I wonder if not playing up front for the Lionesses has made Rachel Daly's retirement from England a little easier to make? And if Emma Hayes CAN'T... Is Sonia Bompastor the perfect person to bring a champions league trophy to Chelsea?
Sonia Bompastor is a great replacement for EA and could win the Champions League. As for Rachel Daly retiring, there is never a good time. Us 🏴 would love to bring Kimmy Little out of retirement. ( We so miss her ) Great chat Shebahn 😁
Shebahn Rachel Daly retiring from England is inevitable as she has run her course especially with Russo in pole position. Russo requires the correct players around her to feed off as an out and out striker. I say more games for Grace Clinton playing alongside Russo with Toone behind. I also think Mead will be retiring next year from England as she needs to concentrate on Arsenal. Rachel Daly playing alongside Russo at Arsenal would work and would present a formidable attacking force for Arsenal. I would also recommend Arsenal buy Toone if they want to guarantee WSL titles . p.s brilliant presentation / you gorgeous person 😊
You have hit the nail on the head re Rachel Daly. I reckon She went to Sarina and said what are my chances of a starting role in the future instead of being a substitute all the time and Sarina said none. So she decided to go
daly : the quality everyone sees bus says nowt , shes a terrier creates chances out of nothing hounds the defenders knows how to press no one has that ability (to her standard)
@davewright8206 A "Lioness" (higher case) is a player who plays for England. It's to do with the England badge imagery. Shirt worn ~ box ticked. Rachel Daly is one of those who transcends that though; one who warrants: "Now THAT is a lioness".
Think you are totally correct about Rachel Daly.. I was very surprised at first…but then Could understand why…putting on as substitute at 80+minutes, was more or less insulting?…She is an out and out striker and so determined and aggressive to win… have always thought so.. anyway her record here and in the USA proves that!!!….And she is better than Russo too… who is not ruthless enough or decisive enough in front of goal….(my opinion for a while). I think that other clubs will now try to get her away from Aston v Villa…she would be great at Arsenal ( but probably would not be a fan of the manager??)…others will be interested too, no doubt. Am really sad she won’t be playing internationally now….Kim Little did the same… another totally brilliant player… who continues to be Captain Courageous at Arsenal…👍👍 Hope she goes to Chelsea and plays again with bestie Millie .. that would be ideal…Serina is making one or two misjudgments lately, it seems?… but maybe the players, are also suffering with too many fixtures now…and the FA are to blame for not listening to complaints or just not bothered about player welfare..as long as the money rolls in… more women needed in that organisation, for Certain !!!
First of all football is not a fairytale and no position is anybody’s birthright. She retired cos she wasn’t playing for the batch reason she felt insulted by Russo starting over her and no, Arsenal or Chelsea will not sign her for any fantasy you have in your head. I agree with some of the other things you’ve said
Hello Shebahn. I commented when only English potential managers for Chelsea were in the headlines that I thought they might go after tge Paris FC manager. I got the country right. Rachel is a particular favourite of mine, being from Yorkshire. Sad to hear the news. She did talk abiut getting married. Perhaps she wants to concentrate on her personal life? Mind you, if I were Manchester United manager, I would be after her to play next season to fill the position left by Alessia Russo, not that the other forwards are not good, but United seem to lack someone who can drag a team forward, like Rachel did often at Houston Dash.
Sad times Rachel leaving international duties 😢 love this show, not found you guys that long ago and been bingeing back episodes, think I’m up to date now 😂 you guys crack me up! When’s Ruesh gonna be back! Keep doing what you’re doing so funny. From a Gooner who loves all football ⚽️
I think not starting in the friendly against Italy put the seeds into her mind. Although friendlies she scored just as many goals as Russo in half the time. It was put off this first round of Euro matches as she wanted to see what would happen. I still maintain the friendly against the US last year they were relieved she played in defence as she would have run them ragged She is quality both in playing and personality.
