Interim Lionesses manager, Hege Riise, has been named as the head coach for Team GB ahead of the Olympic games. Team GB News Hege Riise Named as Team GB Head Coach Interim Lionesses manager, Hege Riise, has been named as the head coach for Team GB ahead of the Olympic games. via The FA 8 April 2021 By Charlotte Stacey Riise will lead the squad to their second Olympics in Tokyo this summer. The Norwegian has a tall order in selecting her team with only a limited eighteen places up for grabs. Competition is hot for players in contention as Riise is able to select a cohort comprised of those from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The FA have listed three crucial criteria in regards to selection – • Physical condition - Team GB could play six games in seventeen days in warm weather, humidity. Players must also cope with heavy travelling schedules. • Mental toughness – dealing with the pressure of a prestigious global competition and potential setbacks during the throughout. • Versatility – with only eighteen places a, players available, players must be willing and able to adapt to positions that are not necessarily preferred. It is likely that the squad will largely be comprised of English names as this is the squad Riise is most familiar with. Veterans such as Steph Houghton, Jill Scott and Lucy Bronze, could very well find themselves on the plane to Japan. However, there are a large number of candidates hailing from the home nations that should not be overlooked. Scotland’s Kim Little is often regarded as one of the most difficult players to come up against in the world. Similarly Welsh midfielder, Jess Fishlock, brings with her a wealth of experience in navigating some of the most prolific oppositions. Others in contention could include Scots Erin Cuthbert, Caroline Weir and Lisa Evans, all of whom continue to impress in the Women’s Super League. Wales captain and Chelsea’s springboard holding midfielder, Sophie Ingle, and North Carolina Courage bound Welsh midfielder, Angharad James, may also make the cut. Everton and Northern Ireland international, Simone Magill, could also be on the shortlist. Riise will be assisted by Canadian bronze medallist, Rhian Wilkinson, with another coach set to be named soon. The squad is expected to be announced in early May. Four other players will travel with the team as reserves.

Latest Lionesses squad announced for October training camp. Lionesses October Squad Announced Back Latest Lionesses squad announced for October training camp. Steve Bardens Tuesday, 13 October 2020 By Charlotte Stacey Phil Neville has unveiled the Lionesses squad that will take on Germany in a friendly later in the month. Neville has selected a 28 strong squad for the trip to Wiesbaden, naming a mixture of experience, youth and new faces. Four goalkeepers are amongst the cohort, with Manchester City’s Ellie Roebuck, Everton’s Sandy MacIver and Birmingham City’s Hannah Hampton, being called up alongside the cool experience of Chelsea’s Carly Telford. A mammoth ten defenders have been named to bolster defensive lines. Manchester City’s Lucy Bronze, Alex Greenwood and Demi Stokes, Chelsea’s Millie Bright, Manchester United’s Abbie McManus and Arsenal’s Leah Williamson will find themselves under the watchful eye of captain Steph Houghton. Houston Dash captain, Rachel Daly, although typically a forward player for her club, may also find herself reinforcing the back line. In the middle, Everton’s Izzy Christiansen could make her first appearance since March 2019 and Manchester City’s Jill Scott could potentially hit a milestone 150 caps. City’s Keira Walsh will likely hold down the midfield, whilst Georgia Stanway and Chelsea’s newly fit Fran Kirby, may sit slightly further upfield to jump start Neville’s hordes of attacking options. Neville’s forward selection includes player of the season Beth England, Arsenal’s wing master Beth Mead and City’s ever-trusted Ellen White. Youngster’s Chloe Kelly and Alessia Russo may potentially make an appearance in the starting eleven; both have proven their attacking prowess with their domestic clubs since the beginning of the season. Lyon’s Nikita Parris finds herself back on the team sheet after quarantine restrictions kept her from September’s training camp. Potential debutants include defenders Millie Turner, Esme Morgan, Grace Fisk as well as the more attackingly minded Ella Toone and Niamh Charles, all of whom impressed during last month’s camp. Notable absences include Atlético Madrid’s Toni Duggan and Jade Moore, Lyon’s Jodie Taylor and Arsenal’s Jordan Nobbs, who picked up a slight injury in an earlier league game. Manchester United’s Lucy Staniforth and Katie Zelem are also absent, the latter of whom is still on the road to full fitness after testing positive for Coronavirus in September. The Lionesses will have a point to prove after a lacklustre performance at the SheBelieves Cup in March, in which they finished in a disappointing third place. Of the upcoming match, Neville commented, “Germany are currently ranked second in the world so there’s no doubt it will be a tough test for us. But a vital one as we measure our progress against one of the best teams in the world. It will give us a clear idea of where we’re at in terms of our squad depth and development as we prepare for the home UEFA Euro in 2022.” The Lionesses will face Germany on Tuesday 27th October at 3pm. Full Squad: GK: Hannah Hampton, Sandy MacIver, Ellie Roebuck, Carly Telford DF: Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Grace Fisk, Alex Greenwood, Steph Houghton, Abbie McManus, Esme Morgan, Demi Stokes, Millie Turner, Leah Williamson MF: Niamh Charles, Izzy Christiansen, Fran Kirby, Jill Scott, Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Keira Walsh FW: Rachel Daly, Beth England, Chloe Kelly, Beth Mead, Alessia Russo, Nikita Parris, Ellen White

