A complete game from Gotham and a sample of what this team is capable of. Here's what I took away from that dominant performance.
Next level Midge Purce. Midge took being left of the Olympic squad personally and took it out on OL Reign. Midge was running around and sometimes through players like a video game with a speed boost cheat code. She was on another level. I'm bringing a huge tub of popcorn wherever I watch Gotham for the rest of the season. Midge is on a mission.
The second thing we learned is Cudjo is more than a 6 or double pivot 8. This game Jennifer was playing more as a 10 along side Zerboni. She looked comfortable going forward. Although Jennifer's shooting acumen leaves something to be desired she showed another side of her game we haven't seen.
We also learned that Gotham will not be hampered by missing star players like other teams will. Gotham is deep at every position and will be able to fill all those holes efficiently. Didi is a capable keeper. Getting a shut out last time out. Onumonu will be an adequate replacement for Lloyd and Viens up top. And Gaëtane Thiney will be up and running soon.
Lastly, we learned that if Gotham can score goals there is nothing this team can't accomplish. This defense has been bailing this team out all season. Keeping Gotham in games they probably shouldn't have been. Gotham still only had 17 shots on goal and that has to change. Defence doesn't win championships alone. But if we see this type of performance from Gotham from here on out this could be their year.
