Man City ladies work in progress after winless start to Women's Super League

Manchester City Women boss Nick Cushing says he is disappointed, but not worried, by their slow start to the Women's Super League season. After defeats by champions Liverpool and 2013 runners-up Bristol Academy in their first two games, City are the only club without a point in WSL 1.

City are also yet to score in their debut season in the top flight.

"We were aware that the project was going to take time," Cushing told BBC Radio Manchester.

"It [the lack of goals] is not a worry. We've scored enough in pre-season to show us that we've got goals in us.

"The players need to understand that they may need just to apply themselves a little bit earlier in games. We've started slowly in both games, and if we start a bit quicker, we'll be better."