The Lionesses will host the very First Arnold Clark Cup, a round-robin style tournament featuring four nations Arnold Clark Cup: Bumper Guide Back The Lionesses will host the very First Arnold Clark Cup, a round-robin style tournament featuring four nations On Her Side Wednesday, 16 February 2022 By Charlotte Stacey England, Canada, Germany and Spain will compete in its inaugural year with the action kicking off on Thursday 17th February at Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough. The next games will be played on 20th February at Carrow Road, Norwich and the final fixtures will take place on 23rd February at Molineux, Wolverhampton. Each team will face each other once and the winner will be determined by the number of points accumulated. The tournament will serve as an excellent exercise for the three European sides who will be taking part in the Euro’s this summer, also hosted in England. The announced squads are as follows: England Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses will hugely benefit from this tournament in regard to pinpointing areas of improvement. In their recent fixtures, the Lionesses have faced lower ranked sides and have won these with incredibly large scorelines. Whilst it’s great to win, these fixtures do not offer a true reflection, almost creating a false impression of how the team may perform when coming up against more challenging opponents. The Lionesses will be without captain Steph Houghton and striker Bethany England who are both absent through injury. Squad: GK: Mary Earps, Hannah Hampton, Ellie Roebuck DF: Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, Rachel Daly, Alex Greenwood, Demi Stokes, Leah Williamson, Lotte Wubben-Moy MF: Fran Kirby, Jordan Nobbs, Jill Scott, Georgia Stanway, Keira Walsh, Katie Zelem FW: Lauren Hemp, Beth Mead, Nikita Parris, Alessia Russo, Ella Toone, Ellen White One to watch: Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp does not only set the Women’s Super League alight. The winger is quick, aggressive and devious, simply a relentless headache that defenders have a hard time shaking. Hemp has consistently demonstrated her talent on both the domestic and international stage and will no doubt prove to be one of the Lionesses most important assets once again. Canada Boss Bev Priestman was the first to announce her team, with 18 of her 23-strong squad part of the side that won last years Olympic Games. Priestman boasts an impressive side calling upon personnel from leagues all over the world including Shelina Zadorsky, Jessie Fleming, Janine Beckie and Deanne Rose of the Women’s Super League. Canada will be without skipper Christine Sinclair who has withdrawn for personal reasons, as well as goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé who has recently announced her retirement from international football. Squad: GK: Sabrina D’Angelo, Devon Kerr, Erin McLeod, Kailen Sheridan DF: Kadeisha Buchanan, Vanessa Gilles, Shelina Zadorsky, Gabrielle Carle, Allysha Chapman, Jayde Riviere, Sura Yekka MFs: Marie-Yasmine Alidou D’Anjou, Jessie Fleming, Julia Grosso, Ashley Lawrence, Victoria Pickett, Quinn, Sophie Schmidt, Desiree Scott FW: Janine Beckie, Tanya Boychuk, Jordyn Huitema, Cloe Lacasse, Nichelle Prince, Deanne Rose One to watch: PSG’s Ashley Lawrence is widely considered one of the best fullbacks in the world. Her performance at the Olympics rightly pricked up the ears of many as she asserted herself as one of Canada’s key players in both attacking phases and defensive security in play. Lawrence will no doubt be a handful to contend with throughout the tournament. Germany Two-time World Cup winner’s Germany have named a 25 strong squad to compete in the Arnold Clark Cup. Head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg has had a fairly turbulent tenure with the national side having been knocked out of the quarter finals of the World Cup in 2019 and subsequently failing to qualify for last years Olympics. Germany will be without several staple players for this tournament including captain Alex Popp, Chelsea’s Melanie Leupolz, Bayern Munich's Sydney Lohmann and Lyon's Dzsenifer Marozsan. Squad: GK: Ann-Katrin Berger, Merle Frohms, Almuth Schult DF: Sara Doorsoun, Jana Feldkamp, Giulia Gwinn, Sophia Kleinherne, Sarai Linder, Lena Oberdorf, Maximiliane Rall, Felicitas Rauch MF: Nicole Anyone, Jule Brand, Klara Buhl, Selina Cerci, Sara Dabritz, Linda Dallmann, Fabienne Dongus, Laura Freigang, Svenja Huth, Lena Latein, Lina Magull, Ramona Petzelberger FW: Sjoeke Nusken, Lea Schuller One to watch: 19-year-old Jule Brand is certainly a player to look out for throughout this tournament. The winger caused Arsenal trouble during the Champions League knockout stages with her on-the-ball dynamism and deft touch that is as adroit with both feet. Brand has just signed a three-year deal with German side Wolfsburg from Hoffenheim. Spain Spain head into this tournament as possibly the most exciting side to watch. The named squad has a heavy Barcelona contingent, the absolute dominant force in Europe right now. As Spanish football goes from strength-to-strength so too does Jorge Vilda’s national side who will prove difficult opposition for all involved in the Arnold Clark Cup. Spain will be without captain Irene Paredes, as well as midfielder Claudia Zornoza who had to leave camp after receiving her first call up in six years. Squad: GK: Sandra Panos, Lola Gallardo, Misa Rodriguez DF: Mapi Leon, Leila Ouahabi, Andrea Pereira, Ivana Andres, Ona Batlle, Laia Aleixandri, Olga Carmona MF: Alexia Putellas, Patri Guijarro, Aitana Bonmati, Irene Guerrero, Claudia Pina FW: Jennifer Hermoso, Mariona Caldentey, Lucia Garcia, Esther Gonzalez, Marta Cardona, Nerea Eizagirre, Amaiur Sarriegi One to watch: Alexia Putellas is a player that captures your attention and refuses to let it go. Her sheer grace in operating the midfield is mesmerising and is made all the more striking by her ability to generate chance after chance with a vision and technical ability that can only be marvelled at. The midfielder is undoubtably one of the best players in the world right now has recently won the presitgious Ballon d’Or.

September Training Camp Back Latest Lionesses squad announced for their first training camp since the SheBelieves Cup. talkSport Friday, 11 September 2020 By Charlotte Stacey This will mark the first time the Lionesses have been together since the SheBelieves Cup in February. Amongst the cohort are a number of new faces, with eight players receiving their first senior call ups. Neville previously added a number of rising young talent to the Lionesses ranks and has seemingly widened the net with his latest selection. “This is a critical moment in our development of England Women," said Neville. “Every camp from now on is aimed at building a team capable of competing for the highest honours in world football, including the prestigious home EURO in 2022 and, ultimately, the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023.” “It's important that we offer as many opportunities as possible for some of the country’s best young talent to stake their claim for a place in the senior England squad for this exciting three-year period.” The Lionesses will travel to Wiesbaden to take on Germany in a friendly on Tuesday 27th October.

