In terms of Emily Murphy, I think that's our toured player of the game award now, which is just, I think she's really found her...

around in the group but I think when Emily was first called in I think a lot of people were questioning her took her a while to probably settle now she's at Newcastle she's playing at a really good level I think she's by far been one of her best performances over the last in this campaign anyway on the ball but also her work right off the ball is just that drives everybody around you and then

her quality on the ball at times even you know when she picks the ball up for a goal she's thinking shot straight away that's the confidence that she has at the moment and Carla has really backed her in this campaign and I think she's given that back to Carla now in her performances and how she performed She certainly has I think it was her 10th cap tonight she's 23 years of age as you say the move to Newcastle has really helped her but she's playing like a player who's got double that amount of caps

Absolutely.

And I'm not sure when she came into the group, a lot of us would have seen that.

And that's what I think is brilliant.

She's come in and really hold her own.

And I think the nation now have really taken to her.

I mean, if you're getting three player to match awards, I mean, what else?

You know, that speaks volumes on your performances.

She's really, really impressed.

I'm delighted for her.

And look, you do your talking on the pitch with your performances.

She's been outstanding in this campaign.

I think she's just clever.

I think you can talk about the other side of our game as well.

There was two chances throughout the game that Poland could have countered us and it was actually Emily who blocked it and stopped it and then...

in the last third of the game again they got in behind and it was Emily that was there I think she just has the fitness levels to be everywhere she wants to be as you said she's picking up lovely positions for her goal to create Shiva's goal but I think defensively as well she's really helping us and yeah she's been outstanding

Well I think that formation that she's now found with them the 5-3-2 with the wing backs whoever you want to look at it I think that really suits us it suits the players that we have you even see you know Carusa who's been such a big player for us a hold up player she gets a bug tonight and Larko can come in and step in and the players know what they want from Carla and you know obviously being close with Katie we've had a few chats with her over the last few months and she's you know said they've found the formation now that suits the group and that's great you can see it

As I said, positive performances against the Dutch and the Netherlands and France who are giants really in world football and real positive performances.
