The LA Galaxy are mired in a five-game losing streak right now, and having the weekend off unexpectedly after their opponent, the Colorado Rapids, are dealing with an ongoing team coronavirus outbreak, could be a blessing in disguise.
During their previous winning streak this season, LA looked sharp, crisp. They could run, they snapped passes at each other. Their execution was good. And then they slid down a hill and haven’t gotten out yet.
I’ve posited that much of their problem has been fatigue. With the Galaxy often playing every three or four days, Guillermo Barros Schelotto tends to play something close to the same XI game after game and it looks like it’s caught up to the team.