Phil Neville has made the decision to move on to pastures new leaving England for Inter Miami. Neville Steps Down Back Phil Neville has made the decision to move on to pastures new leaving England for Inter Miami. via Getty Images Monday, 18 January 2021 By Charlotte Stacey It has been confirmed that Phil Neville will step down as England head coach with immediate effect following his designation to head up Inter Miami. Neville had planned to see out the full term of his contract, terminating in July, and was also appointed as the manager for Team GB in the upcoming Olympic Games. The FA will now prioritise naming an interim coach for the Lionesses with an announcement expected within the next few days, as well as beginning the search for a replacement Team GB boss. Since taking charge of the Lionesses in January 2018, Neville has endured the good, the bad and the downright ugly. In 2019 he led the English side to SheBelieves Cup victory, World Cup semi-finals and helped the Lionesses qualify for the Olympics. Yet, after that fateful semi-final defeat the Lionesses have failed to find their form and have suffered seven losses in eleven games. Most recently they placed third (out of four) in 2020’s SheBelieves Cup and have dropped in the world rankings from third to sixth under Neville’s leadership. The Lionesses have not played a competitive match since March 2020 and currently have no upcoming fixtures. It has been rumoured that England had planned to host their own round-robin type tournament as they will not be competing in the SheBelieves Cup in America this year. However, any arrangements for such a tournament have not been confirmed. Upon his departure Neville has commented, “it has been an honour to manage England and I have enjoyed three of the best years of my career with The FA and the Lionesses. The players who wear the England shirt are some of the most talented and dedicated athletes I have ever had the privilege to work with. They have challenged me and improved me as a coach and I am very grateful to them for the fantastic memories we have shared.” Neville will now take charge of former England and Manchester United teammate, David Beckham’s club, Inter Miami. Beckham applauded Neville’s appointment, stating, "we share a footballing DNA having been trained by some of the best leaders in the game, and it's those values that I have always wanted running through our club. Anyone who has played or worked with Phil knows he is a natural leader, and I believe now is the right time for him to join." The Netherland’s head coach, Sarina Wiegman, has been named as Neville’s eventual successor and will join the national side in August upon conclusion of the Olympics on a four-year contract. Under Wiegman’s management, the Dutch national side have won the 2017 Euro’s and were runners up in World Cup in 2019. Wiegman was also named Best FIFA Women’s coach in 2017. The news of Neville’s departure is not the only change to personnel that the home nations have incurred in recent weeks. Jayne Ludlow and Shelley Kerr have also stepped down as the head coaches of Wales and Scotland respectively. Ludlow, who has been with Wales since October 2014, commented, "my time as the national team manager has been an eventful and exciting journey. It has been an honour and an absolute pleasure to have worked with the staff and players across our age group and senior teams.” Ludlow is the first manager to take the Welsh side into the top 30 in the world rankings and the only manager to have taken the reins for more than 50 games. Kerr left the Scottish national side in December, three years since taking the helm, after they failed to qualify for the Euro’s 2022. Having led Scotland to their first World Cup in 2019, Kerr commented on her departure, "I thank the Scottish FA and all who supported me in fulfilling my dream of leading our country to the World Cup finals for the first time. I am privileged to have played a part in such an historical moment in Scottish football. That is something that will live with me forever.”

Thoughts on: Lotte Wubben-Moy Thoughts on: Lotte Wubben-Moy Wubben-Moy Back 22 March 2021 By Charlotte Stacey A Whole Lotte Wubben-Moy Catherine Ivill The 2020/21 season has been disjointed for a number of reasons, yet as it has progressed, it has become clear that the irrefutable excellence of the Women’s Super League continues its upward trajectory. Many have stood out amongst the league’s elite, including that of one returned home-grown talent. Throughout the latter half of the season, one’s ears have rather quickly pricked up to the noise that is being made by Arsenal defender, Lotte Wubben-Moy. The centre back returned to her roots in the summer after a three-year spell across the pond. Lifelong Gooner, Wubben-Moy came through Arsenal’s academy before making her senior debut with the club in 2015 at the tender age of sixteen. Two years later, after an impressive Spring Series, the eighteen-year-old had a choice to make. The opportunity to play collegiate football whilst studying abroad had arisen and a characteristically wise Wubben-Moy decided it was an opportunity that was not to be turned down. Wubben-Moy joined esteemed US college side, North Carolina Tar Heels. In hindsight this should have served as a sign of things to come. Not just anybody plays for UNC. The perceptively poised centre-back that has landed in Borehamwood is concrete proof that Wubben-Moy prudently squeezed every last ounce of physical, professional and personal growth out of her time abroad. Lotte Wubben-Moy is everything that you could ask for in a maturing centre-back. Her commanding physicality paired with a readiness to put herself on the line serves to strengthen that essential staunch strength to hold down the fort that she absolutely exudes. Attentive to an incoming ball, Wubben-Moy harbours the very fundamentals of a play breaking defender. She is positionally aware in making crucial ground interceptions and blocks, often using these opportunities to regain possession. Typically making the most of lapses in the oppositions momentum, Wubben-Moy has the prowess to swing the pendulum the other way. Picking up loose balls and targeting them as forward ground sweeping passes. Yet, she is just as impressive aerially as she is with her feet. Both defensively and offensively, Wubben-Moy presents a threat in the air, climbing high to produce bullet headers to her desired effect. Kunjan Malde // Charlotte Stacey Yet, further than these impressive physical abilities is Wubben-Moy’s clear growth mindset and an appetite to absorb as much as possible is rather quickly noted. Whether it is a clarifying word with a teammate or a tactical shift from the touchlines, Wubben-Moy soaks it up without complaint. It is this hunger for both self-improvement and collective harmony that pegs Wubben-Moy as an emergent leader within Arsenal’s ranks. Calm and composed both on and off the ball, the pressure of an occasion, nor the weight of carrying the defensive line does not impede Wubben-Moy’s performances. In fact, a principal fixture only seems to have the opposite effect. Her cool-headedness does much to settle Arsenal’s occasional makeshift back four. Her assuredness in what is achievable a propellant when confidence has dropped. This leading mentality has been simmering since a young age. Aside from being widely regarded for her leadership and organisational skills during her time with UNC, Wubben-Moy captained Arsenal’s highly successful development team during her youth career and led England’s Under-17’s to the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the World Cup and Championship respectively. But perhaps Wubben-Moy’s most endearing quality is her absolute devotion to her club. The grab of the badge after scoring; the scream of joy at a favoured scoreline; the sullen drop of the head upon defeat; all tell the story of a Gooner through and through. Simply, Wubben-Moy radiates The Arsenal from her very pores. Safely rooted back in red and white, Wubben-Moy’s increasing defensive sureness, developing influence, as well as well as her drive to succeed, set her firmly in one direction and one direction only. For both Arsenal and England supporters have plenty to look forward to. There’s a Lotte more to come.

