LA Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake match preview

I’m sighing here. Just a deep, prolonged sigh. You know the answer here. RSL needs to score goals. They need to do it before the opposition. It feels like nothing meaningful has changed in the last 15 games to set us up for goal scoring opportunities, and I think that’s evidenced by the fact that the goals haven’t seemed closer. You need look no further than the continued, repeated shots from distance — indisputably low-odds shots, even if they’re exciting — to see RSL repeating the same mistakes, week-in, week-out. When our attacking game plan outside of shots from distance involves crossing to players like Andrew Brody (a fine player in his own right, but a target man, he is not,) it’s clear something’s wrong and not being corrected.
