Manchester City had a slower start to the season after summer saw a huge departure of key squad players, but they capped off the year with a 10-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
Manager Gareth Taylor had his work cut out to initiate a transition and rebuild of his squad just weeks after the Euros with the mass exodus of players in the summer.
High-profile names such as Lucy Bronze, Kiera Walsh, Georgia Stanway and Caroline Weir all jumped ship for Champions League football while Ellen White, Jill Scott and Karen Bardsley announced their retirement from the game that left City’s quest for domestic triumph in question.
