Cast your mind back to last season and the season before when PSV were dominiating games but losing by the solitary goal due to a lack of fire-power in the team and then think back to when Manager Gaz was appointed promising the fans that he was aiming to make his young team a force to be reckoned with by season three and that he would work flat out to give them a team to be proud of if they had faith in him and stuck by him!….

Well season 3 has arrived with a bang and the loyal supporters are finally reaping the benefits for their patience and undying support.
On Sunday PSV beat mid table Locomotiv Moscow 1-0 at home to record their 6th win in a row and climbed to 4th place in the table where they sit only 3 points behind leaders Hertha Berlin who they beat 2-1 away from home only a fortnight ago.
The transformation has been astonishing for the Dutch cracks and shows how believing in a squad and keeping them together will eventually pay dividends.
PSV and Gaz have a non-transfer policy and have been very shrewd in the market selling only 6 players in 3 seasons in deals which seen 4 of them used as part of 2 transfers.
Gaffer Gaz speaking on the Legends show on skysports tonight said.. ‘This togetherness and team effort is our trademark and when its mixed with the right tactics it makes us rise above and defeat teams with better players’
Despite a good start to the season, PSV lost 3 games in a row in March leading to a total overhall in tacticschanging from their normal 4-3-3 to a more defensive 4-2-3-1 and after a good 0-0 draw away to Dynamo Kiev, another tweek of the tactics, both formation wise and defensive wise, they seem to have closed the hole at the back and opened up the floodgates in attack.
wins against Leicester, Cruziero, Hertha, Shakhtar, Alkmaar, and Locomotiv got the club and the fans dreaming of automatic promotion and with Sturridgem Bakambu and Kagawa on fire in attack, only a fool would right of their chances of going up this season.
Next up for PSV is Gav Harmer’s Chievo Verona who have drawn their last 2 games and currently sit in 8th place in the table in a game that could see PSV go top dependimg on other results.
