Greg Vanney started Saturday’s LA Galaxy game against the Colorado Rapids with some tactical shifts, moving Grandsir, Costa, Vázquez, Aguirre and Coulibaly to the bench after two odorous performances. Raheem Edwards also got moved to midfield. The end result was the same — losing within minutes. Vanney once again picked a slow, pedantic midfield combining Raveloson and Kljestan. Raveloson needs to play forward and Sacha is no defensive midfielder. This helped put pressure on Chase Gasper who once again had a performance to forget.
The offense didn’t help by looking lethargic and bored in the second half after going down a goal.
