Good outcome, shite performance

I've reached a controversial opinion. It's time to look more critically at Emma Hayes. She has won a lot but her team has been stagnating, while others are improving. Too many of her buys sell the club short in that they are not the cream of the crop players we should be looking at.

Exactly. They are a force , yet we dominated them in the first game. If Kerr had scored that early Chance yesterday the game would have been different. No need to be overly critical of the performance. At this stage it is all about results.

This  might be a good point. The coaching&recruiting for women is a lot like Conte/Tuchel era.

like those two, Hayes seems to be able to inject a winning mentality into the team but it has stopped evolving at some point - on the pitch and on the transfer market.  There are still really good tho and have a few years left at the top.

Possibly, but they look way short of their best this term. Arsenal thoroughly outplayed us at The Emirates despite the fact that we stole a point. They outplayed us at Kingsmeadow in the cup game but we made our chances count and won. They made us look a very, very ordinary side at Selhurst Park in the League Cup Final. Lyon were not able to do that to us in either leg of the quarter-final but Man City did four days before. It isn't even just the blue half of Manchester because Utd were comfortably the better side in the recent league game at KM though we were severely hit by injuries that day so maybe we shouldn't count it.

I've felt for a long time that we are not as good a side as we should be. We have the medals to show that we have been better than the domestic opposition but they have all progressed while we have not. A refresh is necessary I feel and, personally, I'd be ok if that was guided by a new manager.

Tickets are on sale now for two massive games. The Women's Champions League semi-final first leg vs Barcelona, this Saturday, 22nd April, and the Women's FA Cup final vs Man Utd at Wembley on Sunday, 14th May.

The Champions League semi-final will see a record Stamford Bridge attendance for CFCW. Barring any late returns the entire lower tier of the stadium is sold out. As is the upper deck of The Shed barring some seats in block 1. Only about a quarter of the Westview seats remain available, but tickets can be had for the Matthew Harding upper.

Over 65,000 tickets have already been sold for the FA Cup Final. It's been projected that Wembley will sell out and Chelsea have very few tickets remaining. When club tickets sell out, hospitality tickets bought direct from Wembley will be the best remaining option.

The club has now sold out it's allocation of Women's FA Cup Final tickets. That said...

Something in the arithmetic isn't adding up. Wembley say that they are hoping for a 'sell out', and that they have sold 65,000 seats themselves. The 16,000 tickets they allocated to Chelsea and Man Utd have also sold out. This makes a total of 81,000 tickets sold, which is about 9,000 fewer than Wembley's capacity, so what's the story?

Have Wembley put an 81,000 cap on the crowd size? Do they have a different plan for the remaining tickets?

Only hospitality tickets remain for the final: https://www.clubwembley.com/events/2023/Womens_fa_cup_final_23

Starting XI against Barcelona. Game is available on the 5th Stand.

Correction, just live updates, it took me a minute to get logged in.

 

 

I did see it playing on The 5th Stand but the screen would not maximise on my phone so I went back to DAZN.