Thoughts on: Leah Galton Thoughts on: Leah Galton Galton Back 30 January 2021 By Charlotte Stacey The Galton Effect Ash Donelon With the Red Devils very much in contention for the title, a personal season to revel in and the accolade of Player of the Month in December 2020, you could say that things are going pretty well for Manchester United forward Leah Galton. Fast cementing herself as one of the league’s most proficient left sided players, Leah Galton is what one could jovially describe as a real zinger of a winger. Motoring up and down the left-hand side with a monstrous pace and with the intent to cause some damage, she navigates the wing with a stout obstinacy. Moxie that more often than not places her right at the forefront of the action. Galton is no stranger to finding the back of the net. With a ball carrying capability that enables her to breach defensive lines, Galton closes down space in the box and typically takes advantage of the tight angle. Yet she does not need to be anywhere near the eighteen-yard box to write her name on the scoresheet. When the time calls, from seemingly any distance in the final third and with a boundless force, Galton puts them away with that weapon of a left foot. But further than this finishing aptitude is Galton’s ability to assist, which is crucial to United’s success. An eye for an opening to create, Galton’s developing communication with those around her often allows the vision to become a reality. A quick one-two, slip behind the defender, send in the cross, easy. With a flexibility that has seen her play in more central or defensive roles and with an evident shoulder of responsibility, Galton throws herself into every position she is charged with. She is more than capable defensively, unafraid to make a challenge or to track back when needed and her stint as a fullback should certainly not be overlooked. Yet, that ache to attack bubbles away beneath the surface and Galton is at her best when she is able to unleash this. Scoring, assisting, defending; quite simply, Galton is one of Manchester United’s greatest threats. One might contemplate that a player of such skill has had it easy, yet Galton’s career has not been plain sailing. Starting out with Leeds United, Galton’s career took flight during a four-year scholarship with American college side, Hofstra Pride, in which time Galton made history as the team’s second highest goal scorer. She was then drafted by NWSL side Sky Blue FC before signing with Bundesliga team, Bayern Munich. However, things were not to be, and after just three months with the German side, Galton announced she would be taking a break from professional football. Charlotte Stacey Reflective of her hardy attitude on the pitch, Galton ultimately weathered the storm. After signing for Manchester United for their inaugural season, the organic flair that sparked in America is now being seen once again. Speaking on the UTD podcast, Galton describes the meeting in which Casey Stoney reignited that simmering fire, “I came out of that meeting thinking 'wow, that's the team I want to play for and that's the coach I want to play under’”. “Casey said she thought she knew my potential and she wanted to invest”. Of course, the United boss knew exactly what she was doing. What an investment Galton has turned out to be. Delving deeper into her return to the game, Galton also mentions a sense of security, an indication that she “feels at home with United”. Recalling her performances of late, it certainly feels that way. Overcoming niggles of self-doubt with the backing of those who will you to succeed can establish an entirely different outlook. One can certainly relate to the notion that half the battle is won when you feel comfortable, when you feel like yourself. In an interview with The Guardian, reflecting on United’s position in the table, Galton alludes to the impact of overseas signings and the resulting elevated mindset that is now coursing through the team. Yet with an earnest modesty, Galton has not noted the influence that she herself brings to that blossoming United play. An influence that could justly be dubbed, The Galton Effect. What has emerged in Galton is a growing confidence, an assurance in one’s own abilities that teeters on the edge of something rather special. Given the outstanding statistics Galton is consistently churning out, one suspects is should not be long until her name appears on the national team squad list. But perhaps, for now, that is not the immediate goal. Perhaps, just for now, being on top, feeling like yourself and challenging for titles with a club that feels like home, is enough. Sit back and relax, treat yourself with a front row seat to the Leah Galton show. The winger that is every bit worthy of her time in the spotlight. https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/utd-podcast-leah-galton-says-despite-being-a-leeds-fan-she-had-to-join-man-utd https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jan/15/manchester-united-leah-galton-christen-press-tobin-heath

Get to know each of the 26 Lionesses who will be competing in this years Arnold Clark Cup Arnold Clark Cup: Squad Guide Back Get to know each of the 26 Lionesses who will be competing in this years Arnold Clark Cup Ryan Asman Tuesday, 14 February 2023 By Charlotte Stacey England won the Euro’s. Let me repeat that, England WON the Euro’s. So naturally excitement is building for their next competition, which just so happens to kick off this week. The Arnold Clark Cup first graced our pitches last year when England hosted the tough line-up of Spain, Germany and Canada. This was the first time we really got to see what Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses were made of, and we were not disappointed. The Lionesses won the inaugural round-robin tournament, beating Germany (a sign of things to come) and drawing with Spain and Canada. This took them top of the table with five points, joint with Spain, but England narrowly beat out the Spaniards with a goal difference of +2 to Spain’s +1. Centre-back Millie Bright won herself the golden boot (yep, you read that right), alongside Spanish marvel Alexia Putellas, after Wiegman’s decision to unleash Bright upfront worked wonders against Germany. Unconventional innovation is all part of Wiegman’s charm, plenty of tricks up her sleeve. The Lionesses are undefeated since Wiegman took the reins in September 2021 and they’ll certainly be looking to continue this spectacular run over the next two weeks. This time, Wiegman has named a brilliant mix of experience and youth, with plenty of returning faces and plenty of new ones. Of the absentees, Ellen White and Jill Scott both announced their retirements after lifting the trophy last summer and winger Beth Mead is out after rupturing her ACL before Christmas. Fran Kirby is also out after picking up a knock last week. Nikita Parris, Demi Stokes, Bethany England and Hannah Hampton miss out this time, but a plethora of fresh and talented replacements have been selected. So, with a fair amount of movement in the team, let’s re-familiarise ourselves with our trophy-laden