P/I/P Game 28: L.A. Galaxy vs Toronto, SATURDAY 9/16/17, 7:30pm PT

Speaking of the Dodgers, sheesh and ugh...Anyway, does anyone know if the team has or will appeal Romain's yellow?

 

Wonder if Ciani will make the bench for this one. He said he would need about two weeks to get up to speed. For the Seattle game, Arellano was our lone defensive sub (unless you count Garcia), which would be a little scary against Toronto.

 

Unless the rules have changed, you can't appeal a yellow card even if it leads to suspension.

A few years ago Sarvas got a yellow on a blatant dive by Ned Grabavoy and was suspended for the next match.

 

I guess if we can't have Jones and Alessandrini, it's only sporting of them to not bring Giovinco and Altidore

 

Can't believe it's come to this, to having the Gs be trolled by TFC of all teams.

 

I'll take it. Let's win.

 

Marky Delgado may also sit as he took a knock last game vs SJ.

Vanney is quoted as saying there may be some squad rotation due to midweek derby vs Mtl on 20th and vs NE on 23rd.

If Vanney sticks with 2 striker formation, likely speedy Ricketts will partner youngster Hamilton (kinda plays like Jozy with less ability to do hold up role). But TFC has good depth.

 

Bummer to miss out on having their star forwards here - plus Alessandrini out - makes for less interest for the fans.

 

Both of them took small knocks last weekend, and Giovinco was even subbed out at the half as a precaution. Vanney said this move was a "risk/reward" calculation.

Looking forward to seeing our depth get some minutes against you guys.

 

Oh, that's just cruel.

 

I agree, was wishing for the old "neg rep" button!

 

Now even TFC fans are trolling

 

Suspect we're still going to get pasted.

 

I didn't mean it that way! Haha.

 

I am off to europe today and kick off for this game is at like 3:30am so I think I have to skip this one

 

To every Galaxy player sans-Gio: Play like you did last week
To Gio: Don’t play like you did last week

That’s all. Don’t really care about the result.

 

Will this season finally put to rest all of the "MLS favors the Galaxy in, like everything" conspiracy theories?

 

Looks like Ciani will have to play on Saturday if at all possible:

 

I really miss those days....

 

Given the yellow-card suspensions, I am curious what type of line-up Sigi will use. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Garcia at DMid with JDS at the 8 position like last week. Nor would I be surprised to see Gyasi at right mid with either McBean, Lassiter or JackMac at the 9.
