So frustrating. Pull it back to 2-1 only to concede the third a minute later. So often we see the women mounting comebacks from two or three goals behind but just leaving things that bit to late to grab a point. Need to perform far, far better in the first half of games.
And if the FA really want to continue to raise the profile and credibility of WSL then they really need to insist on a higher minimum standard of stadium for teams that want to play at that level.
It seems that Everton can splash out on good players but get away with a very poor stadium set up, albeit is the 'Home of Everton Women'. Tiny stand and spectators able to watch the game from a field with large gaps in the hedge at one end of the ground! They can't even provide a decent camera position for coverage of the game and consequently parts of today's game were impossible to watch because the camera lens was flooded until each time the camera operator wiped it with a cloth during the live coverage of the game!
