Andy Spence insisted there is no time for his Everton Ladies side to dwell on their disappointing 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Having beaten Reading at the Merseyrail Community Stadium on Sunday, the Blue Girls were brought back down to earth by clinical City side at the same venue on Thursday night.
But with a third straight home game against Chelsea to come on Sunday, Spence knows his players must react quickly from a difficult result.
“You have got to accept the moments that you have played well and picked up results and wins but then at the same time, when you play against really good opposition, you can come away with a bloody nose,” he said.
