Perry Kitchen returned for his third season with the LA Galaxy in 2020. After an injury-plagued 2019 campaign restricted him to only eight league appearances that year, he was healthy again and was a fixture in Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s lineup.
As with many Galaxy players in the Schelotto era, I think you can parse Kitchen’s 2020 in a few ways. Did he accomplish his job? Did he have the tactical system and players around him to perform his best? Was he the best option for the role he played?
On the first question, I think it was a mixed bag.
