Bring your A game! They have good tacklers in defense but we should aim to get in behind them and beat them for pace. Their centre back just smashes the ball up the pitch so forwards should give her NO ROOM to do this. From sweeper hit outs, we should put on the press as normal but maybe step back a bit to try to stop the hard hit through - which they tend to go for every time.
They have some good strikers. Marking closely in defense is important. Defenders take responsibility to call back the mids to take the extra players. They are good at taking opportunities in the D - don't let them in!
We only have two defenders so a few of us will have to take one for the team and play in defense for a bit.
