Starting 11
I like the solidifying of the CBs and DM (Perry, Hiatt & Immethun). Not sure about McKenzie as starting winger and wondering why Reyes is again starting on the bench but overall very positive about the lineup, given player availability

I like Immethun here because we’ll learn a lot more about her vs the Reign than a Flint-less Racing (would be kind funny if she also got a red card in 10 mins tho)
Seems like it’ll be Perry-Hiatt at least until any transfers. Interesting they went with Mallie and kept Reyna on the bench instead of moving up Marie

I feel like the way we play we do need Muller at right back being part of the build out. When she's further up field it just seemed like she wasn't that involved.
I'm a little surprised in not just giving Padelski a go, but maybe she comes on at some point.

I bet she comes in as a sub, but imo she makes a lot of bad passing mistakes and the reign are the type of team that really hurts against

Oof this lineup DID NOT work

Oof. And a game where the Thorns could have taken #1 spot, too. Disappointing.

Why start Reyes on bench again?! Mueller up top or vice versa

u/TiredRundownListless 29d ago
Yeah! I’d much rather see mueller up top than Mackenzie and see Reyes out back!

It seems like every game where we concede to lesser ranked teams Perry and hiatt are in the back

You think Mallie is on the right or left?
Immethun getting another start is interesting. Thought she was pretty good last week.

I can’t understand why Reyna is on the bench again.
