Thank you very much! I agree, I think she needs to work on ball retention and shot power. One thing I wanted to mention in the video is that I think Toone's influence gets progressively less the longer she holds onto the ball. She thrives off instinct and anticipation and she does release the ball very quickly which is much needed in an England team full of dribblers.

Even if it doesn't benefit Tooney, retention is necessary in a 10. In more physical games or with quicker transitions that break your team (system). And you need to clean up areas and slow down the pace of play to reorganise. 👍🏼

Appreciate you!! :) Thanks for watching!

I would like to see Sarina give more chances to more inexperienced players, but my guess is that she wants the team to gel and be more cohesive since the performances haven't been up to standard. Hoping for them to gain more confidence going into the Euros I think. But we can only speculate.

I could, my next video I'm planning to make is going to be a look at Bompastor's Chelsea so I will probably mention Reiten in there. As for a full video on her, I have players ahead in the queue but I will add Reiten to the list.

Thank you for watching and subscribing!

@@Laila-cw8oj Thanks so much for watching!! Yes, please show them this video, hopefully I did Williamson justice haha

Thank you! I think she's not spoken about enough and is usually only brought up if she's not playing well. Are Bayern in a downfall though?

@ kind of they are very inconsistent and have been for a while seems as if they can't quite find their balance

@@nicolelaubbussalleu8103 They're looking alright at the moment and their Champions League campaign has been good. I think if they drop to the bottom half of the Frauen-Bundesliga table then that would be concerning, but for now they seem to be doing well

@@ShadowFootballYT thought abt a video about keira walsh? did you see the goal she scored yesterday?

@@nicolelaubbussalleu8103 Yeah I did, Walsh is on the list for me but I have a few ahead of her in the queue right now

Thank you! Yeah Alessia Russo is on my list of players to do an analysis video for, when that will happen I'm not sure haha

I hope so too, hopefully she's doing alright.

Thank you! As a United fan I admire lots of City players, I actually have a Hasegawa analysis in the queue for videos to make so I'll try to get that out at some point.

I think Skinner has been experimenting with how best to use Terland, Toone, Bizet, Galton, Clinton, Geyse, Miyazawa etc. He needs time to figure out who should play where. Toone has been deployed at 10 and on the left which I can see why, but I think Skinner has largely settled on her at 10 which I think is the right thing to do.

Thank you!!

Gonna have to disagree with you there unfortunately. Daly retired from the national team, and she plays a different position to Toone. I think there are lots of 10s for Sarina Wiegman to choose from (Park, Kirby, Clinton), but I think Toone is so different to all of them and she works really well with Keira Walsh because she can spot her runs, just like the Euro final goal. Russo is brilliant though I agree, will probably make a video on her down the line.

Toone and Russo are good friends are they? Na, it’s bit more than that, know what I mean nudge, nudge, wink, wink!

​@@DerekLangdon-w9eyou wish

Glad I can make your day! Exactly, she's just a different type of player, one that is quite uncommon but brilliant.

@ I remember when they asked her which player she was more like in the men’s football and I was screaming Thomas Muller at my computer. Then she said KDB

@@laurentikuzwe4354 I haven't seen that haha, but yeah I think her and KDB are very different

Oh wow thank you! I did practice quite a bit before recording the voiceover haha

Toone is very much a team player, I think at United people are expecting her to conjure up her magic every week but sometimes it's really not her fault if she can't. Her Euro final goal vs Jermany will forever live in my head rent free. Thanks so much! I do have more videos out on my channel if you'd like to check them out. I'm currently working on another video now!

Hopefully I did it justice haha

@@ShadowFootballYT you did!

Batlle is so good, United haven't really replaced her yet, Riviere has potential but is still a long way away from Batlle.

Exactly, it's never an accident when she's in space

She is such an asset for her team and as long as her teammates are on the same wavelength as her, her selection will always be justified

🙌🙌

Thank you, yeah I think she's very similar to him but less of a striker

Thanks so much for watching!

It did take me a while to process that whilst editing this video

England's manager Dutch, Dutch manager was English hence shirt swaps

Haha I hope I am

We love her Tooney, we do!

I'm glad you caught that joke haha! Last season was very frustrating to watch, and most of the goals she scored were from her own individual effort rather than a team play. Thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm working on another analysis video now

@ShadowFootballYT hahah the joke was as slick as Tooney's chip shot in the Euro's finals 😸 And I agree, last season was tough to watch indeed, even Arsenal only had a few moments of "beautiful football"; most of the time they were very stagnant, passing without intent or purpose. Pale in comparison to the top tier teams such as Barcelona, Lyon, Wolfsburg, Bayern, Man City, or Chelsea. Despite being an Arsenal fan, I follow most female teams in different leagues, WSL, Frauen-Bundesliga, D1 Arkema, etc. so I'm grateful to see more female football oriented channels such as yours. I'll definitely be watching! 😃🙏 -red.

@@redmisery That chip shop will live rent free in my brain forever. Feel free to check out my previous videos, I did a few game analysis videos involving Arsenal. Thanks so much for watching!

@@DonaPanditha She really is!!

@@phs15 Thank you!

I think she plays the best when she's with England. I wanted to focus on Manchester United for this video, but I have so many examples of her movement and runs with England where players like Walsh, Williamson, Stanway, Russo all notice and actually play the ball to her, which could be a separate video. Playing with top class players elevate her game a lot more and they bring Toone into the forefront because her movement is rarely ever noticed if you're just watching a game. I have to make this video with love because I think she's been unfairly criticised due to people not fully realising how good she is. If you really want to see how good she is, next time you watch a United or England game, just focus on Toone, don't watch anyone else, you'll see just how good she is. Thanks for watching!

@@ShadowFootballYT will do!

Thrive in jermany would she? ….haha.

