“We know, collectively, we weren’t good enough today.
“We weren’t at it.
“It’s disappointing, it’s frustrating.
“We know, collectively, we need to be better.
“That very much was the message at the end of the game.
“Credit needs to be given to Everton.
“They’re a fantastic side.
“They’ve been building something really special over the last season or so.
“They challenged us, they tested us, and we didn’t match that today.
“As a group, we have to adapt to the situation in front of us.
“We can’t plan and prepare for every eventuality and every scenario.
“A lot of the work we do leading up to fixtures is principle-based, which helps us deal with whatever scenario is put in front of us.
“We have to adapt on the day.”
**Gemma Davies**

“We were flat as soon as they scored the first goal.
“Our heads went down, and we lost confidence.
“We’re going to need to work on that for the next game, so we’re going to focus on that.
“We did say that we were coming to come out (of half-time) and be better because it wasn’t good enough from anyone.
“We need to work harder and improve in training.
“We knew how ruthless this league could be from the start of the season.
“We’ve played against some really good teams.
“Everton were extremely good today, and their finishing was too.
“We need to stop the opposition getting shots off, and we need to be better defensively as well.”
