Galaxy Fans, Give Me Your Thoughts
By: Laurie | April 8th, 2008Yesterday I got an email from a Toronto blogger asking for a preview of the game from our perspective. It asked questions like, “What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be?” and “Who’s on form?”
And I’m thinking, “Umm…yeah. I’ve been out of the country for the two opening games. Like I have a clue.”
Jen has graciously offered to step in and help me out with a response (which I’ll post for you tomorrow,) but I’d also like to hear your responses. So tell me how you’d answer these questions:
Who’s on form? (for the Galaxy):
Who’s been playing like crap?:
Who’s hurt/suspended?:
What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be?
Are you happy with Ruud Gullit so far?
Does anyone scare you on Toronto?

Who’s on form? (for the Galaxy): Becks, Landycakes, Cronin, sort of Klein
Who’s been playing like crap?: Gordon, Gavin
Who’s hurt/suspended?: Ruiz
What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be?
4-4-2Cronin
Klein - Xavier - Vanney - Randolph
Becks - McDonald - Pires - Allen
Donovan - GordonAre you happy with Ruud Gullit so far? Happy is perhaps strong. It is too early to judge. He clearly knows the game and brings a good regimen to the team, but he has made some questionable choices so far.
Does anyone scare you on Toronto? Kevin Harmse for his ability to injure. Thankfully he is suspended for that particular skill. Maurice Edu perhaps.
Predict the score: Galaxy 2 - Toronto 1

I totally agree with David, except the part about ruud gullit. He has definetly helped the galaxy and the improvement was easy to see in the past game.

Harmse’s suspension is exactly why we got rid of him. I am hoping Jazic makes his way out of L.A. as well. Edu is scary and possibly Laurent(?) if he is in the lineup.
Gullit is doing great actually, the preseason tour was too much and players needed more training time. Donovan needs to show up to every game this year, he won’t be able to fade as long as Beckham is sending passes his way. It will be interesting to see how our offense picks up when Pescado is back.
We should win, but who knows.Posted from

Who’s on form? (for the Galaxy): Beckham, Donavon, Klein, Franklin
Who’s been playing like crap?: Gordon (but, doesn’t he always), Xavier, Gavin
Who’s hurt/suspended?: El Pescadito
What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be? Same as first poster.
Are you happy with Ruud Gullit so far? Can’t really say yet.
Does anyone scare you on Toronto? No, but if they finalize the Guevarra deal, maybe him.

What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be?
4-4-1-1
Cronin
Klein, Franklin, Vanney, Randolph
Beckham, Pires, Tudela, Allen
Donovan
Gordon (if Ruud isn’t pissed that he was tying his boot doing an offensive press last game)
Are you happy with Ruud Gullit so far?Yeah, I’m glad he calmed down with the free role stuff last game

Passback Pete..like always, is,unfortunately, playing like crapPosted from

Who’s on form? (for the Galaxy): Becks,LD,Randolf,Vanney,Franklin
Who’s been playing like crap?: Vagenas-I’ve never seen more awful player… Xavier?. Cronin
Who’s hurt/suspended?: Ruiz
What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be? Don’t start Xavier. We can’t afford to have two old slow CB at least till Pires feels better with his central holding role. I hope Ruud will start with Vanney or X,for now Vanney looks better.
Are you happy with Ruud Gullit so far?
Very!!! Man knows what he wants,he knows how his team should look like,even if we still isn’t there…it’s always good to know where to go last season we didn’t.
Does anyone scare you on Toronto?
If we play our football..no. (our football means no Vegenas,no stupid mestakes,no half game mental breaks). Nobody should scares team that wants to win something this seson

Vagenas is horrible!!! Can we trade him to the Maple Leafs for a bag of practice pucks?!! Wait no lets give them the bag of pucks to take Vagenas.

Who’s on form? (for the Galaxy): Becks, Donovan and Cronin. McDonald and Allen have played pretty well too.
Who’s been playing like crap?: Gavin and Pires
Who’s hurt/suspended?: The little fishy is out
What do you think LA’s starting xi and formation will be?
4-4-2
Cronin
Klein-Abel-Vanney-Randolph
Becks-Pires(unfortunately)-McDonald-Allen
Gordon-Donovan
Are you happy with Ruud Gullit so far? Not really. He’s spent a lot of $$$ on fishy and the rest of the team is either old or inexperienced. It seems like he doesn’t understand the way MLS works.
Does anyone scare you on Toronto? Maurice Edu

Hey, this isn’t a preview, but it is a wrap-up of last week’s game.
This is shameless self-promotion, of course, since I wrote it…