Lionesses. Here’s our latest squad of 26 looking to earn their next piece of silverware. Goalkeepers Mary Earps Manchester United’s number one has asserted herself as Wiegman’s first choice between the sticks after being absent from the international stage for a couple of years. Wiegman trusts in Earps and after her outstanding display at the Euro’s, it is easy to see why. Here is a goalkeeper who does her homework, one who is exceptionally well prepared against individual opponents and knows exactly when to put her game face on. Earps is a capable shot-stopper and is unafraid to step out and take defensive work into her own hands. Known to be vocal, Earps ensures she is in constant communication with those around her. Her direct nature allows her to articulate exactly what she expects of her defensive line, which is a critical when defending set-pieces. Earps also demonstrates accuracy with passing and is comfortable to sit between centre-backs to allow fullbacks to stretch the pitch when playing out from the back. Sandy MacIver Sandy MacIver (Mac-EEver) has been in and around the England camp for a number of years having made her senior debut back in 2021. The goalkeeper played as Everton’s number one between 2020-22 and has since moved to Manchester City in a bid to share duties with Ellie Roebuck. MacIver could be described as a brave or bold goalkeeper. When it comes to one-on-one situations, she is unafraid to come off her line, “get big”, and is more likely to employ defensive action outside of the area than most. Whilst it would be fair to say MacIver is perhaps not as light-footed as Ellie Roebuck or as vocal as Mary Earps, she is a solid organiser with a favourable save ratio and will do well to get a few more international minutes under her belt. Emily Ramsey Goalkeeper Emily Ramsey has been capped in many of the international youth levels and most recently captained the U23 side. Ramsey was first called-up to the senior squad in 2021 as a replacement for Karen Bardsley, but this camp serves as her first in which she has been named from the outset. Under parent club Manchester United, Ramsey has served a number of loan spells and is currently gaining minutes with Everton. At 5’11 Ramsey is a commanding figure at the back who uses her height to advantageously cover the goal mouth and impose on advancing opponents. Ramsey is an excellent outright shot-stopper with a rising domestic clean sheet record. The youngster is also becoming more proficient in playing out from the back when under pressure, although she still does boast a mighty launch kick. Ellie Roebuck Although she’s still only in her early twenties, Manchester City’s Ellie Roebuck has long been on the scene having made her senior debut back in 2018. Roebuck was a regular feature for England throughout the youth age groups and has a growing amount of international experience to her name. Roebuck and MacIver were both selected to play in the 2021 Olympic Games, in which Roebuck donned the gloves as Team GB’s number one. Roebuck is now firmly back between the sticks for her club after spending some time out with injury last year and is once again showcasing her perceptive and quick movement. Roebuck is perhaps the most agile of Wiegman’s keepers, using her quick footwork and sudden shifts of weight to execute effective body position. Roebuck is also known for her ‘sweeper’ abilities and is aware enough to come some way off her line to tidy up without compromising readiness to protect the goal. Defenders Lucy Bronze Lucy Bronze has arguably been England’s most important fullback over recent years, and even more so, their most versatile fullback tactically. An inverted right-back, she is one of England’s primary sources of build-up. Bronze habitually interchanges in position with the right-winger, but also has the sense to keep her width to stretch play in the right moments. Bronze’s crossing skills and spatial awareness are difference makers and give England a spirited drive along the right touchline. Bronze is also known for her tendency to drift into the midfield to create overloads in the middle. As a progressive fullback, Bronze likes to carry the ball high up the pitch, she has a habit of cutting in centrally and decoying opponents when the space is afforded. Bronze’s role in both defence and in attack cannot be understated. Millie Bright No-nonsense centre-back Millie Bright is possibly England’s most ‘traditional’ defender. Bright is a staple figure in the Lionesses line-up and has been named as vice-captain after displaying desirable leadership qualities across the previous few seasons with Chelsea. Bright is assertive and aggressive and uses her physicality, as much as her feet, to escort attacking threats away from goal. Usually the last woman standing, Bright is unafraid to put her body on the line to block or intercept in timely fashion. Bright has a keen eye for a cross ball and her launched passes often act as catalysts for attacking phases of play further up field. Standing at 5ft 9, Bright also provides a serious aerial threat at set-pieces. Further than this, Bright boasts a killer strike and has been known to hit the target from distance. Jess Carter Chelsea’s Jess Carter is now a regular addition in the national squad after being out of the fold for a few years. However, the defender has broken out once again with consecutively outstanding seasons with Chelsea and consistently impressive performances for England. Carter is a well-rounded and functional defender who is able to slot in anywhere across the backline. One-v-one situations and man marking is where Carter truly excels, demonstrating her insightful timing. She is also deceptively quick, which makes her a challenging opponent in a footrace. Carter is intuitively defensively minded and offers the Lionesses a stable marshal, thus allowing her fellow defenders to progress and support in attack. Niamh Charles Niamh Charles was unlucky not to have been a part of last year’s Euro’s winning squad. The Chelsea defender has been increasingly important to the Blues’ line-up and looks to be heading the same way on the international stage. Primarily playing on the right, Charles offers a different style of play to Lucy Bronze, with the latter preferring to invert and initiate attacking play. Charles, however, offers a more supporting role and plays equally well being positioned as both a fullback or wingback. Defensively, Charles is disciplined and is careful to challenge in timely fashion. But this is not to say that her presence is not valuable in attack, in fact, it is quite the opposite. Charles is an asset in backing-up heavyweight attacking threats with clever movement that creates space and her increasingly savvy passing skills. Further than this, Charles is happy to overlap using width meaning she is often an extra body and auxiliary winger during attacking phases. Rachel Daly Rachel Daly is an experienced and adaptable player with a unique skillset. When playing domestically, Daly occupies the centre forward role and is currently wreaking havoc across defensive lines with Aston Villa. Her forward role