Fran Kirby expressed that the Lionesses need significant improvement following their 2-1 loss to France in Euro 2025, marking a historical defeat for defending champions. Kirby emphasized the importance of the post-match analysis led by manager Sarina Wiegman, especially after multiple errors and defensive issues were noted. With the next game against the Netherlands being crucial, Kirby insisted that understanding what went wrong is essential for improvement. Captain Leah Williamson remarked on emotional defending, as Kirby appreciated Williamson’s honesty about the team’s performance.
"I think this analysis probably has to be one of the most important ones of Sarina's managerial career."
"We always do analysis after the game but I think this analysis probably has to be one of the most important ones of Sarina's managerial career."
"This is one of the most important analyst days that the Lionesses have had because we have to find out what has gone wrong, why it went wrong and make it better for the next game."
"We can always say basics weren't good enough, but we have to work on other things that are going to help us beat the Netherlands."
