It was a barn burner in Los Angeles on Sunday Night. Orlando City came out on the wrong end of the 4-3 affair, but what you saw was a team whose attack has begun to evolve under James O’Connor.
If we compare City’s stats in the last two matches against LA Galaxy and NYCFC with the first four matches under Head Coach James O’Connor’s management against Columbus Crew, Philadelphia Union, Toronto FC and LAFC, we see some notable improvements. The average numbers of shots, corners, crosses and total passes per match have risen considerably.
