“It wasn’t a great game, we have to acknowledge that,” she told media.
“In the last game there were some things that weren’t present in the last two games.”
“We didn’t look defensively solid like we do. We just allowed way too much for them going forwards. We didn’t face anything that we didn’t prepare for.”
She has a clear plan to move the team forwards.
“We’ve really looked internal between the last game and this game.
“When you think about leadership, sometimes it’s looking in the mirror.
“We’ve done some deep digging in terms of who we want to be, what we want to represent.
“That’s what we spent our time doing the last couple of days, it’s very much been about us.”
There is good news, American striker Makala Woods potentially fit for this match after suffering an ankle injury against the Glory.
“Makala had a scan, she’s all clear from that perspective.
“Now it’s just how she responds on the pitch. We got her integrated into some work yesterday.
“It’s going to be touch and go in terms of how she comes out. The actual ankle itself structurally, it’s all good.”
The Phoenix won the last time they played 2-0
