‘It's a learning curve' – Spurs can learn a lot from challenging campaign says Vilahamn
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Robert Vilahamn says that the club can learn a lot from what has been a challenging season. After finishing the 2023/2024 campaign in sixth place in the Barclays Women's Super League table, Spurs cannot finish higher than ninth this term. A poor second half of the season has contributed to their lower ranking. Advertisement When speaking to the media ahead of the final game of the season at Everton, Spurs boss Vilahamn admitted that there's a lot to learn from the last nine months. 'When you look into this season and the expectations, we were maybe not ready to take the next steps both as an organisation and staffing group and the players,' Vilahamn said. 'The way we play is a difficult way of playing football. It's about bravery; to be good on the ball, you have to build relationships, collaborate to make sure we can win games. Losing a few key players and staff members and taking steps in the way that we want to play has made us lose a few games. 'It's a learning curve where we need to make sure we adapt and compete in games. We also need to take steps now to make sure that next season, we can play our style and be much sharper in our game management and the areas that we need to improve. Advertisement 'You can learn a lot from mistakes and from this season. Together with the first season, we know where we are and what we need to improve on. Definitely, it's a learning curve.' Turning his focus towards latest opponents Everton, Vilahamn highlighted the fact that Spurs want to be competing strongly with the Merseyside club. He said 'Brian [Sørensen] has been there for a few years and they always have a very tactical approach and flexibility within that. He has done some good stuff with that club. They had a lot of injuries last season but it looks like they've invested more since Christmas, so they're looking quite strong. 'They're one of those teams that are in and around us that we want to beat and be better than but right now, they've had a better spring season than us. Advertisement 'They're a club with high potential. It looks like they're going to invest even more for next season, so they're one of those clubs that we want to beat.' Tottenham Hotspur's Barclays Women's Super League fixture at Everton kicks-off at 12.30pm on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal ready to put everything into Manchester United fixture says Slegers
Arsenal head coach Renée Slegers says that her side will put everything into Saturday's Barclays Women's Super League fixture against Manchester United. The Gunners face The Red Devils at the Emirates Stadium on the final day of the 2024/2025 season. Arsenal need a positive result to secure a second-place finish. Advertisement When speaking in the pre-match press conference, Arsenal boss Slegers said that her side have lots of motivation going into the game and that they will give it their all. 'It's very important,' Slegers said. 'Of course, we're going to try and secure second place in the table but there's so much motivation for us tomorrow, coming from different directions. We're going to put everything into that game because from a table perspective, it's very important. 'We'll have so many fans backing us and we want to deliver our best possible product to them. We want to show ourselves at our best again, coming off of last week.' Arsenal have suffered heavy defeats to Aston Villa and Brighton & Hove Albion in their last two games. Slegers feels different about the two performances but admits that The Gunners must do better. Advertisement She said 'They're two different games. I think the first one, you see clearly that we come away from mental, physical and emotional investments and short-term travelling, so we understand where it comes from but then we're still learning how to do better in those moments. The second game is different, I think we created a lot. I think what Brighton did really well was find the right moments in the game to score their goals. I think they're very different [games]. 'Of course, we've been looking at it, what we want to do better and what the big learnings are. We also know that we can get back to our best.' Arsenal are once again set to entertain a huge Emirates Stadium crowd and Slegers says that it is shaping up to be a great occasion. She said 'I don't know how many [tickets] we've sold, between 45,000 and 50,000 I think, so it's going to be amazing. It's always an honour and a privilege to be part of this and get to play a game at the Emirates with so many fans in such a great setting. I think it's going to be beautiful weather tomorrow, so it has all the elements for a fantastic day. We know it's on us to deliver the [best] product that we can.' Arsenal's Barclays Women's Super League fixture against Manchester United kicks-off at 12.30pm on Saturday afternoon. Tickets remain on-sale and can be purchased by clicking here.
