Extra Time with GirlsontheBall Super Sub | Aoife Mannion

[@EdmondDantesTyler]

Sophie & Rachel thank you so much for such a fantastic interview with one of the best defenders in the WSL. Aoife Mannion - I have been a huge fan of Aoife since seeing her outstanding performances when playing for Birmingham and this interview has made me an even bigger fan. As someone who is half Italian I would say Aoife is the nearest to an Italian style defender in the WSL. Such intelligence, anticipation and a natural defender. Utd have massively missed her this season. Le Tissier and Turner are lucky to have such a player to play with and learn from. I was devastated for her and Ireland that she missed the World Cup. Such a great performance against Chelsea ( OK Carter being wrestled to the floor in the penalty box was missed by everyone including commentators and the ref, but then a lot was missed by the officials!) Is it just me who thinks that Aoife would make a fantastic defensive coach or even a manager when she eventually retires in the future. So eloquent, inciteful and intelligent in this interview. Any team would be lucky to have her. Ireland are a better defensive unit with her playing. Good luck to Aoife in the FA Cup and Euro Qualifying as she deserves it and those of us who love the art of defending want to see her fit and playing and doing what she does best. ALSO is that a Ghostbusters car on the sideboard behind Aoife?!! When you wanna stop a goal who you gonna call? Aoife Mannion!!!

Hello Sophie and Rachel. That really got into the mindset of how it would be to be involved as a player. Such a great chat. I never understand why you seem to have less views than I would expect, when I am watching on KZbin.
