Why it matters
The article provides insight into the competitive landscape of the Women's Super League and the pressures of professional football management.
Scott Phelan is very much focused on improving his team's performance as they prepare for their opening WSL home fixture at Goodison Park after Everton Women were decidedly below par in the opening-day defeat away at Crystal Palace .
The boss has also updated on the fitness of some of his squad, with club captain Meg Finnigan making real progress after her ACL injury, although new signings Noemie Mouchon, Jutta Rantala, Naomi Layzell, as well as a few others aren't quite ready to play after 'disruptive' pre-seasons.
But Phelan, who was speaking to evertontv after the Palace game, is looking for the standards to be raised when they take to the hallowed turf of the Grand Old Lady, as the Blues look to bounce back against Charlton Athletic this Sunday.
