Chelsea grind out another win, City look shaky at the back and Terland haunts Spurs once again
Manchester City have now conceded three times as many goals as Chelsea and twice as many as Arsenal in the WSL this season after their high-scoring defeat to the Gunners on Sunday. In the absence of the captain, Alex Greenwood, City have conceded 12 in their last four league games, and when asked how his side could improve defensively, the manager, Gareth Taylor, said it was a question that “everyone needs the answer for,” adding: “We are shipping goals at the moment. We can’t deny that Alex [Greenwood] not being there is really difficult. I think Rebecca [Knaak] has done well but it’s a big step up. We’ve not been able to really refresh the backline at all, so those guys are consistently playing. We just need to improve and get better.” TG
