Gareth Taylor column: Spurs frustration, Mia Enderby fitness and Brighton focus

Gareth Taylor column: Spurs frustration, Mia Enderby fitness and Brighton focus - Liverpool FC
Description

It was another frustrating day for us again at Tottenham because I felt we started well but we couldn't hold on to the lead and ultimately lost the game.

We scored a good goal from Beata Olsson and hopefully that will give her confidence. I wanted to give her a start because I liked the way she trained during the international break when most of the players were away, and I really felt she deserved that opportunity.

See the latest LFC Women ticketing information here

We scored one goal then could have scored one or two others and if they had gone in I really think that could have made the difference.

Both the goals we gave away were really cheap, and I never felt like there was too much between the teams, but we are being punished by our mistakes where we can be better for sure.

It was very frustrating not to get anything from the game, we are getting closer, but I still feel we have got a lot of work to do to improve our levels.

Everybody else is improving in the WSL and we are trying to get there but we've lost some big players from the team, not only from last season, but so far with the two ACL injuries we've picked up.

It really frustrated me that we couldn't have an attacking option on the bench at the weekend, particularly when we were chasing the goal at the end and that could have made a difference.

We have had good news about Mia Enderby and she is going to be OK. We have had all the checks back and she's resumed training. That's a quick recovery, which is good.

On Sunday we are back at home again when we welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to St Helens Stadium.

Our aim is to try to make our home a fortress, but our main priority at this moment in time is to get some points on the board before the Christmas break.

Yes, that's really tough if you look at the games we have coming up. There are no free hits in this league because the levels of all the teams have improved.

Brighton are a good team, there's no doubt about that. Of course, like us they have suffered a big blow recently with an ACL injury to Michelle Agyemang, but they are a dangerous team who I think are a match for anyone on their day.

Again, just to reiterate to our supporters that we are a work in progress. I am really clear about where we are at the moment and where I want us to get to.

I know that looks a long way away at the moment but we certainly need some help and the players need a bit of help with that too.

We are trying our hardest and we are working tremendously. Internally, players and staff are working to their maximum to try to get the necessary encouraging signs that we want.

I thought the support from our fans down at Tottenham was once again exceptional. They are outstanding, they are with us from the start of the game right through to the end of the game.

I know it's really tough at the moment but we are trying to give them what they want and I can assure you we are working really hard. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at St Helens Stadium.

Thank you for your continued support.

YNWA,

Gareth

Liverpool beaten against Tottenham Hotspur in WSL

Liverpool beaten against Tottenham Hotspur in WSL - Liverpool FC
Description

It was a competitive start between the two teams in the capital as the visitors enjoyed the early play.

The Reds in particular were enjoying some freedom down both flanks and it was a darting forward run from Grace Fisk on the left that helped open the scoring.

Liverpool’s captain delivered low into the area in minute 11 and, with Spurs failing to clear, the ball was touched to Beata Olsson, who fired home on the turn for her first goal for the club.

A little over a minute later, Olsson again threatened as she worked goalkeeper Lize Kop down to her right with a driven shot.

However, it was Tottenham who struck next to level up the contest in what was developing into an even encounter.

A short-corner routine proved Liverpool’s undoing with Olivia Holdt eventually lifting a ball across the six-yard box for Toko Koga to tap home.

Ahead of the half-time interval, Drew Spence twice went close, before forcing goalkeeper Faye Kirby into a strong save at her near post with a header.

In response, Olsson and Mia Enderby both worked Kop in the Spurs net, though neither team were able to add to the scoreline.

The game restarted after the interval in similar fashion to the first, with much of the play coming in midfield.

Tottenham, though, produced a clever move to edge in front in the 52nd minute via Bethany England.

A pass over the top down the left found the run of Amanda Nilden and her first-time low ball allowed the striker to cushion a shot into the net.

Liverpool attempted a response almost instantly through Enderby but she was only able to drag her shot wide of the post after good play from Cornelia Kapocs and Ceri Holland.

The hosts applied pressure on the Reds in the closing stages, forcing Fisk into two well-timed challenges to keep them at bay.

In their search for a leveller, substitute Sofie Lundgaard saw a prodded effort blocked from close range after a clever run and cross from Holland on the right.

However, following a lengthy delay in added time due to an injury to Enderby, Kapocs went closest in Liverpool’s quest for a point, though her effort flew over the bar from inside the area with Gareth Taylor’s side beaten.

Team

Liverpool: Kirby, Shimizu, Fisk, Evans, Woodham (Clark, 62), Nagano, Kerr (Lundgaard, 78), Kapocs, Holland (Maclean, 87), Olsson, Enderby (Silcock, 90+14).

Unused subs: Laws, Borggrafe, Szymczak.

Next up

The Reds return to action next Sunday (November 9) when they host Brighton & Hove Albion in the WSL.

Kick-off is set for 12pm GMT at St Helens Stadium - and supporters can buy tickets here.

Gareth Taylor match reaction: Tottenham defeat and Mia Enderby latest - Liverpool FC

The Reds were beaten at Brisbane Road in Barclays Women’s Super League action despite going ahead via Beata Olsson's first goal for the club.

Strikes from Toko Koga and Bethany England sealed a comeback victory for Spurs as they secured the spoils in the capital.

