Best player? Favourite to win WSL? Emma Sanders Q&A

Fans and players have a chance to reflect on the season so far as the Women’s Super League and European football take a break.

We asked Reddit users who don’t follow BBC Sport’s women’s football news reporter Emma Sanders for questions about all things women’s football in the absence of any actual match.

It’s a great idea, in my opinion, and long overdue. It will increase competition among other teams and enable them to play more games, which players need to do to prevent under-loading.

In the past, teams that were knocked out of the cup had only two or three games to play once per month. On the other hand, Champions League clubs typically only play three games per week, which lessens the load on players who are already playing too much.

Hello ! Although it seems obvious to ask, we still need managers to comment on it so that we can write follow-up pieces.

We’d really struggle to write a piece about the Champions League match between Arsenal and Barcelona if we hadn’t questioned Renee Slegers about how significant that was. Her saying, “This was the greatest night of my life,” for instance, helps a wider BBC audience understand how significant the game was, why Arsenal’s victory over Barcelona didn’t occur daily, and how much the victory has impacted the organization.

We still need them to say it despite knowing what we will receive.

Yes, I do. They have done a fantastic job this season, and it appears they are thoroughly enjoying it. They arguably had the best squad in a while, but they haven’t won the title since.

Andree Jeglertz appears to have encouraged their game’s creativity and self-assurance.

Probably two teams exist. Under Andree Jeglertz, Manchester City have expanded significantly faster than I anticipated. Since taking over in the summer, he has done a fantastic job, and in my opinion, they have been by far the best team in the league.

Hello and a quick answer for the question. Finding out information and/or holding clubs and their representatives to account is a journalist’s top priority. I make an effort to approach someone with empathy when I forget there is a person at the table behind it. When you treat them with respect and receive it in return, it’s simpler.

To facilitate these situations, we make efforts to establish relationships with players, staff, and clubs. Giving them the right to respond or to explain their ideas helps fans understand the decisions made, not trying to make them feel inferior.

Press officers will always try to minimize it, but some have tried in the past to try to stop them from doing their jobs!

It’s interesting, isn’t it, I guess.

Hello. I appreciate your question. Although it always seems more competitive each season, I believe there is still a clear, consistent gap between the top four and the rest.
