#it's really hard to find 23 different ways of describing ppl seriously

[claireraffertys]

hey! would u mind giving a quick rundown/intro to the engwnt roster? thanks :)

i’ll answer seriously this time lol

GOALKEEPERSKaren Bardsley - Makes world class saves. Good punch on the ball when a cross comes into the penalty box. Could work on catching and not missing the ball when a Belgian is a metre away but overall very confident with her in net.

Siobhan Chamberlain - Has had to play back up for a long time but is a solid keeper and a good shot-stopper.

Carly Telford - Haven’t actually seen much of her so not really got much to say but she made some incredible saves in last seasons wsl

DEFENDERSSteph Houghton - Brilliant leader and CB. Stays calm in pressured situations (like goal line clearances). Good in the air and at free kicks too.

Casey Stoney - Very experienced CB with excellent vision of the game. I think other players feel very comfortable with her on the pitch.

Laura Bassett - A CB who plays with no fear. Solid at the back (except that one time lol)

Millie Bright - Absolute tank of a CB/CDM. Produces crunching, well timed tackles and pops up with a headed goal on occasions.

Jo Potter - Good passer of the ball. A versatile player between MF and DF.

Lucy Bronze - Just an incredible RB. Can perform in all areas of the pitch. Bombs down the right to provide options in attack and scores some wonder goals. Absolutely key to the team.

Demi Stokes - Very fast LB who also is good at getting forward and helping put balls in the box.

Alex Scott - Might not play as much these days but when she does she offers speed and experience.

Alex Greenwood - Wonder of a left foot which takes very good set pieces. Good amount of aggression to push opponents off the ball (henlo shoulder barge)

MIDFIELDERSJade Moore- Another tank in midfield who will not pull out of a tackle no matter the risk.

Fara Williams - Cool, calm and collected, especially from the penalty spot. Very experienced with an incredible passing range.

Jordan Nobbs - The engine of the team. Her energy never lets up and so she constantly bosses the middle of the pitch. Also a wonderful striker of the ball. Future captain.

Jill Scott - 86th minute tap in merchant. Obviously very good when it comes to heading.

Izzy Christiansen - Very energetic player who makes good runs off the ball. Finds space where many wouldn’t.

Karen Carney - Tricky player who can often make something from a seemingly impossible position. Work rate is second to none.

FORWARDSFran Kirby - Clever player who makes clever runs and scores clever goals.

Nikita Parris - FAST. Makes nifty runs down the wings and provides many assists.

Ellen White - Never second to the ball. Gets herself into great positions to get shots away and does not miss very often. Top rate fitness levels too.

Toni Duggan - Likes to go through periods of time where she cannot stop scoring screamers.Very talented but just needs to improve her shooting under pressure.

Jodie Taylor- Incredible work rate, a player that doesn’t stop until the final whistle. Very clinical in front of goal.
