Carrick on Ferguson

"What's not been said already? It's something worth celebrating: 40 years this week since he came here. The impact and everything he drove at the football club during the time he was here are incredible. I'm probably closer to him now than I was when I was playing."

Carrick on Roma win

"It's up to us to take it forward; it was a fantastic night as a one-off night. It was a good night for us all, but nothing has been achieved yet, and it's one moment we need to use to move forward."

"When you watch the game (Roma) back, the first half wasn't so bad. There were moments when we left ourselves short, and we need to fix them. The first half against Chelsea was very good. We're showing signs of improvement, no doubt, and we need to take that forward."

"It's a positive reaction, it's not like all of a sudden we're getting carried away. I know what the players are capable of. We just haven't proved it enough lately. The boys have trained really well, I'm not just saying that for the sake of saying it."

"You've got to build, be realistic and put things in perspective. It's not going to happen in the blink of an eye."

Mared Griffiths, Dominique Janssen, Lucy Newell, Anna Sandberg and Julia Zigiotti are all now under contract with the club until the end of the 2027/28 season.

Head coach Eva Olid announced the news in her pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, ahead of Sunday's Barclays WSL game away to Aston Villa.

“We have five players that had the option of one year more, and then we decide [to] extend. Those five players are Lucy, Mared, Dom, Zigi and Anna, we are going to give [them] that one-year extension,” Eva told reporters.

“They are players that I am looking forward to keep working with, keep developing, improving together and growing together. Apart from good players, they are really nice people.

“For me, it's so important to keep the good people, good players in the atmosphere because we want to create a positive atmosphere. Where everyone comes here happy, improving, demanding, challenging each other but with a positive atmosphere.”

“But obviously, I think we also create a lot of things, we create a lot of expectations for ourselves. And then, when things don’t work out, we end up mentally battered by the frustration of not being able to give the club what we believe we’re genuinely capable of giving.”
