[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Lynn Williams.  She blows past defenders but needs to finish once she does.  She had a breakaway today and somehow managed not to get a shot off.  Works hard off the ball, too.

In other news, Crystal Dunn stole Mayor Lori Lightfoot's hairdo.[/quote]

Speed is the only reason why Williams is on the team. You can tell she relied on speed completely throughout her youth and never spent time developing her skills. [/quote]

Her speed is incredible and it’s what’s gotten her the accolades in the NWSL.  Her speed and drive help her create so many chances that it doesn’t matter so much that her on-frame shots are at a woefully low percentage.  That matters far more once the level steps up in international play and you get fewer shots.  The US players who are doing well are the ones who have the technical skills in addition to the speed and physicality. Horan, Dunn, Press, and Lavelle were standouts so far.  Lloyd and Rapinoe not so much. Morgan was getting mugged. And I thought Ertz wasn’t as on this past week as she’s been in the past. [/quote]

Agreed. Williams is fast but not while dribbling compared to Press, Lavell, & Dunn. It seems Morgan got some of her speed back and definitely a lot more aggressive compared to the Canada game.  It should help once S. Mewis and T. Heath comes back. Aside from a few of the USWNT players that played in Europe, most of these players haven’t played much due to COVID. [/quote]
