Welcome back to the Post-Slab Pint, where I break down (pint in hand) the good and the bad from each Portland Timbers’ result. This week, I’ll be talking about the Timbers’ 1–3 home loss to the LA Galaxy. It was another unfortunate early-season performance from the Timbers, as the Galaxy strolled into Providence Park and took their hosts to task early and often.
Seeing as there were plenty of negative aspects from the performance, I’ll start with what I thought was bad last weekend:
Right back proved to be a problem area for the Timbers again, as Samuel Grandsir took Pablo Bonilla to task in the first half before the latter was sent off.
