Man City needs ‘pick up’ after damaging the week in WSL
After winning in Eston Villa, the city’s title hopes are all, but the leaders Chelsea are 12 points ahead of them.
It is a humble situation for the city, which was tipped to challenge Chelsea this season, who went to the toe with him last year, only lost at the goal margin.
Taylor said in September that the city knew “what they need to do to go to the next step to win WSL” – but here they sit, miles away.
Many factors have contributed, this season, there are no minimum injuries for major players including Alex Greenwood, Vivian Midema, Khadija Shaw and Lauren Ganja in different times this season, but there is a lack of city progress.
This latest home necklace by Arsenal, two weeks after a shock defeat at Etihad Stadium by Manchester United, only emphasized their problems.
Personal errors, defensive frauds, a urge when playing from back to back and, most importantly, failure to take points, has proved expensive.
“Of course, yes, this is a shock. You do not want to lose against teams you are competing for those (top three) places,” Taylor said.
“But this is now our aim, being in the Champions League qualification locations at the end of the season.
“We don’t want this matter to be. You saw a fight in the team, but there were many errors and did not win a lot of couples.”
With the performance of being distracted by the pitch and not clicking on it, Taylor admitted that confidence is difficult to find.
Captain Laia Aleixandri was robbed in possession in the first minute as Mariona Caldentey put forward the Arsenal and goalkeeper Khiyara Keating Lotte Wuben-Moy failed to go before the ball before the Gunners went 2–0 within eight minutes.
“Yes, I think it affects the team and probably impresses Liad a little because he got stuck in that position quickly,” Taylor said.
“But if we are gaining some positivity, and it is difficult to get them out, then the fight was really good. We came back to 2-2 and even 3-3.
“There were a lot of things that were not right and certainly begin, going down 2–0 in eight minutes, it is actually difficult to deal with confidence.”
