Love to see players (esp defenders) with that ball hunger. Her timing for tackles and interceptions has been pretty great also. Better than half our defenders already (if not most) I'd say. I've been super pleased with how fast she's been improving game to game.

This weekend I'd like to see Weaver and Vasconcelos on the wings, with D'Aquila in the 9. Gotta give her a chance in her predominant position before I rule out that she's been just "meh." She hasn't been given the minutes there (or at all really) all season, so she's likely to be behind in development. She doesn't really look like a winger to me, either.
If we put Izzy at the 9 we must commit to crossing the ball in the air, something the team has been loathe to do. Understandably with the twin towers of Dunn and SS9 as "targets". So now we're asking Norris to adjust tactics to better suit the players he actually has available. Which means it ain't gonna happen.
As to Betfort, maybe she revives her career by becoming a CB, perhaps starting as soon as Saturday?
Yeah, 100%. The only judgement I’m comfortable making on her right now is she just is not a winger. She doesn’t have the touch, close control or pace to play out wide. She’s a center forward. Let’s see her there with Weaver wide.
Absolutely. If Betfort gets another start I don't know what to think. Giving her 15-20 minutes at the end of a game is the best approach, where she can use her energy to cause some havoc.

Would be shocked if Izzy is not starting against KCC and Gotham at the 9.