One thing I hope Is she stays at the Villa, however I think a bigger club will come In for her, as she has the ability to lead the line at Man Utd, Chelsea or Man City, but having said that how does she dislodge Sam Kerr, Bunny Shaw and so on. who knows maybe Lyon, Bayern, Barcelona shes world-class she can go anywhere
I look at Russo and think that Arsenal must thank their lucky stars that they didn't pay a fortune to get her early from Man Utd - not what was promised by the Euros. I look at Daly and think that Aston Villa couldn't believe their luck when she chose them off the back of the Euros. A sad loss to the Lionesses
Sonia Bompastor is one of the best of the best! I think she'll be excellent for Chelsea. Her coaching style added to the WSL will only make the league stronger. I was so sorry to hear of Rachel Daly's retirement from international football, but I completely understand and respect her decision. I do think she's been hugely underrated in her England role. I have all respect for Sarina Wiegman as England manager, but I do think she made a huge mistake in not putting Rachel out front and centre as Lionesses' striker - full stop! I wouldn't take anything away from Alessia Russo's (or anyone else's) ability in that role, but I do think the absolute best choice, at least for a part of each match, would've been to have Rachel out front. I will miss Rachel Daly's presence for England greatly. Regarding her future, I do think she could probably write her own ticket to just about anywhere. Wherever she goes, long may she continue to 'wow' the world of women's football. She's a legend. Cheers!
Rachel has spoken about the lack of breaks on International football on interviews before. I disagree with the speculation about being a substitute had anything to do with her decision based on what she has said
Sonia Bompastor She did well at lyon and personally I think it was a good choice and I also hoped that it would be her Rachel Daly 🙌🫶 I have followed her for so long, she is a great player with a great heart, I cried together with Meado,Toonie and Wiliamsom . River Deep Mountain High Rachel Daly bless her 🙌
I am not a fan of Emma Hayes far too opinionated on non football matters and think this latest farce with “male aggression” when it’s clear she is the aggressor taints her value as a manager
Bankrolled by Abramovich should have champions league on CV already, She was clueless in CL Final v Barcelona didn't know what to do making changes so quickly when conceding each goal,
All of Emmas players speak very highly of her and im sure they have a better grasp on who she is as a person and manager then you do...seeing as they actually know her and you just know what the media feeds you
After the world cup ended you could tell that Sarina was moving away from Rachel Daly. I am shocked that Rachel has stepped away from international duty, but I feel like this move will extend her club career. Rachel's contribution to the Lionesses has been immense. She will definitely be missed by the squad on and off the pitch....
Sarina is great coach. She knows she cannot continue with the old guard and needs to blood the cubs to have continued success. There are others in the pride that will soon be gone also. It’s right to pay homage to those that depart! But welcome the new blood into the pride.
So sad to see Daly go! Feel like she still had more to give for the Lionesses. But happy for her that she feels it’s the right time! Loved her and Millie’s friendship. PS, love the glasses Shebahn
I'm surprised sonia chose to come to chelsea. She's Lyon through and through. I honestly thought it was desperate for chelsea to try and get her, but money talks. Chelsea will be staying on top of the league for years to come. As for Daly I think she saw that her being a sub and playing LB wasn't worth it anymore.
Attempt to list out England's top 5 performances since the Euros Final. The post Euros fuzzy glow has masked a pretty dire period in which England's best players, in stellar club form and Ballon D'Or listed, have had to dig out results, clinging on by their finger nails. Emma Hayes was co-commentary on some of the matches played in the run-up to the Euros and then in the Nations League. In both phases, she very diplomatically red flagged how teams would set-up to exploit England's vulnerabilities. Whereas Emma Hayes has been known to make first half substitutions when things aren't working ~ Sarina has resolutely stuck to her guns despite opposition teams having 'sussed' England out. In that setting, she hung Toone, Stanway & Russo & the backline out to dry ~ and the England keeper became England's best known player. Rachel Daly has effectively resigned because the situation is untenable. She's seemingly been reduced to a sharp shooting training partner for her fellow top 10 Ballon D'Or listed teamate, Mary Earps. There can be no Wendie Renard style player rebellion (seeing in the return of Le Sommer and Henry) because in contrast to the French Football Federation, the FA have invested heavily in the Lionesses. So, we lose Rachel Daly (see @davewright8206 post) when Euros qualification is at jeopody...but still get to see the brilliance of her elders Le Sommer, Popp and Hermoso.