Match report: LFC Women beaten at Tottenham Hotspur in WSL

Read LFC Women head coach Taylor's post-match reaction below…

On Mia Enderby's injury after she was stretchered off following a fall in added time...

It's not nice to see. Obviously [she was] stretchered off and I've not had an opportunity to speak to the medical department. I think she has gone to hospital but hopefully she is OK. At one point I thought she was going to re-enter in terms of getting back up and start to play again but with those types of injuries it's really crucial we take care of them.

On the result and performance...

I thought we started the game OK. We scored a good goal. I don't think either team were playing at their best. We certainly could've exploited a bit more when we had those moments particularly at 1-0. But then we give away a really bad goal from a set play when Lily [Woodham] is off the pitch at that time which is frustrating.

We just need to be tougher in those moments to see it out. It was just a little bit naive particularly from that set play and then you give a team like Tottenham, who have got good options to come from the sidelines as well, an opportunity to get a foothold in the game.

On trying to keep the confidence high in the group with recent results...

It's really tough. We all need support at the club because we've had a lot that's obviously happened both on and off the pitch. On the pitch we're not getting the necessary results that we want. Of course, we don't expect to be top of the league, we're realistic and we know we're at the start of a really, really long project. But, of course, you want to see some positive moments and I think we've seen glimpses. It's just we're not able to sustain it for long enough in a game of 90 minutes.

On Beata Olsson scoring her first goal for the club...

I was pleased. We had her in training during the international break, which was great, so we did a lot of good work with her and saw a lot of progressions. When the team came back together on Friday after the break I really liked her performances and her attitude. Her endeavour has been first class. Hopefully that gives her confidence today.

On a struggle for options in his squad with recent injuries...

We didn't have anything from the sidelines today unfortunately. It's not ideal when you have to play a 21-year-old Hannah Silcock up on the right side. We just have to battle through it. The message is clear. We're working so hard as staff, players and everyone at the club to turn this into a better situation. But it takes a bit of time and a bit of support. Unfortunately, as we've seen at the moment, we're getting knocked a bit - but we'll keep fighting.

Why Cornelia Kapocs is relishing a return to Spurs with LFC Women

Why Cornelia Kapocs is relishing a return to Spurs with LFC Women - Liverpool FC
Description

Gareth Taylor's side are back after the international break and pick up the season with a Barclays Women's Super League clash against Spurs at Brisbane Road.

That is the venue where the Reds won 3-2 last season in dramatic fashion, with Kapocs opening her account for the club with a stunning lob from distance.

"That was a nice goal and a nice moment for me and it gave me a good feeling," the No.7 told Liverpoolfc.com at the AXA Training Centre. "So hopefully we can do well again on Sunday."

In terms of the 2025-26 campaign, Kapocs has been on the scoresheet twice thus far.

Both of her goals came at Anfield, where she produced a brilliant opener against Everton and then headed past Manchester City last time out in the WSL.

"It's just something special to play at Anfield and it was nice to score a couple of goals in front of our supporters," the 25-year-old said.

"As a player I like to get in the box and shoot for goal, so it was nice to see those go in at Anfield."

Liverpool entered the break on the back of a 2-1 victory away at Durham in the group stage of the Subway Women's League Cup.

Kapocs is hoping the confidence gained from that win can be taken into Sunday's affair as the Reds search for their first points in the top flight.

She said: "I think that was a really important win for us as a group. Everybody knows that we want to start winning and take points, so that's the main focus for us now in the WSL.

"It was important for us to get that winning feeling against Durham before the international break, and also before that against Manchester City I thought we played OK in that game.

"I think we are getting closer and closer and we have a good feeling. We need to keep working hard and try to get some points at Tottenham."

WSL: 11 stats to know ahead of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool - Liverpool FC
Description

The Reds resume their campaign by travelling to Brisbane Road for a 12pm GMT kick-off on Sunday.

See 11 interesting facts and figures provided by Opta ahead of the game below...

Liverpool are unbeaten in their past two trips to Spurs, drawing 1-1 in 2023-24 and winning 3-2 last season.

Overall, the Reds are unbeaten in each of their last five WSL games against Tottenham (two wins, three draws), since a 1-0 away defeat in October 2022.

Tottenham lost each of their final five home matches in the division last season, but have won two out of three so far this term.

Ceri Holland assisted Cornelia Kapocs for Liverpool's goal against Manchester City on matchday six – it was her eighth in the WSL for the club overall. Only Alex Greenwood and Natasha Dowie have recorded more assists for the Reds in the competition (10 each).

Gareth Taylor's side have hit the woodwork three times this season - only Brighton & Hove Albion have done so more (four).

Spurs have the best big chance conversion rate in the WSL in 2025-26 with 50 per cent.

They have also recorded the highest figure for duels won per match: 50.5.

Only Manchester City's Khadija Shaw has attempted more shots than Tottenham's Cathinka Tandberg this season.

Liverpool defender Jenna Clark has tallied the third-highest average number of passes per 90 minutes in the WSL (77).

Clark is also joint-third for the average touches per 90 minutes on 90.

Spurs are one of just two sides to name the same starting centre-backs in each of their WSL games this season (also Aston Villa), with Clare Hunt and Toko Koga playing every minute of their league matches this term. No centre-back partnerships have earned more clean sheets than the duo in 2025-26 (three).
