attack looked pretty bleak, really only set pieces at this point seem to hold any danger, the 1st goal was totally on the keeper though, and maybe Riley for gettting in her way.
second was just poor defensively again, lovely cross and a decent tap in. But the build up to that goal, noone from the midfield made a tackle, let the Nigerians move the ball whereever they wanted and left the runner down the wing to charge on Foster with no support.
Hassett's injury is a concern, hopefully it's just a winding and she's ok.
caught Riley smiling at the 72nd minute, like she's havign a laugh with the sideline crew before taking a throw - I don't mid her as a player - as a leader I have to question her ability to actually lead and fire get the team fired up. Klimkova too doesn't strike me as a strong leader - maybe the gentler style is what the women respoind too? But, for mine, laughing and joking isn't something you shouldn't really be doing when your 2-0 down and being dominated.
Short corners when we have no real strength in the attacking part of the field make no sense, we need to keep utilising Foster's accuracy and skill at set pieces - they seem to be our only way of scoring.
3rd and final nail in the coffin was ugly, again ball lost in the middle of the park from some really below average pasing by our women, just hit and hope, lose the ball catch your defense out and then let the opposition striker have two or three hits at goal.
Not great overall and hope they get their shark sorted.
