So far, Foord and Mead seem to be having opposite performances compared with last season. Can Foord find her best form again and finish the season on a high?

Thoughts on the Athletic article released this morning?

Thoughts on Kyra in an advanced role these international games?

Struggling to find many positive learning points from this window other than Kyra in the 10, and the reintegration of Kerr!
Few solid performances (Foord & Heatley in particular) but otherwise lack of game time for those who maybe needed it!
Are there more questions than answers leaving this camp?

fwiw, think Arsenal were fortunate to win this fixture in the previous 2 seasons and this result was fair. Despite another slow start, we can still have a successful season as the players have proven their quality but should we be reinforcing in January or does that give Renee more selection issues?

Kyra was heavily involved in preseason which included a strong 90 v West Ham. I can understand the utilisation of subs in other positions for the LCL game but surely Kyra has to get playing time on Friday. My gut feeling is she won’t start but what do you think?

Arsenal Women ended the 2024-25 Women's Super League as the league's top scorers with 62 goals.

Only eight teams have ever scored more goals in a single WSL campaign before.

I can’t recall if we have seen much of a Kim/Kyra/Mariona midfield but appreciate your thoughts on this combination for the next game?

Did Liverpool switching ends at the start break our mojo!
But seriously, looking forward to the debrief as this one was a tough loss.

Tight turnaround for the American and Australian players this international window, might we see them return early for the West Ham game?

Assume Mead is carrying an injury and Foord only had limited minutes but unsure why McCabe didn’t get a full game, would have preferred her in the forward line from the start.

I would love for Walti to play forever but is the most important recruitment this Summer going to be in the CDM role? What does the future look like for the midfield?

Is Catley now too valuable at LCB to see her revert to the LB role or does McCabe’s assumed suspension 1) open the door for Lotte more long term and 2) give the option for McCabe to be utilised as a wide forward again with Catley at LB?
