WSL talking points: Miedema proves doubters wrong and Chelsea stumble again

P

Liverpool hold firm against Chelsea, with Alyssa Thompson scoring the opener in a 0-0 draw. The Reds levelled just before half-time and held out for the full 90 minutes, despite Chelsea's introduction of Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones in the second half.

Vivianne Miedema played a key role in Liverpool's victory, showcasing her quality with a cutting through ball that set up Bunny Shaw. The Dutch forward has been in rich vein of form for Manchester City this season, creating four chances against Manchester United on Saturday and being unlucky to have been denied a goal by the woodwork.

Arsenal are struggling to find their footing after back-to-back draws, with Renée Slegers' side creating momentum but failing to capitalise when they had opportunities. The team's inability to convert their chances has far fewer problems than their rivals, who are failing to create big opportunities.

Leicester set an unwanted record in Brighton's 4-1 win, surpassing Yeovil Town's previous record for the longest period without a WSL victory.

Rehanne Skinner's West Ham finally claimed their first league win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Everton. The side showed control and ruthlessness, winning second balls and unsettling an Everton side stretched by injuries.

London City Lionesses piled pressure on the top five with a comfortable 3-1 win over Aston Villa, moving within one point of Arsenal and Tottenham.
 
Ugh, can't believe Chelsea didn't score 🤔! Alyssa Thompson's goal was super crucial for Liverpool and Vivianne Miedema played a great part in it too. I mean, she's been on fire this season with Manchester City, always creating chances like that cutting through ball 💥. And to think Arsenal are struggling to find their rhythm... they need to sort out their finishing issues ASAP 🙅‍♀️. Leicester's record is pretty embarrassing though - 4-1 loss in Brighton? 😳 What's going on with that team?! On the other hand, West Ham's finally got a win and it feels like a huge relief for them 💪. And London City Lionesses are killing it right now! They're definitely giving top five teams a run for their money 👑.
 
omg just watched that match between Liverpool and Chelsea and I'm still buzzing! Alyssa Thompson's goal was absolute perfection 🤩 and Vivianne Miedema's through ball for Bunny Shaw was pure magic ✨ but what really got me excited is how solid Liverpool were, they totally shut down Chelsea's attacks. it's like they were the only team on the pitch with that kind of determination and focus 💪

and can we talk about Arsenal struggling to find their footing? I feel bad for them, they've had some tough draws lately but I still think they've got this season in them 🤞 maybe Renée Slegers needs to get those players clicking again?

but the real hero of the match was West Ham, they finally got that first win and it feels amazing 😊 Rehanne Skinner's side showed so much grit and teamwork, it's about time we see some consistency from them.
 
omg did u watch that liverpool match? Alyssa Thompson scored tho but it wasnt like it mattered cuz liverpool just held firm lol what's w/ arsenal struggling 2 find their ftng? i feel 4 them they had chances tho Renée Slegers is a genius but cant score 😂 anyway, leicester set a record fer failin in so many games 🤣 3-1 win 4 west ham tho! Rehanne Skinner must be livin her best life 💁‍♀️
 
Omg I'm loving this season so far! That Liverpool vs Chelsea match was crazy intense 🤯 Alyssa Thompson's goal was sick! But seriously, I think Vivianne Miedema is having an amazing time with Manchester City, she always brings that fire 🔥 And what's up with Arsenal? They just can't seem to get it together 😩 Rehanne Skinner and West Ham are on a roll though, that 3-1 win over Everton was epic! 🎉
 
Ugh, can't say I'm surprised about Liverpool holding Chelsea to a draw 🤔💦. It's like they just keep finding ways to grind out results without really lighting up the pitch, you know? And that Alyssa Thompson goal was all we got from them, lol 😂. Meanwhile, Arsenal is still stuck in neutral and it's getting frustrating for fans... 😒

But on a more positive note (not really), I did enjoy reading about West Ham finally breaking their winless streak 🎉! They looked so solid against Everton and it's awesome to see Rehanne Skinner's team finally finding some momentum 💪. And hey, at least the Lionesses are putting pressure on those top teams with their recent win 🙅‍♀️... until they inevitably implode or something 😬
 
I'm totally confused about this WSL stuff... Liverpool played Chelsea to a draw and I'm thinking that's awesome for them, but then I read about Leicester not winning in ages and I'm all like "wait, what's the point?" 🤔 But then I see West Ham get their first win of the season and I'm hyped! Like, yay for them and stuff. But hold up, London City Lionesses are doing so well now... is this a threat to Arsenal? Ugh, my head hurts trying to keep up with all these teams and scores 🤯
 
I gotta say, this WSL has been all about consistency, you know? Like, it's not always about winning or losing, but more about who shows up and puts in the work every week. Liverpool vs Chelsea was a great example of that - both teams were evenly matched, but Liverpool just couldn't drop their level of intensity 😊. And I love how Vivianne Miedema is killing it for Manchester City right now! She's like the ultimate team player 🤩.

And can we talk about Leicester for a second? They're the ultimate underdogs, and that win over Brighton was pure gold 💃. It just goes to show that anyone can have a good day (or week) in this league. And lastly, it's amazing to see teams like West Ham and London City Lionesses starting to find their footing 🙌. More wins = more excitement! 😄
 
omg i just got the cutest new cat from my neighbor she's this adorable little calico thing and she's literally purring nonstop 🐱💤 anyway back to football lol did u see that goal by Alyssa Thompson? so cool but i was thinking about how i need to get my hands on some of those new sneaker collabs dropping next month gotta cop the limited edition ones for my friend's bday party 🎉👞 and btw have you tried that new coffee shop downtown? their cappuccinos are straight fire ☕️
 
I'm so sorry to hear you're having a tough day 😔. It sounds like football is getting all those emotions out for you! 🏆 The fact that Liverpool held firm against Chelsea is just amazing - I can imagine how nerve-wracking that must be for them, especially with the introduction of Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones in the second half. But Alyssa Thompson's opener was the perfect spark to get them going! 💪

And I love what you said about Vivianne Miedema - she just seems like a superstar on the pitch, doesn't she? 🤩 Her cutting through ball for Bunny Shaw must've been incredible to watch in person.

