  • WSL talking points: Park for England?

Esme Morgan, who hasn't made her senior international debut yet, is back in the fold after her first call-up in 2021.

Kirby and Kelly are fit again and can compete. It's great to have them again. They did what they were supposed to do.

It's unfortunate that they couldn't come back in September, but it gave other players a chance.

Park's call-up came two days after she scored an excellent solo goal in her side's win overLiverpool in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

The decision to call up the 20-year-old was made after he scored, but she admitted that he was on her radar for a while.

Jess Park deservedly doubles Everton's lead at Anfield against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.

We have 10 months to prepare for the World Cup and there are a lot of talented players. It's a great chance to do that.

We have been followingJess Park for a long time. She is in a good spot. She can play up front but also in the middle of the field. She spent most of her time outside last year. She is excited about it.

The manager said that the two defenders were young. Esme came back strong after getting injured. She's really looking forward to seeing where she's at.

It's not the same with LucyParker. She was in the youth teams and had some injuries, but she was well prepared and played well. It's good to have them in the team to see what they can do.

After the Women's European Championships and the most recent Women's Super League weekend, she could not hide her joy at seeing more high-profile games.

It is great that we can go to Wembley again. They are nice fans and we have experience being there. The best team in the world plays at Wembley.

This is a measurement of where we are. We have shown that we want to compete with the best countries in the world. We have a lot of time to figure out what we can do better. I'm excited for that match.

Jess Park
Jess Park put on a show for all the fans at Anfield during the Merseyside derby.

Sky sports journalist Sam Blitz is a football writer.

The goal of the game was scored by Jess Park in the third quarter of the game. The goal was scored after rounding the goalkeeper in the penalty box.

It was a moment most young forwards dream about when they score a goal like that in front of a large crowd.

She told Sky Sports after the game that she messed it all up. I'm happy it went in.

In front of the Sky cameras, Park revealed the advice Brian Sorensen gives her after missing opportunities. "Get it in the goal." She heeds the advice.

How many more managers will Park work under? She has shown she can handle the pressure of a big stage and now she has her first England call-up.

There is too much competition for the Lionesses' attacking roles, which is a slight issue for Park. The next generation of England talent will be formed by the likes of Lauren Hamp, Lauren James, and others.

Park will be difficult to ignore because of the performances he has had recently. "If she keeps working hard, and she's got all the vision, technique, pace and power, the world is her oyster."
