On new manager @garethtaylor_73: “He's been amazing. He's been awesome. He presents so many different challenges for us to get better, and for me personally to get better. So I'm definitely learning a lot. And I'm excited to continue to work with him...
... He's gotten the team so far, in a really good place for the league and in the running for the title. So, you know, it's definitely credit to the girls, but also credit to Gaz and the other coaching staff as well.”
On whether she gave @sammymewy the Tower of Power nickname: “I don't know if I was the original founder of Tower of Power but I definitely helped, you know, spread the word.” Do they have a nickname for you? “Yes, but I would not like it written!”
On new defensive partner @stephhoughton2: “Steph's been amazing off the field and on the field. She's obviously a top top centre back, one of the best in the world, and I rate her so highly and I love playing alongside her. I obviously hope that I can continue that...
... I think her ability to play-make out of the back, her leadership, her defensive qualities, she has everything, and that's why she's one of the best. I've also been fortunate enough to have been able to play with Abby Erceg back in North Carolina, and also...
... Becky Sauerbrunn. So, honestly, I feel like I really lucked out in in the partnership department. Having Alex Greenwood on the left of me is definitely helpful, too. She's an amazing player and person as well.”
Did anyone in the team particular stand out? “Honestly, the whole team is so good and so technical. It's one thing watching them, but also being able to practice and see the girls and what they do and how Gaz wants them to play has just been amazing and I have so much respect...
... for all my teammates. I'm like, amazed by everyone. Chloe Kelly's been having an amazing season thus far, she's definitely a young and exciting player. I think Lauren Hemp as well. I could literally go through the whole team and be like, they're amazing...
... Caz, Caroline Weir, Keira Walsh, Ellen White just became the top goal scorer in the league and that's such an amazing achievement. Lucy Bronze won best player in the world. So just top to bottom the the team is just so good and everyone brings what they have to the table...
... and you're only going to get better in this environment and that's really exciting. We just all try and like push each other and it's been so awesome.”