But even with all these exciting results, it's clear that not everyone is having their best season. Arsenal and Leicester are both struggling, which can be really tough to deal with. Maybe take some comfort in the fact that others are doing better than you - like West Ham finally getting that first league win of the season? 🎉 And London City Lionesses are just one point away from moving up the table... it's all about momentum and taking those chances, right? 💫
 
I think Liverpool's draw against Chelsea says a lot about the team's ability to grind out results. It's like they're saying "we don't need all those fancy goals to get by" kinda vibe 🤔. Meanwhile, Arsenal can't seem to find their footing after those draws and it's starting to look like they might be stuck in neutral gear 💨.

And what's up with Leicester not winning a game in ages? It's like they're running out of steam and can't even get close to scoring 🚫. On the other hand, West Ham is on fire right now! They've got some real momentum going and it'll be interesting to see if they can keep it up 🔥.

I also think London City Lionesses are putting a lot of pressure on those top teams with their recent win 😏. It's like they're saying "hey, we're not gonna be ignored anymore" 👊
 
Just watched this game between Liverpool and Chelsea 🤔, can't believe Alyssa Thompson scored that opener! 😂 The Dutch forward Vivianne Miedema was on fire 🔥, her ball through to Bunny Shaw was pure magic ✨. But what's going on with Arsenal right now? 🙄 Back-to-back draws and struggling to create chances. They need to get their heads together soon ⏰.

And that Leicester side is in a mess 😂, I mean who wants to be the team without a win after 9 games? 🤣 West Ham's win over Everton was sweet as honey 🍯, Rehanne Skinner's side showed some real quality. London City Lionesses are on fire 🔥, they need to keep that momentum going or they'll miss out on a top spot. 💪
 
omg I think Liverpool's defense was SO solid 🤩 but at the same time, Chelsea looked super bored out there 😴 they just couldn't seem to break through... and what's up with Alyssa Thompson scoring the opener? she's never played for Liverpool before lol! 😂 and Vivianne Miedema is literally a game changer, I mean she's been playing so well lately 🤯 but on the other hand, it seems like Arsenal are just getting the hang of this season slowly but surely... or maybe not? 🤔
 
just saw this thread 🤔 what's up with all these draws? i mean, it's football, you gotta take the good with the bad, but sometimes it feels like the most exciting games are the ones where nobody scores lol anyway, love Alyssa Thompson for her goal, and Vivianne Miedema's playmaking skills are insane 🔥 she's been on fire this season. not sure what's going on with Arsenal though, they're one of the top teams in the country and they can't seem to get a win 🤷‍♀️ and that Leicester team is just having an awful run, hope they snap out of it soon 👀
 
Man I'm loving the competitiveness in this league right now 🙌! Liverpool showing they're not just some flash-in-the-pan team by holding it down against Chelsea. Alyssa Thompson's goal was sick 💥 and Vivianne Miedema being her usual self, creating chaos for opposing teams as always 😂.

And poor Arsenal, struggling to find their rhythm after those back-to-back draws 🤦‍♀️. They're not creating enough chances and it's just not clicking like it did last season. I'm a bit worried about them if they don't get things together ASAP.

Leicester setting that record for longest WSL winless streak is just brutal 😓. Rehanne Skinner's West Ham finally getting their first league win this season though, that's massive 🎉! London City Lionesses are putting pressure on the top 5 and I think they've got a shot at making some noise in the second half of the season. The table's looking interesting, can't wait to see how it all plays out 🔥
 
I was saying this earlier but I think Liverpool's victory is kinda underwhelming 🤔. Alyssa Thompson scoring the opener but not even a single goal in the end? It feels like they just held onto their lead for too long ⏰. And what's with Chelsea's squad depth issues again? They keep bringing in new players and still can't seem to create chances 💭. I was talking about this last week when Manchester City beat United 3-1, how impressive is that Vivianne Miedema's form? 🤩
 
I don't get why people are hyping up Liverpool's draw against Chelsea 🤔... I mean, it was just a boring game that could've been either way. But at the same time, Alyssa Thompson's goal was actually really cool 😎, and Vivianne Miedema's playmaking is insane! 💥 I'm also loving how West Ham finally got their first win of the season 🎉... but on the other hand, Rehanne Skinner might've made some questionable subs... and Leicester setting a record for most consecutive losses? That's just cruel 😒.
 
Just saw that Liverpool took a major step forward against Chelsea, Alyssa Thompson's goal was the highlight 🎉🏆! But honestly, the game was super dull 😴. I mean, 0-0 draw is not exactly what fans want to see. Still, credit to Vivianne Miedema for her quality play and Bunny Shaw for scoring that beauty ⚽️! Liverpool's defense was solid, held out for 90 minutes 💪.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are struggling to find their rhythm 🕰️. They need to get those chances converted ASAP or they'll be left behind 📈. And wow, Leicester set a record for longest winless streak in the WSL... that's gotta hurt 😳. But Rehanne Skinner's West Ham is looking like a dark horse with that first league win of the season 🦇! And London City Lionesses are making moves, pushing the top five to stay relevant 💪🏼🔥!
