Coombs has started both of City’s opening games in the new campaign and admits she loves working with Taylor, a coach who has given her the confidence to go out and perform.
“I felt really good under Gaz since last pre-season,” she explained ahead of City’s Women’s Champions League fixture against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
“I just needed a chance to get a run of games. I got that and I felt really confident under him. I know what he expects of me, he makes it really clear and it makes it really easy to work with him.
“We have a good relationship and I think I can improve even more under him moving forward.”