is that of a deep-lying striker who excels in linking play, playing in other attacking players and creating interchangeable sequences of play. But of course, Daly does also possess that no. 9 killer strike. Internationally, however, Daly is usually situated further back, primarily featuring for England as a left-back. Here, Daly utilises her strikers’ tendencies and pairs them with the defensive qualities developed as a result of her slightly unusual placement. Daly’s ‘off the ball’ traits are under appreciated at times, but her pressing and positional awareness are key in bringing a balance to England’s backline. Alex Greenwood For the majority of her career Greenwood played as a left-back, however over the past two years Greenwood has converted into a left-sided centre-back. Adapting to this role remarkably well, Greenwood has developed a heightened defensive acumen and is reliable in putting in play breaking challenges. Greenwood brings a finesse to England’s backline offering a favourable counterbalance to Millie Bright’s more physical approach. Greenwood is tidy and rarely takes rash action, however her biggest strength undoubtedly lie in her technical skill. With a weapon of a left foot, Greenwood is able to find teammates across the pitch with a single impeccable pass. Due to this gift of precision, Greenwood also acts as England’s principal set-piece taker. Maya Le Tissier Youngster Maya Le Tissier has slotted straight into Manchester United’s backline in what has been their most successful season to date. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what it is that makes Le Tissier one of the country’s most exciting young talents, but upon observation it quickly becomes clear that the defender will be a feature in the national team for years to come. Primarily positioned as a centre-back, twenty-year-old Le Tissier plays with a wisdom that keeps her team in check. She can be physical when the time calls for it, but where Le Tissier really shines is with her awareness. The defender has an acute understanding of her surroundings meaning she approaches situations with good decision and rationality. This also aids itself to favourable defensive positioning as well as optimal passing routes to both settle play and trigger build-up. Leah Williamson Arsenal centre-back and England captain Leah Williamson will most likely adopt her traditional centre-back role going forward. After trialling a period in the midfield, it looks as though Williamson will be positioned in the backline for the time being. With that being said, her progressive nature and exceptional ball playing skill, could assume a variation of the number 6 role alongside Keira Walsh depending on Wiegman’s tactics for each game. By and large, what Williamson offers Wiegman is flexibility. Having a player that can be used equally well in the backline and in midfield means a greater number of formations become realistically usable. Williamson is decisive and rational; a player who is largely purposeful with every touch. The Arsenal thoroughbred harbours quality passing abilities, so much so that in fact, she could easily be regarded as one of the best in the world at filtering progressive passes from back to front. The benefits of having Williamson on the field are endless; from leadership and tact, to playmaking and quality possession. Lotte Wubben-Moy Arsenal centre-back Lotte Wubben-Moy continues to gain senior international experience after representing the Lionesses at U15, U17, U20 and U21 levels. Much like Millie Bright, Wubben-Moy offers a testing physical presence at the back and uses her height, fitness and strength to deny strikers scoring opportunities. Wubben-Moy is still one of England’s youngest trade defenders, however the North London native plays with maturity and demonstrates sensible judgement. Aside from being a dependable central defender, Wubben-Moy is also developing into a skilled ball player. She typically likes to dribble toward the half way line before releasing passes through the central channels, by doing so, encouraging positive forward movement from those around her. Midfielders Laura Coombs Laura Coombs has been out of the international fold for quite some time, having last been called up to camp in November 2020. However, the midfielder has deservedly earned her place after pulling out a string of notable performances for Manchester City this season. Coombs, by nature, is a grafter. It is this custom of hers that has seen her rise to the top and re-assert herself as one of the most productive midfielders in the country. With a definitive “keep your head down and get on with it” attitude, Coombs showcases her willingness to tidy up and do the less glamourous work. Whilst she may not offer the creative flair others possess, what she guarantees is key defensive and offensive runs and an off-the ball work rate that is second to none. Coombs is also a known goal-scorer and can hit the net from range. Jordan Nobbs Arguably one of England’s most naturally gifted footballers, Jordan Nobbs’ international career has unfortunately been plagued by injury meaning she has missed out on some of their pivotal moments. Having been with the Arsenal for 12 years, Nobbs took the decision to move to Aston Villa in January and has enjoyed an illustrious run of form since. Nobbs is a direct player. She enjoys injecting intensity into play, both defensively and offensively, and a notable shift in pressing is always sensed when Nobbs is on the pitch. Typically, Nobbs is deployed higher up the field as her ability to find space, thread passes and unlock her venomous strike make her an ever-present attacking threat. However, Nobbs is also well played as a no.8. with the acumen to link play and provide balance box-to-box. Jess Park Attacking midfielder Jess Park is about as lively as they come. With incredible pace and dribbling skills, Park can be a real handful to keep a hold of. This season Park has come to the forefront in her spell with Everton, demonstrating skill in both scoring and assisting, typically from wider areas. Park likes to stretch oppositions by drifting out to the wing before taking on fullbacks when in possession. Being comfortable up close and personal to the touchlines has allowed Park to develop a unique trickery in getting out of tight areas, pulling off inspired manoeuvres when doing so. To further instate the impact the youngster can have, Park scored her first international goal just a minute after making her debut appearance for England against Japan last November. Georgia Stanway Bayern Munich’s star midfielder is spirited and gutsy. Georgia Stanway is an aggressor, and to describe her as anything less would be inimical of the passion she exudes. Stanway is a versatile and positionally disciplined player having played stints as a right-back, a holding midfielder and a forward. However, Stanway’s most natural role falls as a number 10, bridging the defensive lines of midfield to the forward troupe. Stanway is a significant attacking facet for England with an ability to facilitate successful and consistent passes and carries into the