Manchester City lead the Women's Super League and look well placed to keep the title race tight. The team have shown tactical gains, confidence, and strong form from key players.
Manchester City sit six points clear at the top of the Women's Super League, putting them in a strong position in the title race.
Players say the squad is taking more responsibility this season. City press opponents hard, win the ball back quickly and move into attack with speed.
Coach Andree Jeglertz has changed the team’s tactics and roles. Adjustments such as a more attacking role for Yui Hasegawa and using Kerstin Casparij on the wing have helped the team become more dynamic.
Jeglertz has pushed the squad to be more aggressive and hungry for goals. The side now keeps pressing even when leading, and that approach has produced fast, high-scoring moments in matches.
Players report they are enjoying football more this season. Attackers are given freedom to play on instinct, which has improved balance and confidence across the team.
Bunny Shaw has returned to form after an injury and is among the league’s top scorers. She is supported by players such as Vivianne Miedema and Yui Hasegawa, and the squad has depth to cover absences.
Kerstin Casparij has been key at creating chances and linking play to the forwards. Along with other creators like Fujino, City have a steady stream of attacking ideas.
City return from the winter break to face Everton next. Key fixtures against Chelsea and Arsenal in February will be important tests for their title bid.
