This week, we deep dive into the 3-0 derby demolition of Manchester United at the Etihad, analysing the clinical goals from Rebecca Knaak, Khadija Shaw, and the stunning return goal from Lauren Hemp. We break down the tactical masterclass that saw Andrée Jeglertz's team dominate the midfield and hold United to zero shots on target, cementing our position at the top of the WSL table.

But the work isn't over! Before the international break, we pivot to a crucial Subway League Cup group decider against Nottingham Forest WFC. We discuss the high stakes—it’s essentially a knockout match to progress—and debate Jeglertz's strategy for rotation ahead of the WSL pause.

In this Episode:

Derby Dominance: A detailed breakdown of the 3-0 victory and the standout performances.

The Shaw/Hemp Effect: Analyzing the form of City's deadliest attackers.

Andrée Jeglertz's Masterclass: The impact of the manager's tactical decisions.

Cup Decider: Why the Nottingham Forest match is a must-win for League Cup progression.
