Looks like Wiegman has sought tactical advice from Southgate and decided to play the WSL top scorer at full back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the starting left back for England in the Euro's final, for example. Edited July 28, 2023 by hogso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanbee Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) If she is at left back she can certainly do the job. No different to last year, I suppose, when she was left back for England but a striker for Dash. But I can't help but think it's a waste. As Villa fans we're all biased of course but as far as I'm concerned, and the stats prove it, she's our best striker and should be starting up front. Either way, if the strikers have to feed on scraps, as they did against Haiti, then it will be a difficult game. That midfield have to create more. Daly at left back, getting forward whenever possible, might also help that. Edited July 28, 2023 by Villanbee Grammar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Not a fan of Daly starting left back. I know she can play there but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she has an assist now from that position so maybe it was an inspired decision after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Daly is England's best left-back from what I've seen, if she's not playing upfront she should be starting there, but also she scored twenty-two goals and got five assist in the WSL and was WSL player of the season, she should be starting as the striker as she's the best striker England have, if Russo played for us scored ten and assisted one and Daly played for Man Utd scored twenty-two, assisted five and was player of the season she would be starting upfront no question no debate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) This England defense will really struggle against more attacking sides, and look very vulnerable. Russo not offering much either. Edited July 28, 2023 by MachoFantastico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
