not saying that the 3 goals were all the keeper's fault, it never really is but Nayler really should have done better on all of those shots, none of them were that difficult if she'd been stronger in the air and just better.
IMO when she starts we concede more goals than we should and for whatever reason the defense's confidence looks decidedly low when they are in front of her.
I don't know why she keeps on being given caps. 

Serious questions need to be asked about the coaching staff's competence to coach and manage the national team.
She has been good for us in the past... but that past has moved on. Every game from the 2021 Olympic football until now that she has played, she has played poorly or at best hasn't played well. It's a pretty simple equation. A competitive rotation between Anna Leat and Vic Esson will be good to take us towards the World Cup next year (Lily Alfeld is a solid ALW keeper and massive for Nix but I don't think is at the same level). 

I think Nayler is 3rd choice. She had a least 1 howler going back to the 2019 WWC from memory as well. But she has a lot of experience that will be useful for Esson & Keat to continually learn from in squad settings.

But you wonder if there is little bit of player power from some of the older heads, that Nayler is still getting starts in these windows rotating with Esson, who's been very good since coming in.
