It was a tremendous first season for Los Angeles FC. Playing with great verve and speed, the newly expanded MLS franchise came to set MLS alight with vivacious atmospheres and vicious attacking play.
But as they look to prepare for the tricky second album, Bob Bradley and his squad understand that evolution is necessary. The 68 goals they scored last season, more than anyone in MLS not named Atlanta, were wonderful. But the 52 they conceded at the other end were equally as problematic.
