Injuries have hit and FSG have given their women’s team plenty of thought but Matt Beard’s side need strengthening
There will be many admirers of the frugal spending philosophy of Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, especially with the men’s team top of the Premier League. For the club’s women’s team, however, languishing 19 points behind the leaders, Chelsea, as the Women’s Super League approaches the season’s halfway stage, is it time for FSG to rethink that model and inject more money to avoid falling further behind?
Admittedly, Matt Beard’s side’s 2024-25 campaign has been hindered by an extensive injury list that includes key players such as Marie Höbinger and Sophie Román Haug and an inability to convert their chances in early draws against Leicester, West Ham and Crystal Palace. But they are now on a four-game losing league run without scoring and their supporters will be frustrated to lie significantly closer to the relegation zone than the European places.
