Analysis: Kelly too talented to be a player of the band
Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:
The curious case of Chloe Kelly. The English Final Savior Euro 2022, and so often in recent years, the winner of the match for Manchester City. But something went wrong this season and writing has been on the wall for a while.
Gareth Taylor was tested about Kelly’s shortest minimacy – only 165 in WSL – on several occasions and remained Coy, while he decided not to add fuel to a fire -speculation fire. The latter was fair enough, but the manager never addressed why Kelly didn’t play.
This is a wing player who has formed one -third of the most terrifying trio in the last term of WSL – along with Bunny Shaw and Lauren Hemp – scoring and helping in fun because City has set a serious challenge for the title. Kelly recorded 10 contributions from goal and created a 51 chance, the second best creative threat behind Katie Green Manchester United.
It is clear that her relationship with Taylor has achieved a downtime, but Kelly has so much to offer and desperately wants to prove that Sarina Wiegman is worth it before the head of England has chosen his team for this summer euros.
At the age of 27, she only enters her top years, not outside them.
