The Shape of the Squad – WSL Quality in the Team

  • Three Keepers. Who wins the initial keeper battle between Rachael Laws, Rylee Foster and Katie Startup and starts in the league?
  • The back line takes shape as Meikayla Moore, Niamh Fahey will start at centre back, plus a new addition – Jasmine Matthews comes in from Bristol. Wardlaw, Hinds and Campbell for will look to start in the full back position with perhaps Rhiannon Roberts as another right back option for the reds.
  • What will be the shape of the midfield? Rhiannon Roberts, Jade Bailey and Carla Humphrey are more defensively minded. Missy Bo Kearns and Rachel Furness may perhaps be utilized as more box to box midfielders.
  • Rianna Dean scored 14 goals in 19 games three seasons ago – how likely is she repeat that kind of production for Liverpool?