penalty area. Yet, she is also a considerable defensive asset who is particularly knowing of the importance of defensive unity across the whole pitch. Stanway is already affluent in international experience with over 40 senior caps and 14 goals for her country, despite still being in her early twenties. Ella Toone Manchester United’s creative dynamo has certainly impressed Wiegman and has been a mainstay in her reign so far. The playmaker is a fantastically innovative number 10 who is able to find creative ways to thread key passes that often lead to shot and goal creation. Toone openly invites tight pressure and enjoys using her ‘tricky feet’ to weave her way through defensive lines, ball-in-tow. This affords others the time and space to take up advanced and threatening positions. Not just a prolific assistant, Toone is also a respectable goal scorer having already netted two hat-tricks for England. Toone will certainly offer an essential dose of creativity against sides who prefer to sit back in a low block. Keira Walsh Deep lying midfielder Keira Walsh is the Lionesses’ linchpin. She is, quite simply, the key that unlocks the very best of England’s potential. Walsh demonstrates remarkable vision and makes good on this ability to forward think with her diverse passing range. The Barcelona midfielder is able to spray passes any which way across the pitch with acute accuracy, and routinely spots the key space and off-the-shoulder runs that others tend to miss. Although she may not be the most physical defensive midfielder, Walsh shows capability in dispossessing at crucial moments and adds a layer of protection ahead of the backline with her intelligent positioning. It is not an overstatement to say that Walsh occupies the Lionesses’ most organic ‘footballing brain’. She is a truly gifted midfielder. Katie Zelem Manchester United captain Katie Zelem is becoming a common name on the Lionesses squad list of late. With United heavily contending for domestic acclaim, Zelem’s profile as a possession-based and precision-led central midfielder has become fundamental to her club. Zelem is best used in a double pivot in which she is able to step out and ping pinpoint passes forward whilst still maintaining a level defensive cover. Excelling in deadball situations, Zelem is a prolific set-piece taker and set-piece scorer. From both corners and free-kicks, Zelem’s deadly right foot sees her as an essential component in goal creation as she assists others. She is also renowned for scoring from the corner flag which is never a bad trick to pull out the bag. Forwards Lauren Hemp Manchester City’s Lauren Hemp is the Lionesses’ ‘not so secret’ weapon. The left sided winger is unfathomably quick and uses her pace to propel England’s transitional play. Hemp is an absolute headache of a forward for defenders, relentlessly darting through oppositions and shattering lines with ease. Whether an opponent or a viewer, you simply cannot switch off when Hemp is on the ball. Hemp is charismatic, bold, at times audacious, and due to this magnetism, she is often sought out by the Lionesses’ deep ball playing contingent as their initiating attacker. She is also a fine crosser of the ball which suits England’s typical 4-3-3 system down to the ground. Hemp is still only in the beginnings of her career, yet she already approaches matches with a confidence that will only lead to extraordinary things. Lauren James Widely regarded as one of the rawest footballing talents the country has ever seen, Lauren James is simply magnificent to watch. The Chelsea forward can play in just about any attacking position and deals with whatever she is tasked with radiating collectedness. It is almost as if James defies time and space when she is in possession. Everyone and everything around her appear to stand still as she motors toward goal, darting around opponents as if they are nothing more than cones marked out on a training ground. With pressing qualities as well as defensive substance, James’ ludicrous speed paired with her ease on the ball is just the tip of the iceberg. There is no other way to describe James’ game than to define it as inexplicably cool, but the real exhilaration comes in knowing that she is nowhere near her prime. Mark these words, Lauren James will define a generation. Chloe Kelly England hero Chloe Kelly gives the Lionesses yet another dynamic option along the wing. The Manchester City forward, who had an indescribable summer after returning from an ACL injury, offers a slightly alternative profile to that of her fellow wingers. Kelly is possibly best described as a ‘traditional winger’. Usually situated on the right, Kelly prefers to keep her width but is equally capable of drifting into the interior channels as an inside-forward. Kelly boasts a devastating crossing ability and her pace is complementary to that of left-sided colleague Lauren Hemp. Katie Robinson Brighton’s Katie Robinson is a relatively new name on the senior roster, having made her first appearance for England in November of last year. Robinson’s form at Brighton has gone from strength to strength and she has served as a light in a dark spiral amidst their poor performances this season. Robinson is capable in assisting others, as well as being a goal scorer herself. The twenty-year-old likes to put pressure on defenders and is direct in her approach. She is also an ever-testing threat to goalkeepers and usually does well with her targeted efforts. With her desire to ‘make things happen’ Robinson is able play a key part in transitioning build-up play into substantial attacks. Alessia Russo The backheel assassin herself Alessia Russo is becoming a regular face on game days and it’s proving to be increasingly beneficial. The Manchester United striker gives the Lionesses’ forward line something altogether compelling; a buoyant point of reference to target. Russo is adaptable and has experience in playing out wide, however she is most effective when stationed in the centre as a no. 9. Using her physicality, Russo likes to put the pressure on and strongly contest for the ball, thus causing her to have quite the presence in the area. Russo is a capable dribbler, and is also a willing runner, which leaves England in good stead when using quick transitions. Finally, Russo is extremely good in the air adding further element to her layered abilities. Ebony Salmon Since her move to the States, Ebony Salmon has been tearing up football pitches and making defences squirm with the Houston Dash. Domestically, the centre forward is in illustrious form and will hoping to begin to carry this over to the international stage. Salmon is an out and out no. 9 with that instinctive eye to pounce on any mistake or opening an opponent might leave. As well as being a constant threat in the box, Salmon is also willing to track back to support by ‘defending from the front’. More often than not makes good on the service provided and is a proven clinical finisher. With Ellen White’s retirement, Wiegman is in need of rotational options upfront to balance out Alessia Russo’s workload and Ebony Salmon readily fits the bill here.

