Natalia Arroyo with the squad update: “Noelle [Maritz] was suspended last game, and she will be available again. We still have Rachel Corsey and Sarah Mayling injured. The rest are fit.”
What the coach has to say:
On the defeat against Manchester United: “We tried a new shape. We were talking about the differences, between first half and second half, in the way we were understanding the differences in our positions. In the first half we were a bit lower than we wanted. That allowed them to find different crosses and solutions.
“We talked about how we need to deal with that better, who needs to jump in the situations and who needs to cover. The players, of course, are disappointed, we are all disappointed. We want to be more competitive. We want to accept that they win to us, but not so easily and that we don’t have any chance in the second half.”
On facing Liverpool: “They had a hard result last weekend. Before that, they were performing well, they could beat Man Utd, they also beat Arsenal. During all season they showed how physical they are, how good they can play direct.
“Defensively they are strong, they are good, and they challenge you to use the skills. It will be a difficult game when they play home. They are probably even stronger, but they have their weaknesses. We will try to expose them.”
