Northern Ireland manager Michael McArdle addressed the team's difficulty in finding the net during recent fixtures. The side has struggled to score in several competitive outings, leading to a search for tactical or personnel changes. According to the Irish Football Association, the squad is preparing for crucial Euro 2025 qualifying matches.
McArdle highlighted the potential impact of uncapped striker Cora Chambers. The Linfield forward received a call-up following her consistent performance in domestic competition. The manager noted that Chambers offers a different profile in the attacking third which could resolve the current drought. Chambers has previously represented Northern Ireland at youth levels but is yet to make her senior debut, per Belfast Live.
Northern Ireland currently sit in League B of the qualification group stages. McArdle emphasised the need for his players to show more composure when presented with chances in front of goal. The team aims to improve its finishing ahead of the next round of international fixtures this month.
