Manchester City Women's manager Gareth Taylor has thrown his support behind Liverpool Women, insisting they will bounce back from their challenging start to the Women's Super League (WSL) season.
Despite suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in their opening match, Taylor believes Liverpool have the quality and determination to turn their fortunes around. "They're a strong side with a lot of potential," he said ahead of their upcoming clash.
Taylor's Confidence in Liverpool
The City boss highlighted Liverpool's resilience and tactical adaptability, pointing to their previous performances as evidence of their capability. "They've shown they can compete at this level, and I expect them to be a tough opponent," Taylor remarked.
A Rocky Start for the Reds
Liverpool's return to the WSL has been far from smooth, with their opening-day thrashing by Arsenal raising eyebrows. However, Taylor dismissed concerns over their form, suggesting that early setbacks can often galvanise a team. "Sometimes a tough result early on can sharpen focus—I wouldn't count them out."
Key Battles Ahead
With Manchester City looking to maintain their own momentum, Taylor acknowledged the importance of every match in the tightly contested WSL. "Every game is crucial, and we know Liverpool will be up for it."
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on whether Liverpool can prove Taylor right and climb the table.
