"The Reds began the season in the Subway Women’s League Cup, battering Sunderland 5-0 in the first game of the group stage, before a late Sam Kerr header overcame second-tier Durham FC, and a Beata Olsson hat-trick saw the Reds thrash Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Liverpool had struggled in the league, yet to pick up a win."
"Liverpool drew reigning FA Cup winners Chelsea in the following round. It was miserable, Liverpool were battered 9-1 at home by Chelsea, and were even 4-0 down at half-time. A nadir in what was already a difficult season."
"The following month, Liverpool did some serious business as Jennifer Falk, Denise O'Sullivan and Aurelie Csillag among others were signed, and things started to improve. It took Liverpool until the 25th of January to pick up their first league victory of the season, beating Spurs 2-0 at home."
"Off the back of a successful January, Liverpool began their cup run with a 6-0 demolishing of fourth-tier London Bees in the capital. O'Sullivan and Martha Thomas scored debut goals, as the Reds showed the first signs of turning the corner. Liverpool were drawn at home to local rivals Everton in the next round, a squad that has been an unfortunate bogey team in recent years."
Liverpool’s season included significant upheaval alongside football results. Early cup matches brought heavy wins in the Subway Women’s League Cup, including victories over Sunderland, Durham FC, and Sheffield United. League form lagged, culminating in a 9-1 home defeat by Chelsea in the FA Cup, with a 4-0 halftime deficit. January brought major signings, followed by the first league win on 25 January against Spurs. The FA Cup run began with a 6-0 win over London Bees, with debut goals from O’Sullivan and Martha Thomas. Liverpool then beat Everton at home, with first-half goals from Mia Enderby and Beata Olsson, holding their nerve to advance.
