Looks like our reserves finally got a win vs the Crapids 4-2. Herc scored 2 goals. Maybe we could see him start the last 4 games? After all Yallop did say he'll start anyone who's scoring goals for the team. http://la.galaxy.mlsnet.com/news/te...tent_id=72951&vkey=pr_lag&fext=.jsp&team=t106
I wish Herc would have played more reserve games. He is a player that relies heavily on his own confidence. Another superb reserve year would have had him ready to produce for the big team...
He did so well last season. I don't know why he went downhill this season. He was fun to watch, lots of determination. Now, he is afraid to go forward and he falls a lot.
Los Angeles - GK Steve Cronin, D Aaron Lopez, D Kyle Veris, D Andy O'Shay (Trevor Persons 72), D Mike Randolph (Lawrence Smalls 75), M Quavas Kirk (Dan Paladini 46), M Stefani Miglioranzi, M Michael Enfield (Emmanuel Bentil 75), M Josh Gardner (Jason Boyce 57), F Josh Hansen, F Herculez Gomez Who are these players? Didn't we get rid of Paladini? So why's he playing on the reserves? Anyway, good job on the goals. Too bad it wasn't Sat. nite's score.
Teams figured out how to mark him ... he is extremely fast and has a cannon for a shot but he doesnt like contact. Fullbacks put a body on him and it throws him off his game. Herc's best asset is when he is able to run on to a through ball from the midfield, that is how he scores the majority of his goals. He is not a one v one type of forward and rarely if ever will beat a man with a move. He is a long ball/through ball type of player. But again, our service out of the midfield this season has been sub par at best all season.
I know that Lawrence Smalls played for UCI and now plays for Chivas and Galaxy Reserves and Aaron Lopez played for UCLA and was drafted by Chivas
I didn't know that you could bring anybody to play in the reserves. It doesn't make any sense. Aren't reserves supposed to be team reserves?.
What "reserves" do we have? Our roster is decimated by injuries. Or ... was decimated. THAT's why our reserves were able to play well yesterday: b/c we had real reserves instead of guest players. We had guys that can play in the A game and not skip a beat. I agree w/ CSUFstewie: our midfield was so bad for so long that it really screwed up Herc.