Thanks so much for watching!!

Thank you so much!! Last season yeah Toone had to really carry the team, half the goals she scored were solo efforts as well, literally dragging her team through the mud. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video!

Exactly, she's levels above what she seems. She's got better teammates around her now at United which I'm sure will elevate her performances

Yes please point them to this video!! I agree, I don't think she'll ever leave United for as long as they want her there. When there were rumours about her going to Barcelona in the summer, it made sense, just imagine her playing alongside Bonmati, Patri and Putellas. She's always good with England and I think Sarina so far has been the best at maximising Toone's strengths. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you for watching! Took me 3 weeks to make this haha

Thanks for watching!

I think the issue with that team wasn't the system, but more the personnel. What United were missing last season, especially the first half, was Lisa Naalsund, who was always on the bench. Miyazawa too. Players capable of linking Zelem to Toone. The gap of mentality in the midfield was the issue, and I think in a 4-1-4-1, Toone would have to play in a deeper role which she can do but doesn't utilise her strengths at all. She's great at playing a couple yards out from the opposition defensive line and if she's dragged elsewhere, that kind of nullifies her game. Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you! I agree, I think she was the scapegoat for a poor and disjointed United team last season. I think Sarina is the coach that really knows her strengths and backs her to start

I saw the game, match analysis videos are less feasible for me at the moment. I have a player profile analysis coming up though!

@@ShadowFootballYT lookin forward to it mate!

@@ik1768 Thank you!

Thank you! Working on a new video right now

Potter looks good, may well be the future honestly, safe to say the DM position in England is in safe hands. As for the keeper position, I think both are fantastic. Personally whoever between the two is the #1, I have no complaints. I think if you look at the players coming through, Sarina has reason to not pick them yet. The core squad is still very young, many of them under 27, there's not much of a reason to blood in young players unless they're performing exceptionally well. Obviously I would like to see more younger players get a chance, but there is still a bit of a gulf in quality between the uncapped players and the capped ones. I think if Layzell wasn't injured, she would have been in the squad.

@@ShadowFootballYT though the forward & midfield core groups may be young, and the CB group is stacked in both starters and depth, the only natural full back in the whole squad for the october friendlies is a person who is going to turn 33 during those said friendlies 😓 i understand not seeing a reason to integrate young players when there's an already settled, relatively young squad and a major major tournament in less than a year (though i still disagree--i just find it understandable), but the fullback situation is very, very iffy. maybe you're right and layzell would have been brought in this camp, but would she have even played? and then the left back position would still be a problem. what happens if charles is injured for the euros? both greenwood and carter now exclusively play CB for their clubs (jess does at gotham since tierna got injured) and england would be missing a huge chunk of attacking power if either played LB. and i don't see layzell being integrated in fast enough to displace bronze's starting position by summer, and, well...as a chelsea fan that now watches her each week, that will probably be an issue. is there truly no other uncapped english fullback with the talent to play on the national team? if that is actually true, maybe the answer is to convert a winger to fullback--that's how niamh got there in the first place, that's chelsea's response to charles's injury (by putting baltimore there), and sarina is certainly used to that with daly. plus, england do have such a wealth of options at winger...reminds me of the "saka-at-LB" conversations lmao. out of curiosity, i just looked at defensive action stats for wsl wingers, and no english player really has very good defensive stats (though i think that partly has to do with the league--wingers on good wsl teams don't have to do much defending lmao), but the player with easily the best (in a relative sense) is missy goodwin. coincidentally, her offensive stats are also fairly horrific (though again, stats for players on bad wsl teams tend to suck), which is another indication of a forward that would thrive in defense!

@@waterthecan I think out of Poppy Pattinson, Anouk Denton, and Ella Morris, Morris suits Wiegman's style the best which is why I picked her, but all of them could well play for England at some point. I think there are enough centre backs that can play full back at the moment with Greenwood, Carter, Morgan, Le Tissier, Layzell, but it is a position Wiegman will have to strengthen. There aren't too many young English full backs that have caught my attention to be honest. I think converting a winger to a full back for a tournament is never going to work. Charles has played at full back for years before she was called into the England squad. Rachel Daly is a smart player and it worked out for the Euros, but looking at players like Baltimore, Galton, Bizet, that have all played at full back this season, it's not a good move for the long run. There are established full backs in the WSL like Ashleigh Neville and Hannah Blundell but I'm not sure why they're not being looked at to fill a position with such dire depth (obviously Blundell is out for the time being). Saka at LB is the worst conversation haha I'm glad Southgate didn't do that

@@ShadowFootballYT oh yeah pattinson is a great shout! i've loved watching her this season. i guess what i'm thinking of is more like crystal dunn for the uswnt. she's always been an attacker for club and has even won the nwsl golden boot before lol--but ended up exclusively playing LB for country. (also, i swear saka ended up at LB during the second half of extra time of the euro quarterfinal--or am i hallucinating lmao)

@@waterthecan I guess Rachel Daly was our version of Crystal Dunn, she was pretty solid at LB too. I just feel like positional changes like that were out of necessity rather than a tactical masterclass. Niamh Charles is the nailed on LB if she's fit but other than her I don't think we have much depth. Saka did end up at LB vs Switzerland but that's only because Southgate tried to gamble for the win then rather than in normal time

City have a lot of good young players right now! Hopefully they get lots of minutes this season

I think so too, originally she was called into the squad a few months ago due to injury cover, but I think Sarina likes what she saw from Moorhouse, and she wants her keepers to be playing. Considering how she likes to hand out new caps to young players, Moorhouse was one I did not see coming should she make her debut this year.

Thank you so much! Took me a while to make this video haha

Thanks so much! Yeah it's not great to deal with but now I know not to use Champions League footage, which sadly rules out any Champions League analysis.
