P/I/P Game 30: L.A. Galaxy @ SKC, SUNDAY 9/24/17, 11am PT

I think our loss upcoming Sunday will be smaller than in last 2 games. SKC might rest their starters after Open Cup victory, so 0:2, 1:3, or even 1:2 (Zardes might sneak in late consolation goal after SKC stops playing).

 

Oh, good, another game!!! This might be a tough one to find on my TV options, but if I can I'll be there.

 

A loss, and I believe any result by RSL, Houston or FCD and we are officially, mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. We've been cooked for awhile, but I'd been hoping to see some glimmer of brighter days ahead. to the contrary, we sink lower and lower every week. these last five games are going to be torture for everyone (except our opponents) involved. It looks like no one on the team wants to be out there, and I'm sure the coaching staff wants it to end too so they can start cutting dead weight and start over. We can only hope the FO sees some significant changes upcoming since their incompetence has built this monument to ineptitude called the 2017 Galaxy.

 

My TV guide app says this will be on channel 13.1 on the antennae at 11am. If this is holds up, I'll be watching because I'm a masochistic fan.

 

Zero player from the first team played with Los Dos yesterday. It's surprising, it could mean we'll see the likes of BJ4, McBean, Lassiter, Mendiola or Villarreal today.

 

Gyasi starts at RB. Sure, a few practices and any player can learn how to be an MLS calibre RB. <sigh>

 

Damn this and a pathetic salary cap is why we will never be taken seriously in football.

 

It seems crazy but I want to lose the remaining games (by large margins if possible ) not because I enjoy it but at this point anything that can either wake up the FO or drive one final nail in Klein or Vagenas coffin is a welcome result. There is no belief or pride on this squad and it should be their scarlet letter of shame forever.

 

The Winning XI:

Clement Diop; Gyasi Zardes, Dave Romney, Michael Ciani, Ashley Cole; Jonathan dos Santos, João Pedro; Romain Alessandrini, Bradford Jamieson IV, Emmanuel Boateng; Giovani dos Santos ©.

 

I'm going to withhold judgment on the Zardes experiment, but we need to remember Chris Albright who started at forward and then moved wide and then to right back. It saved his career and I think he even got a little national team interest.

In a slightly better league, Zardes would be a valuable player on the bench, able to cover both forward and wide midfield, but our reality is that a player of that quality needs to be on the field.
I think I would have swapped Boateng and Jamieson. Boateng is a decent enough defender and Jamieson isn't that great at getting back.

 

Oh boy. Zardes at RB experiment. This should be interesting.

 

Just not right watching this team with Landon as a commentator.

 

It's also kinda insult to injury that Landon is calling this game.

LOL. You and I with the same thought.

 

Yep I mean if Atlanta shredded us with true defenders let's see what SKC does with make shift defending.

 

Giants/ Eagles on my local Fox channel. Blacked out on Directv for KC's local broadcast.

Guess the forces that be don't want me to see this.

And once again, MLS gets the US sports red haired stepchild treatment.

 

Anyone who can't stand KCOP commentary FoxDeportes has it, will it really make a difference if you can't understand it? The football will still be the same and we suck in any language!

 

Horrible tackle from JDS. And a yellow card to start. What else is new?

EDIT: Could easily have been a red.

 

Gyasi running around like a chicken. Can't blame him, but he's all sorts of awkward right now.

 

We just lucked out - not offside.
