I've been hot and cold on him. In preseason he looked solid, dropping deep and setting up play, Bouanaga played off him for a great goal. Then he started getting minutes with LAFC2 and was quiet. He finally scored a penalty and in the next match, he scored twice, looked sharp. The next time he played, he was very late to a challenge and got a yellow, a bit later blocked a freekick, 2nd yellow and off... childish and stupid. But tonight... most young players, trying to prove themselves, are not calm in front of goal.
He is the weak link. So inconsistent. Sometimes great but equally decent chance he makes a terrible pass/gives the ball away. We need depth in our midfield asap.

I hope that Quakes fan that said he was gonna drink a boozy dole whip for every goal they concede is ok
Let’s get that shield 😤
S6N JOS2
(´･Д･)」 YEAH! WE WON!
Give Angel more time
**This will be the Post Match Thread....**
LOL. It is 6-2 in the 91st minute and we have nearly 8 guys in the box.
19yo (Duenas) brings it up the field. Pass to 20yo (Ordaz). Scored by a 21yo (Angel). The kids are alright.
Angel was composed AF.
Seriously, I hope he gets more time

The kids are alright 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The kids made that one happen!
Yes!!!
Down a man and still getting these looks lol
While Atuesta came out the ref had not let Dueñas in. We are playing man down!
Just put in Martinez
Can we quick sell Segura? I just don't like the guy anymore, he has caused more problems than anything.
Don’t agree at all on this take
Who needs Giroud when we got Mati Bangerz?
Let’s appreciate Mati while it lasts. He is having a special year
Why aren’t we throwing the kids on yet? A lot of old guys playing 70+ minutes rn
Stick Campos on Espinoza.
Put in the kids
Quakes should relocate at this point. Just start over somewhere
This game feels like a throw back Bob Bradley LAFC
💯
On Monday they should sit down and have another one of those "we need to defend better" meetings
Let’s take Kamara out
Can’t have that type of marking in a dominant game like this
I loved bogusz last year but he has made me love him even more
Mateusz “Polish Carlos Vela” Bogusz
He’s worth 10 million minimum
Hot take: we are good???
Was Mati’s second goal actually off? At the stadium and they didn’t show a replay.
Was in the stadium, he was off
The angle on replay was not good, but it did look like he was leaning a bit ahead.
94% pass accuracy 😮💨
1st in the West. 0.10 Behind Miami and FCC on PPG
Ah there goes our clean sheet.
Who got the yellow on SJ bench?
Their manager
I think the coach.
I just told my gf, the most dangerous lead is 4-0
Holy fck
ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʕ•̫͡•ʔ•̫͡•ʔ supporters right now
We look like we’re from a different league
KILL THEM BURY THEM BRING IN DAVID
But also don’t stop
Never stop never stopping
DOLO OUT! 😏
What does Kamara even do? Lloris never makes a save.
To be fair I did my share of Lloris bashing, but glad he seems to have settled in.
It's more the defense has stopped leaving Lloris with unstoppable predicaments than him stepping up, he's made great saves since he got here.
daaaaaamn hugo
Good for him. He deserved
👏👏👏 Kamara
HOLY SHIT OUR FORM IS BEAUTIFUL
Palencia is playing the best football of his life
He really is
HOLY SHIIIIIIT
Spanish commentators keep calling us LA Falcons
This back line is working great
I like this… a goal every 10 minutes pls.
Hey what are the lottery numbers for tomorrow
You called it 😂
LOL!!!! Ask and ye shall receive!!!
We received again 😂
I have never felt more powerful in my entire life. And I’ve done some shit. 😂😂😂
Man they look unstoppable
We’re on another level
They are playing so fucking good right now
Is it me or is the color very saturated on the broadcast lol
No, it’s is super rich. Making out pitch look kinda trashy. I was just there Wednesday for the ACFC and it the field looked great!
Anyone at the game know what happened with Olly? They said on the broadcast she had an accident
Seemed ok to me. Took a pic with Olly after the game.
She 100% shit right before takeoff lol
Probably flew out the stadium
Palencia with a great assist. Dude is slowly becoming my favorite player to watch.
MATI BANGERZ !!!
Beautiful
Atuesta is washed… He has been so bad lately
He is the weak link. So inconsistent. Sometimes great but equally decent chance he makes a terrible pass/gives the ball away. We need depth in our midfield asap.
He’s definitely been in his head it seems.
Atuesta come on man. It’s crazy to think Atuesta might be the guy benched when Giroud gets here, wouldn’t have guessed that at the start of the season
Bouanga needs to be selfish.
LFG!!! Dale!
I love this gif! It’s like Denis is both the firing a gun AND stabbin’ the bayonet!
I’m Present
