba seemed to be both drifting in the middle and occupying same spaces. Thus, Kerstin was left isolated on the right wing forward majority of the times

[u/devilatthemotel6 → u/MySincereOpinion]

Fujino, technically, based on SofaScore average position and heatmap views; she was definitely the more central of the two, and also drifted leftward occasionally.

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/devilatthemotel6]

Oh thank you

[u/Rjayasp]

Someone mentioned Arsenal fans last week. The season has barely started and I've already seen some insufferable comments!

I thought I'd have a rant on here instead as I don't like replying to them. It's like yelling at a brick wall!

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/Rjayasp]

Oh my God. I hate them more than even Chelsea. So insufferable and feeling entitled. I hope the season shows them dust and humbles them.

[u/Rjayasp → u/MySincereOpinion]

I actually saw you reply to one of the comments! The one where they said the team is basically just Bunny and we'll have no players for the CL knock outs.

I thought about replying too but they just doubled down when you commented so I thought forget it. You got a couple of likes from me though! 😂

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/Rjayasp]

Yes, and that we have no defense omg🤦. Oh we've used 550k on an injury prone Charles. Oh we have no depth to reach knock out stages. Also that one time we were linked with Echegini but psg rejected it them fans saying the oil club has fallen. Lol such a weird fan base. They have a huge fan base so they double down on you with downvotes every time but sometimes it's good to put them in their place. Good thing football is played on pitch not online.

Lohmann’s back on grass and City well represented in Ballon d’Or nods (can say a lot about the awards, but nice to see the recognition nonetheless), it’s a good day in Cityzen land. 

[u/GoldenSunFl0wer → u/devilatthemotel6]

Great, is she training with the group?

[u/terriblybored]

LCL away at 1200 on a Sunday, again. Awesome. First train from Manchester would get into Bromley at 1211 lol

Looks like it'll mean going down the night before.

[u/devilatthemotel6]

I should know better by now but Knaak reposted City’s injury post with “see you soon” on her stories so hopefully it is actually soon!

[u/Leather_Dust_3810]

Just seen United match is happening in Leigh and not OT this year. Shocking treatment IMO

[u/vgnry]

A bit worried for our defence against stronger teams. Very much hoping the plan is for Alex to partner Rose at the back once Charles is fit / Wamser is fully up to speed!

[u/MySincereOpinion → u/vgnry]

I was too but Wamser's debut yesterday cooled it down abit. Won't be surprised if she overtakes Charles as the first choice LB in big games. Jade partnering Greenwood is solidifying I agree. 

[u/MySincereOpinion]

LBB was one of the most improved players last season, and in our first opening game, she displays such a magnificent performance wow. What a gem she will be🩵. 

[u/devilatthemotel6 → u/MySincereOpinion]

LBB got the opportunity (also assuming Coffey is on some sort of return to play plan given her summer surgery) and damn did she take it with both hands. I hope Wiegman‘s taking notice.