Excellent comments on Rachel Daly, and on the lionesses performances since the Euros…and even now struggling to qualify for the next Euros!!….mistakes are being made !!!..and ‘some’ players not living up to expectations and ‘hype’…They will regret not having Daly in the team… and so will the fans 🤬🤬….but she had had enough!!… Aston Villa manager … called her the best no 9 in the country…. Being wasted as sub from the bench!!!….Correct … but very sad …..(hope Prince William gives her an O.B.E …he rates her too 👍)…
Your justification for hanging on to the old guard is flawed! The 2023 Euro’s is history…Any good coach, (which you aren’t) knows it’s onwards and upwards. Sarina Wiegman, as a top coach knows this, and does not adhere to sentimental tripe.
I wonder if not playing up front for the Lionesses has made Rachel Daly's retirement from England a little easier to make? And if Emma Hayes CAN'T... Is Sonia Bompastor the perfect person to bring a champions league trophy to Chelsea?

Absolutely! It’s a no-brainer.
Rachel’s presence will be so missed ❤ What a hell of a Euros she had!

I can't believe Rachel daly retired shed give russo a run for her money😭😭😭
Rachael Daly retired because she can't stand coming off the bench all the time
That is not the way to go sha, she’s not the only one getting benched
One thing I hope Is she stays at the Villa, however I think a bigger club will come In for her, as she has the ability to lead the line at Man Utd, Chelsea or Man City, but having said that how does she dislodge Sam Kerr, Bunny Shaw and so on. who knows maybe Lyon, Bayern, Barcelona shes world-class she can go anywhere

rach up front for arsenal or man utd they would be in a better position in the league

I hope Sonia keeps the rest of the staff. They are just as influential in the success of the Chelsea women's team
What a player she is. Cant get rues song about her out of my head all day oh hey rachel daly
Sonia Bompastor
She did well at lyon and personally I think it was a good choice and I also hoped that it would be her
Rachel Daly 🙌🫶
I have followed her for so long, she is a great player with a great heart, I cried together with Meado,Toonie and Wiliamsom .
River Deep Mountain High
Rachel Daly bless her 🙌
I'm curious what Ruesha has to say about Rachel's retirement
Sonia Bompastor....Fantastic choice :0)
I think because she wasn’t playing for City or Arsenal she isn’t included in the first team.
Lots of older players will leave chelsea in the summer. Replacements will be brought in. Best chelsea could do as the players wanted a woman
I am not a fan of Emma Hayes far too opinionated on non football matters and think this latest farce with “male aggression” when it’s clear she is the aggressor taints her value as a manager
Tubby Hayes has always been overvalued. Her so called success is based on Chelsea’s ability to buy top players.
I knew as soon as i saw daley had got a camper van type thing that she was done with international football haha just joking big loss for england
The lionesses need new blood for continued success.. Yes, Rachel was a great lioness but her time had come…and it needs to come for others also!
Bankrolled by Abramovich should have champions league on CV already, She was clueless in CL Final v Barcelona didn't know what to do making changes so quickly when conceding each goal,
MEOW
and she dont appear as `toxic` as emma hayes
Emma's not "toxic." She just has opinions and isn't afraid to voice them..
All of Emmas players speak very highly of her and im sure they have a better grasp on who she is as a person and manager then you do...seeing as they actually know her and you just know what the media feeds you
easy now
@@andybuchan9362 Hayes, just has opinions and isn’t afraid to voice them, you say? That’s just a long-winded way of saying, she has a big mouth!
