Jeglertz admits Man City ‘not playing their best’ but says players’ determination can secure WSL title

Andree Jeglertz admits his Manchester City side are not playing their best football at the moment – but praised his players’ resilience.

City beat Liverpool 1-0 in the WSL to move a step closer to winning the title thanks to Rebecca Knaak’s 91st minute winner. 

It means a win in their final WSL game against West Ham, or Arsenal dropping points before then, will confirm City as champions.

And Jeglertz says his side’s mental strength is something which gives him plenty of encouragement that they can get the job done.

“There’s something with this group. We never give up,” the City boss said. “We will always work so hard and find a way to win. That determination is there all the time. It’s why we’re here with three points.

“It’s always an opponent doing something a little different than what we expected. We’ve been through that before. They pressed us hard but also overloaded us in a couple of situations.

“We’re working so hard, we have been since July last year. Everything is up to us – we’re not playing the best football we have ever done but that’s how good teams win games anyway.”
