Roberto RevillaHOST
But her afternoon ended before the final whistle.
Roberto RevillaHOST
A challenge from Chelsea's Drew Spence left Kim with a fractured fibula only a few months after completing her ACL recovery.
Roberto RevillaHOST
There's a particular cruelty in that timing.
Roberto RevillaHOST
Arsenal kept winning without her, extending their perfect start to nine league matches before Jordan Nobbs also ruptured her ACL in November.
Caroline StefkoHOST
we saw an unchanged lineup from the first game of the season and still no Alice Sombath on the bench.
Caroline StefkoHOST
So for a reminder of that starting 11, we had Lisa Koppen goal, Julie Blackstead, Amanda Nilden, Toko Koga, and Caitlin Dykstra in the back line, Drew Spence, Evelina Simonen in the midfield, Matilda Vindbergh, Serena Gobset, and Kirstie Hansen, and then Katinka Tanberg as the striker.
Caroline StefkoHOST
So were you guys happy to see the same lineup? And how concerned are we about Alice still being out?
Sian WallisHOST
I mean, I think it has all the interesting things, obviously, that it had the week before.
Abbie RoseHOST
This allowed Caitlin to play a sort of more reserved role while Julie pushed up and held with, a classic Martin bit we've seen quite a lot by now I think.
Abbie RoseHOST
Evelina Summanen and Captain Drew Spence got the start in midfield with Signe Gøbsøtt ahead of them.
Abbie RoseHOST
Interestingly, that meant no Olivia Holt in the starting lineup, although she was on the bench.
Abbie RoseHOST
Matilda Wimberg played on the left wing, typically coming inside and working with Julie as she pushed up.
Matt CloughHOST
Yeah, I thought, you know, Ueki looked busy, but yeah, there's so much quality in that team.
Matt CloughHOST
You know, it's a little bit funny that Drew Spence is still starting because I know Spurs fans were ready to move on from her about five years ago, but she had a really good game.
Matt CloughHOST
I thought Dykstra had a really good debut.
Matt CloughHOST
Nilden, Blackstad was getting up and down.
ToddHOST
And for someone with daughters, like being able to share this type of thing with my youngest, who's a fanatic and loves playing soccer, it matters.
ToddHOST
It matters because for the history, for the rest of their lives, Drew Spence can point at that number and say, that was mine at this club.
ToddHOST
And, you know, remember Ash Neville, right? Like, it doesn't matter how far back it goes.
ToddHOST
There are women that are long into their 50s at this stage of the game.
Rachel O'SullivanHOST
Toka Koga was unreal.
Rachel O'SullivanHOST
You know, Drew Spence is their new captain as well.
Rachel O'SullivanHOST
They've got some real experience in midfield.
Rachel O'SullivanHOST
And I just think up front with, you know, some of the players that were Olivia Holt, Signe Gopset, Victoria Palova, you add them in, Katinka Tamberg, Olivia Holt, some of the goals that she scored, you know, the
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
I know some Spurs fans I feel like have been a bit sad to see...
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
England and Bartrip go in terms of like very experienced players but I think it's interesting that Ho named Drew Spence as club captain so I think there is still a nod there to like that more experienced player who spent a long time at the club at this point so yeah I feel more more positive about Spurs generally
Flo Lloyd-HughesHOST
Yeah, I think I like the summer business that they've done.
Flo Lloyd-HughesHOST
I want to see Pullover back to her best.
Thom BombHOST
They just did such good business this, this transfer window, and they really kind of have over the last three transfer windows, which is kind of amazing.
Thom BombHOST
Um, their biggest constant is, uh, gonna be in the middle, Drew Spence, Jamaica International, longest tenured, uh, player at the club at this point, um, which is kind of wild to think about.
Thom BombHOST
Um, she just kind of...
Thom BombHOST
She's gonna do exciting things, like, and by exciting, I mean she can either s- you know, drop a beautiful through ball into an onrun, coming runner, or she can take a really silly red card.
ToddHOST
Almost like that.
Andrew StetkaHOST
On the women's side of things, though, it is Drew Spence, who we talked about last week.
Andrew StetkaHOST
She is the captain, the newly named captain of Spurs Women, which I really like.
Andrew StetkaHOST
And similar to the men's side, there are others in this leadership group, which the club is...
Andrew StetkaHOST
The club is actually calling it a performance group, which I don't understand quite the difference in the nomenclature there, but to each their own.
Andrew StetkaHOST
But that group includes Jessica Naz, Evelina Sumanen, Toko Koga, Julie Blackstead, and Caitlin Dykstra.
Andrew StetkaHOST
So kind of a similar setup with... one main captain, and then, you know, everyone else who kind of falls on the depth chart there as well, which I think is important as well on the women's side, because I don't know that we're going to see Drew Spence playing every single minute for Spurs.
Andrew StetkaHOST
We're probably going to see some rotation there as well, especially because...
