The WSL campaign hasn't gone to plan. But Liverpool Women are suddenly two wins away from the Women's FA Cup — and in a season where the league table has been a source of frustration, that's not nothing. That's actually quite a lot.
There's a version of this season where Liverpool Women finish it with silverware. That version is still very much alive. According to BBC Sport, the club are two wins from Women's FA Cup glory — a run that, depending on how the league table reads come the final whistle of the last WSL fixture, could define how the entire campaign is remembered.
Cup football has a habit of doing that. One trophy reframes everything.
For Liverpool Women, this isn't just about a medal and a lap of honour at Wembley. A Women's FA Cup win would represent a statement about the direction of the club's women's programme — that the investment, the infrastructure, the ambition is pointing somewhere real. Difficult league seasons happen. They happen to everyone. What clubs are judged on, eventually, is whether they can turn a corner when the moment arrives.
Two wins is the corner.
The BBC's framing — silver lining to a disappointing WSL campaign — is fair, but it slightly undersells what cup success would actually deliver. It's not consolation. It's a trophy. It's European qualification. It's a summer where the conversation around Liverpool Women shifts from "what went wrong in the league" to "when does the next season start."
The opponents and the exact round still need confirming before this story is fully told — but the shape of it is already there. Two games. One cup. A season that could still end with something worth celebrating.
Somewhere in the Liverpool Women dressing room, someone has already done the maths.
