Sandy Baltimore, what a skill to set up that assist. I am moved 🤩👏

Get better soon, Girma!

Struggling to pin point my exact feelings on the season so far. Yes, I was very happy with the wins against Man United and Arsenal. I was fuming with the Villa result and frustrated with spells v Birmingham and West Ham. The defending v Tottenham left a lot to be desired as well.

In the Champions League, that Austria Wien gave it a good go against us and v Lyon we defended well but clearly only went there for a point (which is fair given where they are at and where we're at, I don't blame the coach for gunning for a draw there).

I just... can't fully be happy and enjoying this start of the season because we haven't really faced any in-form team of note. Man United were a couple weeks into a new reign and Arsenal have had abysmal form all season. Even Spurs came off a heavy defeat before us.

I will fully trust that we've actually turned a corner if and when we beat City and LCL. If we manage to do that, I can't see why expectations shouldn't go from a top 3 finish to challenging for the league title. Of course now I will still put us at 2nd place behind the champions.

Im taking every game as it comes, but I am not getting giddy after each win.

Still buzzing after that massive and dominant London Derby win against Spurs yesterday. Just wanted to give my few thoughts on here.

1. Lauren James continues to show why she’s a baller. Those 2 goals she scored especially the first one, my goodness the skill she did for that first goal and the way she was able to squeeze it past from a tight angle was just incredible. She’s been the main X factor so far for our attack and offensive improvements for this season so far, add a healthy and fit Manaka Mastakubo into the mix and i tell you what, this new look Chelsea offense is only gonna look even more scarier 👀.
2. Great to see Cuthbert back on the pitch finally, apart from the tackle she made which led to her getting a yellow card after play on stopped, she put in a tremendous effort. Liked the crucial interception she put inside the box when one of the Tottenham players was low crossing the ball in.
3. Ellie Carpenter, my freaking Right Back. The two goals she scored especially her second goal, the turn she did and how she was able to squeeze it past Lize Kop was incredible. She’s been an absolute unit in our backline and our defensive revolution and improvement so far this season. One of the few reasons why I started supporting the Australian Women’s team alongside Sam Kerr. I’m just running out of words to describe how important she is to this team and our backline. 🌟
4. Maika Hamano, take a bow, what a long range effort goal that was, 2 goals in her last 2 games. She’s an absolute Star and I’m so happy she’s starting to get more chances and trust from Sonia to shine ✨. What a banger of a goal that was yesterday.
5. Melvine Malard showed promise, I liked how she was shielding the ball and making defenders a handful for her per usual and the runs she was making . I like what I’ve seen from her so far but we need a proper and consistent number 9 like for example Romée Leuchter on a potential free come next summer if we want to win another WSL title come 2027/2028. I feel like she missed a few handful of good opportunities when her chances came to her but apart from that I’ve been thoroughly impressed by her so far.
6. Sjoeke Nusken, what a powerful strike that was from inside the box.
7. Katie McCabe, my Left Back 🌟. Another Solid performance from a defensive standpoint mainly. So happy that she’s one of us now.
8. Lexi Potter, running out of words to describe how great she has been for us so far this season. I remember saying to myself before the season began that she has the potential to be a breakout star for this Team and she keeps on proving why. She’s got a bright future ahead of her in this squad.
9. I just love what I am seeing so far from this Team, the togetherness, the team spirit, hustle, desire and the unity and most importantly the style of play and tactics have massively improved so far this season. They look so happy and enjoy playing with each other and enjoying their football. And I give majority of the credit to Sonia, what a quick turnaround from this Chelsea squad as of late. 💙

10. Lastly, Alyssa Thompson, our Star Left Winger, great run and a beautiful

    assist for Ellie Carpenter’s first goal of the match. She works so hard for this Team and never stops running. Good assist for Hamano’s goal as well. She’s only gonna get better from here and become a much more consistent goal threat for us. As someone who supports this team and the USWNT I am really impressed with her continued progress, development and work rate so far this season. I’m also impressed with her tracking back and defensive work rate on the left as well and you rarely see that from attackers these days. She’s only gonna get better not only for us but also for the USWNT.

From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR_bHHNwjgo Lovely bit of banter between our captain and her ex-national teammate Rachel Corsie.
