Hello and welcome to another edition of the L.A. Times weekly soccer newsletter. I’m Kevin Baxter, the Times’ soccer writer.
I wish I could start out this week by telling you something you didn’t know but I’m afraid the biggest news is old news: The Galaxy are a mess.
ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle, no fan of hyperbole, called them rudderless and quoted an MLS insider as saying the team didn’t “have a plan” and was “just react[ing] to things with panic.”
The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio rightly said the problems won’t be solved by changing coaches, something the Galaxy have done three times in the last 24 months.
