My post-game takes
Just got back from RI—can’t wait for White Stadium… maybe I’m the only one!
1st take (maybe a hot one): Araujo is crucial for our attack. Her outlet passes are decisive and can consistently break down the first level of an opponent’s defense. Sure, maybe she’s shaky at times and steps too high, but I’ll take that for what she brings to the attack. Elgin’s got her covered (I hope).
2nd take: I haven’t seen enough Josefine Hasbo love on here or elsewhere. She is an ENGINE in the defensive midfield, playing full nineties like it’s nothing. I wish she had more confidence in the attack, but maybe that will come.
3rd take (maybe the least hot): Gutierres and Aissata together more please? Maybe even Gambone if Gutierres’ is working through an injury. I love Aissata so much, she needs someone with a bit more stability and awareness to play off of. They were getting it more in the last few minutes tonight. Could’ve been adrenaline, but I liked what they were doing.
I’m new here, but I like the discussion posts I’ve seen in the past! What are your takeaways from tonight?
