Liverpool vs Everton (Women)

There seems to be a sharp drop off between International and Club levels to me.

At Women’s International level there are cohesive moves and tactics at play, and I found watching some of the last couple of tournaments there were individual and team performances that I enjoyed.

Watching today’s game I switched off before Everton scored because the quality was very low and I was, to be honest, bored watching it.

Mens Club football has more variety of nationalities evident and, over decades, there’s been a distribution of skills and tactics across most of the main leagues and particularly in the Premier League because it pays the most money and, therefore, attracts the best coaches and players.

It’s that which the English Women’s League is up against mostly, because it isn’t at that level yet and other leagues are better placed.

I went to a National League (men's) match recently, and went to this today. A really simplistic view but I thought the individual skill levels and technique weren't that far apart, but physically it's a different sport. Confirmed my long held view that the men's pitch and goal dimensions are simply too big for the women's game to ever reach above a certain level. Eleven men fill half of a football pitch, with gaps easily covered (tactics notwithstanding).  In the women's game the gaps between players is massive with too much ground to cover.  Women would have to work ~15-20% harder than men to make up for physical differences, and that's just not realistic.

Liverpool Women played poorly. They could barely string 3 passes together. Was a disappointing watch after a good start to the season. 

I felt they were unlucky. The goal looked onside and a gnats nostril away from scoring off the underside of the bar.
