Tonight’s impressive 4-1 win over Chelsea may have only be a friendly, but along with the 4-0 win over DC United and 4-3 win over Man City we have shown that we have clearly improved as a team during our tour of the United States.
The passing, the pressing, and the overall speed and accuracy of our game is a remarkable improvement on last season. We look more compact as a side, and the sharpness that we so often lacked last season is more evident this time around.

Of course it’s only pre season and the serious stuff has yet to begin, but the signs are good. The only negative is that we still haven’t improved our squad with the quality we require.
Brendan like the supporters is crying out for quality additions, and if he gets his wish, he can build something special at this football club.
The players have clearly bought into his philosophy after taking a while to adapt from Ange Postecoglou’s approach to the game.

Brendan has stamped his authority on the side and has instilled confidence in the players alongside their ability and it’s getting results, even with his limited squad depth.
Just think what he could do with proven quality to bolster his options. It’s time to give him the funds to help him prosper.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
