Hayes' philosophy is already laying the groundwork for success
WEMBLEY – The Camden accent was not out of place but plenty else about Emma Hayes’ homecoming had the potential to unsettle. As they held the USA to a stalemate they will look back on this as a much improved defensive display but one which did not solve looming questions over their creativity.
Yet missing Sophia Smith and experimenting with a host of youngsters, there was little sign of the tepidness which at times plagued England in front of an improved crowd of 78,346. The major plus for the Lionesses was a rare clean sheet and a showing of resilience. Mary Earps and Lucy Bronze impressed, the latter tested in a series of 1v1s with Thompson.due to a combination of a hip injury and form, thwarted Thompson and Casey Krueger from close range and was England’s player of the match.other remaining conundrum is how her side, used to having so much more of the ball, should cater for this calibre of opponent.
