'No one can defend against Lauren James!' - Jepson bullish after Man United defeat

The Reds' boss dismissed claims that her team defended poorly against their rivals and insisted that her team are not far off where they want to be

Liverpool boss Vicky Jepson defended her team after a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United, describing winger Lauren James as a player that no centre-back in the league ‘can deal with’.

Teenager James made her full debut on Saturday and marked it with a goal, before former Red Katie Zelem wrapped up the points from the spot.

But Jepson was bullish after the game, dismissing the idea that her team’s defending helped United claim all three points.
