The Galaxy overcame a poor early start to rally to a romp over D.C. United, but the victory didn't hide the fact Gio Dos Santos and Steven Gerrard struggled mightily again.
When Bruce Arena set about revamping the LA Galaxy this winter, the questions began almost immediately about whether the Galaxy weren't building too old a team. Losing a pair of starters in their mid-20s in Omar Gonzalez and Juninho, and replacing them with players in their mid-30s like Ashley Cole and Jelle Van Damme was seen as risky, especially considering there were already older players on the rosters like Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane.
