And we've seen, you know, in recent years they haven't been able to win.

Chelsea's been super dominant in the past six seasons, seven possibly.

And now Man City is taking over.

And they made that very clear against Chelsea this past weekend, winning 5-1.

I've been, yeah, I've been surprised, but we can't forget that they've had a few injuries, you know, this year to top players.

You know, Kim Little just got back into the squad playing more consistently.

And then Leah Williamson obviously was out.

And those are two strong leaders that, you know, are the anchors and the spines of the team.

So they've been absent for some of the season, if not most of the first half of the season.

So it's difficult when you don't have two of your best players, two of your leaders, being able to continue that success for the team.

And I think that that is one of the main reasons.

And then personnel, I think that they've been rotating and relationship building, I think, is key.

So that's been an effect.

And...

yeah just the the amount of games that you play people forget that you know and there's been so many games added onto the schedule but i think the demands of that mentally and physically have been tough so yeah every year is a new year so i think that their goal is to obviously win everything it's a business especially for one of the best clubs in the world um and and i think they they have

you know most of the season left the second half of the season which they can climb up to the table but they have a tough they have a tough matchup this weekend coming up manchester city uh again as you mentioned that big win this weekend let's get to the game now with what we saw because very early it was quite clear how this game was going to go carolyn collects the ball takes a shot scores an early one she was so impressive so good

I thought to myself watching this game that she's kind of back to where she was right before her injury.

She was clinical.

She was ruthless in front of goal.

She created opportunities for them to be successful.
