Another thumping win in a North London Derby, what a delight! A brace from Caitlin Foord and a goal apiece from captain Kim Little and Frida Maanum painted north London red once again, propelling the team much closer to the top of the table. We might have moved from fourth to…fourth but we made a […]
How could we not score at the Allianz Arena?This question is still working me up, several hours after the final whistle.We definitely deserved more from the first leg of the UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-finals, especially in the second half, yet we head home with what is probably the worst possible score we could take. […]
“We cruised to victory against Reading…” reads the Arsenal website, in the aftermath of our thumping four-nil win against the Royals, at Meadow Park.Goals from Kim Little, Frida Maanum and Leah Williamson, as well as an own-goal from Emma Mukandi, sealed our third consecutive win in the league and helped closing the gap with the […]
We didn’t have much time to celebrate the magnificent League Cup win over Chelsea, did we? The team was back in business 48 hours after the Selhurst Park triumph, welcoming a struggling Liverpool side to Meadow Park. The bad news of a cold night in North London was the absence of Steph Catley, who was […]
Arsenal Women lifted the Continental Tyres Cup for the sixth time since its inception, the last one being in 2018. It’s the first trophy for Jonas Eidevall as Arsenal head-coach and the first trophy for the club since the league win in 2019 – four years ago. Contrarily to what a bitter Emma Hayes said […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
Where do we go from here? The question has been doing rounds in my head since the final whistle went at the Academy Stadium of Manchester. We deservedly lost to Manchester City and are now fourth in the table, five points behind Chelsea in first and three behind Manchester United in second. Manchester City leapfrogged […]
The good news is that we created chance after chance.The bad news is that we had to wait until the extra time to convert one of them. I feel like I am writing the same thing over and over, lately. I cannot say any bad word about how the team is setup, how the players […]
The second draw in a row might prove to be a very harmful one. After conceding a last-minute draw at home to Chelsea, Jonas Eidevall’s team travelled to south London determined to keep-up with the league leaders, who won at Tottenham, but could not get past a resilient West Ham team. The leit-motiv is always […]
The AWFC Journal – A tale of chances taken and missedA new page of the AWFC Journal was long overdue, I know. It’s been a while and more precisely since the home draw to Chelsea, which left a bittersweet aftertaste. Although we comfortably dispatched Aston Villa in the Conti Cup (3-0) and Leeds United in […]
