Arsenal vs. FC Twente Preview: Team News & Possible Lineups
Arsenal Women Football Team vs FC Twente Women Football Team Lineups are derived from previous match days. We take into consideration how strong the opponents are, what players are injured and of course team news before the match.
Team News Arsenal
Arsenal had Leah Williamson and Kim Little available for their latest WSL game against Liverpool. Little was subbed on in the second half, while Williamson remained on the bench. In goal Anneke Borbe filled in for Van Domselaar and Zinsberger who are both out with injuries. Van Domselaar will be out for the remainder of the block.
What the coach has to say
Head coach Renée Slegers after the narrow 2-1 win over Liverpool in the WSL: “I’m relieved after the game that we got the three points,” Renée added. “It was the first game back after international break. We had to get together again and get connected. Early kick-off today, so it all went really, really quick. Liverpool as an opponent, it’s been one goal difference.
“Intensity is not as high as we want it to be, so how quickly we position and how fast we circulate the ball could have been better in the first half, which we all agreed upon.
“I think that was better in the first half and keeping them low in their half. I think if you look at stats and shots and shots on target, we played a good game and could have been more clinical. But if you look at the five players coming on for us, they all give us so much energy, such a quality injection as well.”
Team News FC Twente
We expect an update closer to matchday from head coach Corina Dekker.
What the coach has to say
Head coach Corina Dekker after losing 4-0 to Atlético Madrid in their latest Women’s Champions League game: “It was a disappointing game. It took us 40 minutes to compete. We were too shy or a little bit too soft in the way we started. But after 40 minutes, we tried to make it a game. We started well after the break, but it was already 2-0 for them. We tried to press after 55, 60 minutes, tried an extra midfielder, but we couldn’t control this game. They were the better team today.
“The focus was not 100% for everybody. Three of the four goals were individual mistakes. It wasn’t good enough today. We have to be 100% to compete in this competition and control games. If you look at the other games against Benfica or Chelsea, we had more energy to give. There was not enough energy today. We gave them too much space and time, and they definitely controlled it better than we did. So it’s a tough one. We have to take this, get the heads up and go back for the next one.”
