So I believe he went with

Buddle – Gordon
Tudela – Dominguez – Vanney – Jordan
Randolph – Franklin – Roberts – Klein
Wicks

Subbed McDonald for Dominguez, Munoz for Tudela, and Sesay for Gordon

Jordan was the surprise in the lineup, but was a spitfire and scored the first goal. I had never heard of Munoz before. Sesay played only two minutes, but it was good to see him out there.

Yeah, the official player updates in the “News” section of the LA Galaxy page @ MLSnet.com does not get updated as accurately and responsibly as it should. Sometimes it can take a good 5 – 6 business days for an update… But, by that time, the game may have already been played. Honestly, there was period of two or three games where Alan did pretty well (this was under Ruud)… but, may be he’s back to his average/mediocre ways. I don’t know (to me) Alan just seems like a “high-maintenance/hand-holding type of player”. Personally, I really don’t want to have to see these kind of players in MLS. If MLS is to be taken seriously in the rest of the world – the strength, the pace, the quality, and expectation all have to step up and improve little by little. We desperately need a strong win… if nothing else to give all of us hope again. I can only assume that Bruce, Dave, and Cobi are educating and training like “mad” to get the starting 11 + 7 subs sorted out and prepped. It just royally sucks to be missing 4 strong, quality players this late in the season – when MLS games matter so much. Any-hoo, here’s the starting 11 (in 4-4-1-1 formation) I’m going with to play against RSL:
Buddle
Sesay
Randolph – Vanney – Vagenas – Klein
Franklin – Dominguez – Roberts – Adzemian

Then, in the 60th – 75th minute range, shift it to a 4-1-3-2 formation using the following:
Buddle – Gordon
Randolph – McDonald – Klein
Vanney
Franklin – Dominguez – Bolkan – Roberts

Here’s to hoping the LA Galaxy will somehow get lucky and secure the 3 points!

As of the September 3rd update, Gordon is not listed as having an injury. He is listed on the “news” section of the site, but that contains outdated information.

But I’ve always felt the injury report was never terribly reliable either, with lots of gamesmanship taking place there.

Isn’t gordon hurt? He is listed as out on the Galaxy website. I hate to say it, but the Galaxy are likely to get thumpped royally on Saturday.

i agree with tudela in for allen.

also when gordon starts sucking it up, i wanna see a substitue for jordan. i think jordan has the potential of being a super sub!

I’m not a big fan of Gordon-Buddle because neither of them really has the speed. They are both big target forwards, and when you have 2 of them, it could cause a problem. I would actually give Sesay a shot, even if only for a half, and see if the speed of Sesay with the size of Buddle could cause some match-up problems for RSL defense.

Ely Allen is useless as well. Put Tudela in and save us all from the embarassment of Allen tripping over the ball.

P.S. I am very pleased to announce that when you do a google image search for “Josh Tudela,” the picture of the Monchichi that linked back to this blog is no longer on the front page.

That is all.
