A true joy to watch!

Edit: at least cohesive offensively. They have work to do on defense. Ever since the moved Ertz out of the back line, they have struggled to put together a solid back four. Not that Ertz was the best defender (Sauerbrunn is) but she was one of the smartest players on the team. The 3 besides Sauerbrunn now just aren't up to the task.

2nd Edit: Dalkemper taking over for Sauerbrunn is good now, but the other 4 aren't, especially when Kelly O'Hara is on the wing.
