What a difference a second forward makes. This formation is clearly working for the LA Galaxy who start the 2021 MLS season with two wins. It clearly gives Chicharito room to operate, and there are some dangerous weapons that are a threat to score emerging behind him. Who would have thought we’d be happy with Ethan Zubak?!?!?!
Victor Vazquez is also proving his worth, and Jonathan Dos Santos looked better on the ball this week. It is no coincidence that the midfield started to erode when he left the game.
The Galaxy do have several things to clean up.
