Post-match: Los Angeles Galaxy - San Jose Earthquakes (Sunday, 4/21) postgame thread [R]

Boy are we bad. We were so lucky to get three goals and not have two or three more hung on us. Yarborough must’ve been on quaaludes and Beason is slower than a one-legged sloth…

 

1st half typical Quakes. 2nd half they showed some fight/spirit/spunk.

But in the end another defeat.

 

The score line flatters us

 

At least the Quakes made it look respectable.

Sadly, too little too late….

 

I’m calling it: Pellegrino’s a bust. Unless he starts to show something really soon, bench him

 

That’s very unlike you…

 

Benji showed more with that first touch than Pellegrino did the entire match

 

No - I meant you usually don’t ever flash anger.

 

Well, we've invented another way to lose - come back from down 3 goals to down 1 goal, go up a man, and....almost, but no cigar.

 

Where’s Mike Magee when you need him…

 

So we couldn’t score while a man up? We watched on hubbys phone during dinner out but didn’t watch after the red card

 

I thought Gruezo played a little harder tonight. Not always good, but at least he was trying. The Morales sub was good. Bouda comes in and he's just out of control and unhelpful. I would have much preferred to see Ricketts instead.

LA won 4-3. I give the Quakes credit for not laying down and dying once they were down 3-0, but honestly, they were begging to get blown out in this one. They are a mess.​

The Galaxy are still the Galaxy though: fun in a lot of ways, but so vulnerable in the air in general and on set pieces in particular that it’s impossible to take them seriously as any kind of contenders.​

 

Is Luchi still going to lose his job this week or will he get another pass?

 

So that's what you get when you have a "mess" of a team play a team that is comically vulnerable in the air and on set pieces - a 4-3 game. It's almost like LAG is a "mess" in the air and on set pieces?

 

Are you kidding? It's going to be "moral victory" and onward they go. I think Luchi will get the whole season and probably next season also. I'm not saying that's the right thing to do necessarily but that's how I see it playing out.

 

We need a striker so badly. And an attacking midfielder. And a defensive midfielder. And a left winger. And a center back. Just most of a team at this point lol
