        Scott: Belief can push Man City in WSL this season

        Jill Scott

        After a season on loan at Everton Women, Jill Scott is back in the Manchester City fold. "It's good to be back, it's like I've never been away," she said in an exclusive chat with Sky Sports' Charlotte Marsh.

        After four successive years as runners-up in the WSL, another summer of personnel changes has seen Man City with real hopes for a successful domestic campaign.

        "Some of the football this team played last season, I was obviously keeping in touch with the girls and watching the way they were playing, I think it was having that belief really," Scott, speaking before City's Champions League disappointment, explained.

        "Stepping away from it and watching it from the outside, the talent in this team is incredible and maybe you just go day-to-day and game-to-game and you might not reflect on how well they're doing. I think just having that little more belief in the talent because it is certainly there and this team can challenge anyone.

        Manchester City Women head coach Gareth Taylor has urged a rethink of the women's football calendar after his side exited the Champions League following a shortened pre-season

        "Speaking to the girls, they've really enjoyed it [under Gareth Taylor]. When new managers come in, it's going be different tactics and different tactical information so it's been different in that sense.

        "There's a lot of detail on the pitch, but it's been great because when you've been playing football for so long, it's great to keep learning new ways of playing. Going to Everton, I learnt a different style of play as well and I think that's the beauty of football - no matter how long you've played, there's always new things to learn.

        "As the season went on, you can see there were certain things Gareth wanted to do on the pitch and it's hard to implement them straight away. But after Christmas, you could see a lot more of his patterns coming out in our play and things like that.

        "With anything, when you've had a manager for a large amount of time, there's going to be that little transition period, but I think the girls did really well. They won the FA Cup again and guaranteeing Champions League football, but we also know we want to push on and get more silverware this season."