Thoughts on: Lauren Hemp Thoughts on: Lauren Hemp Hemp Back 12 September 2020 By Charlotte Stacey Catch Me If You Can Tom Flathers Having already been named International Young Player of the Year in 2017, and twice winning the PFA Women's Young Player of the Year in 2018 and 2020, Manchester City and England forward Lauren Hemp is fast cementing herself as a rising star on the football field. Lauren Hemp is nothing if not a grafter. Her unbreakable can do attitude and irrepressible energy has caught the eye of many, including that of England boss Phil Neville. At 19, Hemp has justly earned her first senior international caps, and played a fundamental part in the sell-out spectacular at Wembley Stadium. Bearing an instinctively attacking mindset, and possessing a deadly speed, Hemp is somewhat of a nuisance for even the tightest defensive line. With a natural agility, as well as some nifty footwork, Hemp is able to dart into positions that cause all sorts of problems for her marker. Her game is magnificently quick. In fact, the speed in which she covers a pitch seems inconceivable at times. It is her pace, alongside her gift to foresee and meet an incoming ball, that causes her to stand out amongst the rest. Charlotte Stacey No stranger to a shot, Hemp's scoring record for both City and England is growing. But whilst she may not be within top goal scorer territory yet, she is often involved in the build up of others. Hemp's mounting pressure on the wing frequently sees her put in a strong cross or two, and with her quick movement, she is already accomplished in championing a counter. Yet, where she is without fear in attacking, she also demonstrates no fear in defending. Hemp is gritty. With a tenacious standpoint, she takes no issue with insistently retrieving a ball lost in possession. Neither with taking herself back to dispel a threat from the opposition, or to unify with her teammates when needed. Harbouring an honest outlook that will take her far, Hemp herself recognises that there is still work to do in getting to the top, and in securing her permanency in the national side. Hemp notes that she is "still not the finished article", and whilst this perhaps currently rings true, she is undoubtedly headed in the right direction. Being at one of the biggest female clubs in the country, and regularly playing alongside veterans of the game, will only quicken her journey in reaching her potent full potential. Hemp is observably a player that takes everything on board. A player who actively uses her experiences to better her play, and one who is always looking to progress forward. Her clear ambition and drive signifies that of a true go-getter. With Manchester City asserting themselves as a dominant force, and with the Lionesses gearing up for a busy couple of years, the future looks nothing but promising for Hemp. Of course, whether she is able to secure a place in the international squad for their upcoming tournament remains to be seen. But reflecting on the season she has had so far, it certainly looks hopeful. However, speculation aside, what is clear, is that for Hemp, there is plenty more to come. Lauren Hemp - one to watch.

Phil Neville to step down as Lionesses head coach. Shoes to Phil Back Phil Neville to step down as Lionesses head coach. SportsMode Friday, 11 September 2020 By Charlotte Stacey Thursday 23rd April 2020 was a busy news day for English football. The morning confirmed that manager Phil Neville will step down next summer upon the expiry of his contract, and the afternoon revealed that the suspected postponement of the home Euro’s to 2020, is in fact the case. Both announcements have brought about a hefty amount of uncertainty, leaving us with more questions than answers. Neville’s time with the Lionesses seemed to begin well. In a similar fashion to his predecessor Mark Sampson, Neville managed to lead the national side to a World Cup semi-final, and even enjoyed tournament victory with the 2019 SheBelieves Cup. However, the latter half of his tenure has seen this surface success take a downward spiral. A string of losses and a somewhat lacklustre performance at last month’s SheBelieves Cup has left Neville under scrutiny. There is no doubt that Neville took on the job with the right mindset, and a genuine belief that he would be able to take the team to ‘new heights’. Neville was entrusted with a talented squad. A squad that most definitely has the ability to remain up there with the best of them. Unfortunately, the favourable outlook the Lionesses had in place when Neville arrived will be very different upon his departure. Whether it is an absence of managerial experience, a lack of familiarity of the women’s game, or a set of other factors entirely, perhaps we cannot be sure of. But consistently playing certain players out of position, a failure to develop a steady defence, and a stubbornness in his tactical approach has certainly not helped Neville’s cause. Arguably it has been Neville’s refusal to adapt that has ultimately led to his downfall. Neville’s contract originally planned to have him at the helm for both the Tokyo Olympics and the Euro’s. However, due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, and the subsequent postponement of both, it is likely that Neville with manage neither. With Neville’s contract terminating in July 2021 and the Olympics taking place between July and August 2021, it seems highly improbable that he will be the one heading up Team GB. But with no football to be played for the foreseeable, many fans have been left questioning why Neville is completing his tenure at all. Perhaps it is simply the case that Neville does not want to yet step down. It is of course, absolutely his right to remain in the role until his contract ends. But it is more likely a move of the FA. One, it is perhaps improper in the current climate to fund an early departure, and two, from their perspective keeping the position filled whilst considering replacements is favourable. Bringing in a new manager early has pros and cons. Of course, it would provide time to consider their squad without the stress of a quick turnaround, and allow talks to become acquainted with players. But with no football being played, and no indication of when it may return, how much can a new manager feasibly prepare? It is Neville’s replacement that is currently setting tongues wagging. The pool of viable candidates has not changed too much since the time of Neville’s appointment. WSL club bosses Casey Stoney, Emma Hayes and Joe Montemurro could all be considered. Ex-USWNT manager Jill Ellis and Lionesses Under-21’s coach Mo Marley are also amongst the names being thrown around. But whomever they are considering, the FA must be careful in their decision. With a full calendar of a possible five consecutive summer tournaments, the next England boss will certainly have a tall order ahead of them. The Lionesses themselves will face challenges, both personally, and as a team in the coming years. Not only will they have to endure a relentlessly exhausting schedule, but the possible retirement of older players, either before or during this period, will undoubtably shift the feel and dynamic of the squad. The next England manager will have to positively lead a team that is not only rebuilding itself from a stint of mishaps, but one that is also dealing with the physical implications and mental health effects of this year’s devastating pandemic. The FA should certainly be considering these factors in searching for a suitable candidate. What remains after these announcements is a whole host of uncertainty and speculation, and they have done little to ease the anxieties of England supporters. But hopefully the FA will take into account the highs and lows of Neville’s term, and consider them in choosing his successor. Of course, at this time, the future of all sporting events hangs in the balance, and the proposed calendar may change once again. But whatever happens, it’s clear that we certainly have a few interesting years ahead of us.
