Good analysis (as always). The first 60 minutes or so was the best I've seen Chelsea play against an elite team with the possible exception of the 2021 FA Cup final - too bad it's pre-season and not a UWCL semi-final! The Cuthbert-Fleming combo was excellent and allowed Chelsea to control the tempo of the game. Fleming's defensive nous is highly underrated - when she came off, OL was able to overrun the midfield ... and the rest is history!
Why is no one saying that James is overweight. In the game against Lyon, she was terrible. She is heavy, slow and does not participate in the selection of the ball and pressing. She's only on the team because of her brother, who they want to renew the contract with.

Erin is my favorite player.
