Like a mountaineer cheerfully yodeling during his ascent, the LA Galaxy continue to climb up the league power rankings.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s squad have earned 12 out of a possible 15 points from five matches despite less than ideal circumstances. There’s been injuries. New signings are still acclimating. More are on the way.
Yes the Galaxy cross the ball way too much, but an overlooked caveat of LA’s over reliance on aerial ability is one of circumstance. The Schelotto twins are still in the early stages of implementing their attacking philosophy.
