I have an extremely amateurish and unpopular view of the Women's team: We don't score because we have an important person in the final third who has mediocre passing skills and stops flow. That person is "player-of-the-year" Carly Lloyd. I don't know what you do about that. It seems that you either play her close to the goal and let her hammer on people, or get her out of there. Heresy, I know.
This manager also seems to have a love affair with the youngest generation --- understandable if planning the future, but 2018 isn't THAT far away. We need people who are good with the ball at their feet in the final third (duh...). As of now, Lynn Williams is not. Everyone's drooling there but she owes success to her teammates' feet --- speed she has, but we have lots of other speed.
The coach needs to get Pugh and Heath and Dunn in the game together --- that probably means the absence of most of Lloyd, Morgan, Press, Williams, Rapinoe, and Lavelle, since none of them seem to really be midfielders --- Heath could do it since she can do anything, but that would be an offensive waste.
Apologies for talking about the girls.......
