The first of 4 in-succession games against City, starting with the League Cup!

Televised on BBC.

So excited! Footy on a Saturday morning! (For me here in Canada!)

Still no Reiten ... what on earth is going on there I wonder ? I haven't seen anything about her being injured ?

No sign of her since she won that WSL Player of the Year award ...

Ah, apparently a back injury, after International Duty ...

I saw her on Tuesday just walking down the road - no obvious injury but doesn’t mean she’s not injured somehow.

That Mayra Ramirez has a bit of Diego Costa in her game. 1-0 Chels.

Diego would have made it 2-0 there!

Interesting half, a bit of luck about the goal and City dominating possession though not scoring.

Liked Hamilton, Ramirez, Macario and Bronze so far.

Bunny Shaw creating a bit of drama, that one where Bronze is running into challenging her, she backs in towards Bronz sticking here derriere out for contact and milks the free kick.

I think we will win yet would like to see a bit more control.

BBC desperate to see Chelsea lose.

ESPN also although I may be hearing the same commentators it's very blatant.

Also this ref, wtf?

We’ve been pretty poor to be honest, just don’t keep hold of the ball. It’s hit and hope to Ramirez and hope she can do something but nobody gets close enough to support her.

Now I’ve said that they’ve woken up!

Ok I take that back!

Bugger !

Weird goal to concede ... our keeper didn't seem to make much effort to save that ?

Must be trying to get in to the men’s team?

LOL

She just made up for it though. Thought that was going to be 2-1 to City for certain.

We look decidedly second best right now

Women's team seem afflicted by the same "playing out from the back" nonsense that the men's team suffer with. All sorts of mistakes and sloppy passes being played. Can only see one winner here ...

We are normally very strong in the last period of the game let's hope it's the case today.

What we need is a Lauren James moment🤞

Good subs - thought Ramirez was off for a moment!

We’ll take that one.

Oh bad luck City .. LOL LOL

2-1 !!!

Come on CHELSEA !

Commentor is devastated.

Proper old school pitch today .. some mud patches, cutting up a bit .. makes you realise how spoilt the players are at top level in the men's game !
