N17 Women
Super Mana
Season 1, Ep. 25
•
It was a double cup game week for Spurs Women, with mixed results. Spurs were knocked out of the Conti Cup by Chelsea but advanced to the next round of the FA Cup with a decisive victory over London City Lionesses. We got together to discuss the highs and lows of both games, including:
• Mana Iwabuchi's immediate impact
• A rare appearance of the back-3
• Eveliina the super sub
• Nikola's development
and more!
Plus, we do a quick recap of the transfer window and answer a couple of listener questions that we didn't get to last month: Rehanne in or out, and whose contracts should be renewed?
