If you want to get an insight into what Chelsea's culture is like under Emma Hayes, just spend a few minutes with Erin Cuthbert. The Scottish midfielder is a self-confessed 'mini-me' of the departing Chelsea manager. That's what spending the last seven years together at the club gets you. 'Because we've worked together for so long, I've started responding to situations like Emma,' Cuthbert tells Sky Sports from the Chelsea training ground.
' Yet there's an issue. How Chelsea win may be important. The goal difference situation in the Women's Super League title race means that winning big and winning pretty counts for something. One missed chance in front of goal, or one clumsy mistake at the back, and it could be crucial. Not that Chelsea, Hayes or her mini-me are thinking about changing how they approach things. 'This part of the season there is no room for slip-ups in any case,' says the Scottish midfielder.
