For 26 matches, Los Angeles FC were the best MLS team that I have ever seen. In fact, they were so dominant during that period that that statement is not even a controversial one. They stand head and shoulders above every other team in MLS history.
However, in the past five matches, Bob Bradley’s side have stalled. They have drawn four, lost one, and looked at least somewhat more laboured than in their previous 26 matches. And given that this has come in the climax of the season, just as the playoffs loom, some are beginning to wonder if they have been figured out at precisely the wrong time.
