PFA Player of the Year: England or Miedema? BBC pundits’ WSL verdict
With England, it’s all about her consistency. After that loan spell at Liverpool, she has been constantly scoring goals and getting in the right positions.
She looks athletic, confident and calm. I feel like she has been transformed. She was probably not quite ready to play for Chelsea before she went out on loan.
But now England scores all types of goals. I was at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea’s first game of the season and she scored that screamer against Tottenham and she is one of those players where she has improved so much on both feet, that you can’t tell which is her preferred shooting foot now.
She has just been really proficient in her skill set. There is pretty much nothing she can’t do in terms of all-round centre-forward play. With Kerr coming in too, Hayes has done brilliantly to play them together and England has even shone brighter than Kerr so far.
Kerr has obviously not had that much time to settle but her link-up play with England is developing. It’s really exciting for Chelsea.
Miedema and Reiten have also had great seasons. Miedema’s goalscoring ability is second-to-none and she has done incredible stuff on the international stage but England is a late bloomer and that makes me like her even more.
She has shown that you can still do it if you work hard. She has spoken about her struggles on loan and how she has dealt with her mental health.
And now she has turned into not only a fantastic footballer, but a really inspirational leader and person in football.
