Gareth Taylor Reacts to Liverpool Women Draw with Spurs

St Helens, England - September 13: Liverpool Women's manager Gareth Taylor spoke to his players after their Barclays Women's Super League 2026/27 match against Tottenham Hotspur at BrewDog Stadium. The match took place on September 13, 2026. Heading into the 2026-27 season, Liverpool Women had been expecting to perform well, with four points as a reasonable target.

A 4-0 victory over newly-promoted Charlton may have exceeded expectations slightly, but following a 1-1 draw with Tottenham in week two, the team is still making progress if their aim is to climb back into mid-table. Taylor believes they deserved more than the draw against Tottenham and is focusing on the positives to prepare for their upcoming match against Manchester City in a rare Friday kickoff.

"I'm really proud of the performance," Taylor stated. "We improved in the second half, but I still felt we were the better team in the first half as well. I think our main issue today was our final action." Despite having control of the game for a large portion of the match, Tottenham managed to stay in contention until late. Taylor was satisfied with the quality of the goal scored by his team and felt they could have earned a penalty.

Even with four points from their first three games, it is a significant improvement from last season's struggles. Taylor also highlighted the quality of the team's performance today, stating that they should be proud of their efforts.
