Anna Patten says Aston Villa are not in 'panic mode' despite a winless start to the WSL, and why she is encouraging Daphne van Domselaar to shout at her team-mates.
Centre-back Anna Patten cuts a calm and friendly figure as we chat all things Aston Villa Women, clearly enjoying life at the club after her permanent signing from Arsenal Women this summer. It is perhaps reflective of how the team are feeling, despite a rocky start to the WSL season. It has come as a shock to some that Aston Villa are yet to register a point after four games.
'But we have said that when we watch her play for the Netherlands, she's screaming at the players in front of her. When she played England in the last international break, and she put on an unreal performance, the majority of the time after a save, she started screaming at everyone in front of her. 'So when she rocked up to training after that, we said 'Daph, you can do that to us. Please do that!'.
