SophieGUEST
It slays me that...
SophieGUEST
Girma's brilliant.
SophieGUEST
Yeah, she's rusty.
SophieGUEST
And maybe they don't want to play her twice a week at the moment.
12 MINS LATER
SophieGUEST
But, yeah, it's...
SophieGUEST
I don't know if there's a training element.
SophieGUEST
I mean, the interesting thing for me is if Girma goes back to the States and then comes back injured again, because I think there's something in the pitch differences between the States and Europe.
SophieGUEST
And I just wonder if that's why some of these players are getting injured when they go away with international, especially the American players and coming back.
Cristina AlexanderHOST
Yeah, now adapting to a life after Lindsey Heaps, at least at the club level.
Cristina AlexanderHOST
How about the Chelsea girls, Ali? Alyssa Thompson played 90 minutes in this draw against Aston Villa, and Naomi Girma did not play.
Cristina AlexanderHOST
An unused sub- substitute, though.
Ali KriegerPANELIST
Yes.
MarcHOST
Yeah, true.
MarcHOST
Girma played in the Champions League qualifiers.
MarcHOST
Yeah.
MarcHOST
Khadija Buchanan played in the Champions League qualifiers.
Anna HarringtonHOST
I think she's going to be fantastic.
Anna HarringtonHOST
She seems like she really enjoys playing with Thompson, playing with Girma, like this new wave of talent that's really starting to make Chelsea their own.
Anna HarringtonHOST
I think that's super exciting.
Anna HarringtonHOST
You look at it, Lauren James is still only 24.
MarcHOST
Anyo Marín, she scored a wonder goal off a corner.
MarcHOST
Chelsea equalized through Girma.
MarcHOST
It was a delivery from Katie McCabe.
MarcHOST
Girma was at the near, but she was credited with the goal.
MarcHOST
It looked like it was like a glancing touch.
MarcHOST
Yeah.
MarcHOST
Kind of a weird sequence.
MarcHOST
You know, the ball's played up to half field to midfield.
Claire WatkinsHOST
Coffey appears fully fit after getting cleanup surgery in the offseason.
Claire WatkinsHOST
Girma looked good in Chelsea's Champions League qualifying match earlier this month, but she's had some soft tissue issues off and on.
Claire WatkinsHOST
People have noticed she's sometimes in with the U.S., she's sometimes out with the U.S. just because of fitness.
Claire WatkinsHOST
Thompson hopefully feels good going into this fall after hitting kind of that NWSL to WSL transfer calendar, physical wall late last year, where she had to do summer schedule into fall to spring schedule, which is really, really difficult.
Claire WatkinsHOST
She's going to be facing more mid and low block defensive tactics in the WSL versus kind of that amount of transition space allowed in the NWSL, which can sometimes be deceptive, especially once you make that leap to the international level.
Claire WatkinsHOST
You want to see, again, sort of that diversity in different defensive tactics and what you're going to see as an attacker.
Claire WatkinsHOST
Girma, I just want her to stay healthy without having to try to hold the whole defense together.
Claire WatkinsHOST
I would like to hope that Chelsea defensively might be a little bit sturdier this year, just so Gurma doesn't feel like she has to cover quite so much space just to keep her fit and healthy.
Dino DeCespedesHOST
What a
Grant EngleHOST
crazy pass by Girma, though.
Grant EngleHOST
Insane pass by Girma.
Grant EngleHOST
Yeah,
Dino DeCespedesHOST
yes.
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
I think there's a lot of things, you know, Chelsea, I think really struggled with injuries last year.
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
You know, if Girma and Berman can stay fit together, that's a really big boost in terms of having a centre-back partnership who can actually regularly play together.
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
I think it's a classic question how, you know, if it's Leah for Arsenal, Bonnie for City, it's LJ for Chelsea.
Jessy Parker HumphreysGUEST
You know, if she stays fit for the entire season, I just totally think it transforms what Chelsea are able to do.
MikeHOST
...
MikeHOST
I cannot see where people are getting this supposed touch from Girma.
MikeHOST
UEFA saw it, no one else did.
MikeHOST
I've watched it back.
TaraHOST
Um, Chelsea kicked off their season this week, uh, this past Wednesday, with Champions League qualification.
TaraHOST
Alyssa Thompson and Naomi Girma both started this game.
TaraHOST
Uh, Girma scored, but this isn't about Naomi.
TaraHOST
This is about Alyssa.
