BRUH. That's all I have to say about that.

I know we didn't get a proper post-match thread to discuss the game, so I'd love to hear people's thoughts. Things that are sticking with me:

- Hubly at left wing? Barry is the obvious sub there when she's healthy, but it was an interesting experiment.

- I thought Bebar had another excellent game. Felt like she was everywhere Claire wasn't in the midfield.

- I'd love to see numbers on her touches, but Lema's first touch with her back to goal feels like it's coming along really well. She dribbled out of double teams several times too.

- The replay of the 2nd Portland goal made it obvious that they needed to double team Wilson so one player could cover the far post, but I'm not even mad, to be honest. It's totally understandable. You'd instinctively swarm Chawinga or Banda or Shaw in that moment, and Wilson is right up there with them. And her cross was saucy af.

- When Dahlkemper is back, do you think she'll take RCB? Who would you put on the left with her based on current form, Joelle or Cometti?

Montoya could *never*. This was a well-coached performance today.

Whatever other ups and downs this season still come, Emma Coates is a huge upgrade from Montoya.
