""We had a setback last year, no Champions League, and we sat down as a group at the end of last season and had an honest conversation between ourselves," said Shaw. "There's a mentality shift compared to last season. This season, we just need the three points. "Last season we fell short in a couple of the games, but this season the mentality is the biggest thing.""
"Following their opening-day defeat to the Blues, City have won each of their next seven matches, their longest such run since November 2023 to April 2024 (a run of 14). Last season, City finished the campaign in fourth, with Gareth Taylor being sacked midway through the season before being replaced by interim boss Nick Cushing. City are also the top scorers in the league this term, netting 20 times, while they boast the second-best goal difference in the league (+11, behind only Manchester United's +13)."
Khadija Shaw credits a mentality shift and coach Andree Jeglertz for Manchester City's improved performances after they moved top of the Women's Super League. City beat Everton 2-1 with goals from Vivianne Miedema and Shaw, taking advantage of Chelsea dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Arsenal. City have won seven successive matches since an opening-day defeat to Chelsea, their longest run since November 2023–April 2024. Last season City finished fourth and replaced Gareth Taylor with interim boss Nick Cushing. Opta gives City a 24.7% chance to finish top. City lead the league with 20 goals and a +11 goal difference.
