Look the reality is the coaches haven't had the gravitas or standing to permanently take Sinclair out of the lineup since Parsons left, and the GM is her old friend and teammate. RW did towards the end of last season, maybe Norris will too. But she's going to play a majority of minutes until the World Cup. It sucks but it is what it is.
She really can't just jog around when she is playing a central forward role. I was like RUN, what are you doing?!! YOU have to be the one to make those runs. I was so frustrated with her all night. I'd almost rather have Betfort at CF than Sinc....and I don't say that lightly lol.
Lol, at least she runs!! Did Sinc even touch the ball for 45 minutes? She did lose the ball a few times, if that counts. If she has to play a central F role, she would be better with her back to goal, play-making for the wingers to run onto balls. But, that requires us playing through the middle a lot more (or, completing a damn pass!)
Dunn did rotate up as the first half went on....but then you have Dunn/Sinc rotating high and leaving massive spaces in the midfield leaving Rocky and Sam to cover too much space.
Yeah, I've heard Canadian media discuss how Sinc is likely going to be tasked with the 9 role....the cynic in me says that's why she's playing so much. If Smith was truly tired from her travel and could only play 30 minutes, WHY NOT D'Aquila?! It's insane to me. That's why we got a rookie 9! Putting Sinc there is unserious behavior.
THE SINCLAIR MINUTES WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES

Oh captain, my captain.
Would be interested how many kilometers she's accumulated this season vs. the rest of the squad.

No nonoooo Betfort is a step too far. It should have been Dunn at the 9 (she did rotate into the 9 pretty frequently anyhow) with Sinc behind her.
(Preferably Moultrie with Dunn or Izzy at the 9 with no Sinc, but, well....ya know)

I would really like to see Moultrie more.
More Liv for sure. Playmaker!
That pass was Kevin De Bruyne-esque! Truly beautiful vision and execution from her, and Weaver for the final execution.
I can't wait to watch that more during the WC window...!
At this point i'm resigned to think PTFC is going to keep giving her as many minutes as she wants to help her showcase for the CWNT.
Would of love to see Izzy start yesterday. Her next to Morgan and Hina would of helped create so much havoc in front of goal and chances.

god bless if that's the case. do they have no one else to play upfront? Lacass├й? Huitema?
