Ciani’s lack of pace leads to misskick and gives up corner kick.* *I know - I’m picking on him a bit.
Alessandrini makes it 3-0! Mission accomplished! They helped us by not finishing their point blanks but I’ll take it.
Next week: battle of the title of biggest disappointment. LA potentially finishing dead last for the first time in league history (tied in 07(?) with San Jose) or Dallas possibly missing out on a playoff spot after looking an early favorite to win the West and make a deep MLS Cup run.
JDS looked quite good, Alessandrini is the real deal........ It'll be interesting to see what Sigi does offseason with this squad.
Wow, great performance. The front 6 is coming together. This team could be scary good next year! Ema was uncharacteristically poor in this match.
Honestly the only difference between these two teams tonight was Alesandrini. If Minn. had a finisher this game is 3-3. Our defence is a shambles and Cianni is not the answer. Cole is a true professional, I love to watch him play, hoping he comes back for one more year. Next year we should build this team around Alesandrini. Gio runs a lot (at least tonight), but he doesn't actually do anything. So good to leave the Stub Hub with a victory, I can't remember the last one....May?
All around good performance. Not sure how good MIN U is, but we outplayed them both on offense and defense. I thought pretty much everyone got up for this one and turned in a good match. The angle on both Romain's goals were pretty crazy, but from different sides The dude's a one man army. Jona's header was very classy; nice to see him get his first LA goal. Why didn't the goal line technology instantly notify the ref of the goal? Why was VAR needed? Nice to see the young guys getting chances and showing up. Both BJ and Lassiter looked very dangerous; promising heading into next season. Great to see Husidic again! One of my favorite players.
