Zigiotti Olme capitalises on Liverpool mistake to keep Manchester United moving up WSL

Julia Zigiotti Olme’s sixth-minute lob proved enough to earn the Manchester United coach, Eva Olid, a second Women’s Super League victory of the season with a 1-0 home win over Liverpool. Zigiotti Olme capitalised on a mistake by Liverpool goalkeeper, Khiara Keating, and, despite some late pressure by Gareth Taylor’s side, United held on to make it back-to-back league wins.

Holmberg rescues point for Arsenal but Manchester United off the mark in WSL

Holmberg rescues point for Arsenal but Manchester United off the mark in WSL

Arsenal were mightily relieved as a 95th-minute Smilla Holmberg volley rescued a point at home to a much-improved Manchester United side, but the draw will not be enough to eradicate concerns about how far behind the leaders Manchester City Renée Slegers’ team are slipping already and how frequently they seem to struggle to break down a low block. A defiant Manchester United stunned the north Londoners as Eva Olid’s side claimed the first point of her tenure with a performance that defied all of the pre-match scripts, but it was very nearly a victory, had it not been for Holmberg’s last-gasp back-post finish from Leah Williamson’s deep, diagonal ball into the box, which finally broke the visitors’ stubborn resistance.

WSL talking points: Olid must weather United storm, Arsenal wasteful again

WSL talking points: Olid must weather United storm, Arsenal wasteful again

Manchester United must regroup after a heavy home loss to Chelsea while Crystal Palace frustrated the Gunners The frustration among Manchester United fans at full-time was evident at Leigh Sports Village after they had watched their team get thrashed 5-0 by a rampant Chelsea. There are certainly things to be worried about, but perhaps judging United’s new manager, Eva Olid, on the basis of how they performed against Sonia Bompastor’s established side is a little premature. The likelihood of United taking three points was always slim, despite the false hope delivered by Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Aston Villa the preceding weekend. Chelsea have not been an easy opponent for the Red Devils, who have only lost three WSL games by more than three goals, all against Chelsea. Having had only three weeks with her side, Olid had a harsh WSL baptism with defeats to London City Lionesses and Chelsea and United face Arsenal next. “These are difficult games to build the confidence in attack, but I’m here to build an identity, and I have to be faithful to that,” said the Spaniard.

Olid’s United on back foot due to late business and unforgiving WSL start

Olid’s United on back foot due to late business and unforgiving WSL start

Head coach has harsh spotlight on her as she prepares for Chelsea on Sunday, but she deserves time and investment It was tough watching Manchester United’s players labour ineffectively against the hungry and aggressive press of London City Lionesses. Simi Awujo’s late consolation goal did little to ease the mounting concern for a side that have several teams nipping at their heels. Don’t panic; that has to be United’s message. To an extent, it is very early to be writing the team’s obituary. The new head coach, Eva Olid , had only three weeks to try to implement her ideas about the way the team should play before their season opener in Bromley. That is not long enough for her to peel away Marc Skinner’s imprint on the team. Continue reading...
