With her side's sixth league win out of six, Bompastor became the first manager to win their first four away games in the history of the WSL, and maintained a 100% record in all competitions after eight games while looking confident, attack-minded and self-assured.
"Even if it is maybe a perfect start for us in terms of results, points and performances, we didn't win anything yet," the Frenchwoman said. "So we need to keep the good balance between the confidence which is really important for the players - but also keeping the head on the shoulders, and not flying or not being aligned with the reality. That's my job, to make sure I maintain that balance."
Their latest win was their second on Merseyside in successive Sundays, after the emphatic 5-0 victory at Goodison Park, and if Liverpool fans were looking for any consolations, they will have at least been glad they made this game significantly more of a contest than their neighbours Everton managed to.
