If the team plays like it has since Gerrard arrived, I doubt we'll get too many converts. I spoke to a friend who follows Mexico & Chivas, so has followed Chicharito closer than I have in the past couple of years and he's got me a bit worried. He's concerned that Hernandez seems to have lost his rhythm. Then again, this is the league where Bradley Wright-Phillips was a prolific goalscorer, so there's plenty of hope.
And his much more famous and accomplished brother was a bust. I know Shaun was 34 when he came but still surprised he couldn't buy a goal. Well actually he could since he scored exactly one. And then sunk to being loaned down to RB II for his second MLS season. Weird times.
Some flaws in this analysis that they get some of our players wrong, but I think it's still a good analysis of what Chicharito brings. MLS 2020: How Chicharito fits at LA Galaxy – scout report https://footballbh.net/2020/02/04/m...alaxy-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics/
I don't think they spelled Katai correctly. There is no Z in it. Nor most of the other letters they used...

Nice piece from mlssoccer.com. Goes without saying, but Chicha a very different personality from Zlatan Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez trains with LA Galaxy for first time: "We have a perfect team
Sure sounds like a locker room leader. I hope its as it seems and he can help get the best out of supporting players who otherwise might not flourish with guys yelling at them.
I liked the video of him encouraging Zubak. Put us to shame here at Big Soccer as far as positive attitude. I plan to be in full support mode at the games.
Easy for him to put us to shame that way. After all, he didn't live through the last few years with this team. We did. No wonder we're scarred.
Red carpet treatment for @CH14_ ...@SportsCenter @JimmyKimmelLive @ahoraonuncaespn 😉 @noworneverespn now @JKCorden .. Look at the accuracy 🎯 @LAGalaxy #LAGalaxy https://t.co/WT6IeTfe1C— herculez gomez (@herculezg) March 5, 2020
I wonder if this could be a thing: Javier Hernandez’s £145K-a-week wages are creating a ‘toxic’ atmosphere at West Ham, says ‘insider’ Sounds pretty familiar.
Don't know how credible these are, but lots of rumors of Chicharito being a locker room cancer coming out of Mexico / Spanish media. Here's one "badly" translated piece: Find out why Chicharito Hernandez's teammates in LA Galaxy no longer want him on the team Apparently the source is an un-named Galaxy player?
#LAGalaxy GBS would rather have González hopping around on one leg for 5 minutes rather than bringing in #14.And I support this. @ACBrigade @LARiotSquad @VBlockLA #LAvVAN @LAisOurHouse @LAGalaxy pic.twitter.com/JRfSPpKP9S— - (@thekevinryder) October 19, 2020
🎙 Guillermo Barros Schelotto: “Más allá de lo que pueda pasar dentro o fuera del vestuario, las decisiones siempre tienen que ver con lo futbolístico y consideré que lo mejor para el equipo era que juegue Gonzalez y NO Chicharito”. https://t.co/i1z5QjeQGQ— Fernando Cevallos (@FerCevallosF) October 19, 2020
Honestly, Chicharito has been so bad. Those misses yesterday.. yikes!! Say what you will about GBS, but the man had the stones to bench our most expensive and famous DP during a game many in the media had labeled a must win game for him. Word was he was being fired if the team had lost.
Hola @LAGalaxy, en Tepatitlán también tenemos un Javier Hernández, nada más que este sí hace golazos 😉#SomosAlteños 🔵🔴#Guard1anes2020pic.twitter.com/Di5fiDdalT— Tepatitlán FC (@TepatitlanFC) October 21, 2020 This signing is becoming an international joke. It's literally having the opposite effect of what AEG desired, disgracing the final years of a Mexican legend and making the Galaxy look like a joke of a club in the process. People are calling for him to return to Chivas where he can finish his career "with dignity". If they were hoping to gain the long-term support of Mexican fans from this fiasco, it's creating the opposite effect.
