Liverpool 0-0 Notts Co
Liverpool were left frustrated on Saturday after a goalless, and largely forgetful, draw with Notts County.
The closest either side came to a goal was in the opening stages, when the Reds survived a goalmouth scramble, Ellen White’s header hitting the post, before the ball was cleared.
Gemma Bonner and Caroline Weir should have done better with headers for Liverpool, who move up to fourth in the table, while Laura Coombs saw a shot well saved by goalkeeper Megan Walsh.
“It’s frustrating,” said Liverpool stopper Siobhan Chamberlain. “We were looking to come away with three points and could easily have done so — we were playing a really good team who are difficult to beat, a point is always a positive but it doesn’t feel like that at the moment.
“We dominated the game but struggled to create many clearcut chances, I’d still say we did more than enough to win the game so even though it is a decent point it’s really hard to look at it like that right now.
“There’s still plenty to play for this season, we’ll take this frustration into the next game against Arsenal, where hopefully we’ll put our chances away, there’s enough quality in this team to do so.”
Ellen White sent a shot wide for Notts, who have found goals hard to come by so far this season, and they stay in sixth place.
Manager Rick Passmoor was pleased with the result, saying: “I’m really happy with the point.
“We’re playing Liverpool, they were five games unbeaten and are full of confidence and momentum.
“I felt we quashed that, particularly in the first half. We got a clean sheet and showed great resilience so I have to be pleased from that point of view.
“If you take four points from two games from Liverpool it means you’re doing something well and will work as a springboard and add to our belief in the games to come.
“We’ve recruited Jo Potter and Jade Moore so we’re looking up now instead of down. We want to add momentum and belief to what we’re already doing.”
