Liverpool FC — Matt Beard on West Ham clash, goals, fitness update and more

On scoring seven objectives within the final three video games being a step in the correct path…

Definitely. Shanice van de Sanden is again match and she or he clearly provides us one other dimension going ahead, particularly together with her tempo. Melissa Lawley’s type has been completely improbable. When we give her the ball she is creating probabilities for us and I feel she is taking part in her greatest soccer for a very long time. We’ve been actually happy with how she has kicked on final season and she or he has even improved this season as properly. That could have one thing to do with our type, for certain.

I do know Katie Stengel can rating objectives. She is without doubt one of the greatest finishers I’ve ever labored with in girls’s soccer. When she was with me at Boston Breakers I noticed first-hand how she will be able to end, all various kinds of finishes, not simply tap-ins. We even have Yana Daniels, who has been excellent for us as properly and it’s nice for me to see us firing and in addition a fantastic choice headache for me.

On the 5-0 pre-season win away at West Ham and whether or not that offers him confidence forward of Sunday’s recreation…

It was a very good win for us however West Ham had quite a lot of gamers lacking that day. They have been with out Lisa Evans and some gamers additionally out and so they have had a little bit of a turnaround in personnel since then as properly. Paul Konchesky has performed a improbable job since he took over in the summertime. It’s his first job as a supervisor and if I have a look at their performances they’ve performed very well. This will likely be a tricky recreation for us on Sunday.

On whether or not he feels his crew is beginning to settle now into top-flight soccer once more…

I feel we now have at all times had a grip on it. We didn’t get to play Reading within the first recreation with it being postponed after which we performed 5 groups who all completed in that prime 5, prime six final season. It was at all times a tricky begin for us and we did OK. I feel the largest distinction on this division is in the event you don’t take your probabilities and the opposition do then you’ll get punished. That has most likely been our greatest studying curve.

I feel we now have been aggressive within the video games. We have created however we’ve simply not taken the possibilities, however I do assume in the previous few weeks we now have began to do this. That will give everybody confidence. I’m happy with the place we’re. We have gotten two massive league video games developing, each at dwelling. We’ve bought to maintain creating probabilities and if we hold doing that then I’m assured we’ll win soccer matches.
