  • WSL talking points: the Tullis-Joyce furore and Neville?s nightmare return

    Earring-gate prevents Estelle Cascarino from making her West Ham debut while City continue to lead the pack
    The sight of coaches issuing a tactical team talk while their goalkeeper receives medical treatment has become increasingly common in the WSL but it became particularly controversial after the 0-0 draw between Arsenal and Manchester United, especially when the visiting defender Dominique Janssen appeared to admit in an interview with Sky Sports that they had orchestrated it on purpose. Janssen said: ?Phallon [Tullis-Joyce] went down for us to discuss tactical changes?, when asked about how United adapted to going down to 10 players. Marc Skinner later said that Tullis-Joyce had felt something and needed treatment, but Ren?e Slegers said perceived time-wasting was ?frustrating for the players? and added: ?There?s so many people investing so much to come and watch us, in the stadium, on TV. I think the product needs to be attractive and I think this is probably one of the areas that brings the entertainment down a little bit.? Tom Garry
