Galaxy v. Wizards

Charles I can honestly say that Troy and Franklin are fine Back there. Troy is not a bad CB and he is young and learning more and more, he gets better every game. I can not see how you can say to not let him play, and then you want to play Dominguez who is older. If you want us to play a young team and let them learn then you leave Troy in. I would bench Becks ass until he learns how to F'in play, he was walking towards the guy on the second goal, made me sick.

what a dreadful game to watch. So painful. This team played with no heart. I was so shocked that there was only one substitution in the match! We really needed some fresh legs in the second half, but Alan Gordon was not the answer.

I am tired of people dogging Beckham. This guy is not the problem. He shows up and plays hard ever game. He manner of play is frustrating sometimes (tends to pass up shots and looks only to deliver the long service, but he also tries to elevate his teammates through his style of play. He is the best short and long passer on the team, but the first touch by pretty much everyone except Buddle is usually piss poor.

This team desperately needs a win but more importantly needs to get some fire back. There is no question that Arena is going to make wholesale changes to this team for next season, but for now things are going to be a mess.

In just a matter of mere minutes (when our guys lost focus, stepped off the pedal on marking, and seemed to look winded/battered), Wizards came in an made us pay! Personally, I don't think there was anything that Wicks could have done to stop the second missile launcher from Davy Arnaud. I do think there's a lot that Vanney, possibly Roberts, could have done to thwart Davy from making Davy's Kick so accurate and pin-point! The goal from the flick off of Josh Wolff was because of incredible persistence from Herculez on either wing, and the failure/slowness/mis-timing of Troy & Klein. I'm not "downing" Klein - not at all - he gives his all out there on the pitch each & every game. In the right back position, I do believe he messes it up only because he's so intent on being part of the attack along the wing. Yes, we had guys traveling - our main guys that are the creative & offensive masters of this team... but, David was off tonight. Not just on one or two crosses, but more! Bryan Jordan - love this kid - he made me so proud torturing Michael Harrington! In a mere matter of minutes, the balance of power shifted!
I'm sorry LAG fans (really, I am hurting inside) - but, we are NOT going make the 2008 play-offs. Too many games without wins. And, we have three more away games left to play! I don't know why Donovan thought it was clever or comical to try to settle the ball his hand and thus get a yellow card out of it? For me, Landon (eventhough, I really appreciate him for his speed, his break-out ability, and what he brings to both club matches and USMNT matches) - Landon always been a player who needs to be the focus of attention. I think it's time he learns what's waiting for him outside of MLS. I think many at times, US forwards (like Eddie Johnson, for example) think that they got the goods to make it in Europe. Oh, how very sadly, they're mistaken. I really hope Freddy Adu and Jozy Altidore get the most out of their time in Europe... and, that is to learn and to practice as much as possible from world-class coaches, staff, and players... When they come back, it'll make for a much better MLS!
I really can't stand how badly we're choking and suffering on this salary cap CRAP!!! I do NOT want David to leave the LAG. Why force a world-class player who is definitely awesome for this league to leave because the power-thirsty sorcerers inside this league wants to be the new soccer mafia? I absolutely see no gain in points by having Greg Vanney, Pete Vagenas, Alan Gordon, and Troy Roberts continue to play the rest of this season. I want LAG to give more chances to all of the rest: especially Brandon McDonald, Josh Tudela, Mike Munoz, Eduardo Dominguez, Joey Franchino, Izzy Sesay, Julian Valentin, Scott Bolkan, and Vardan Adzemian. I want the four "grandpa's" I listed above off of the LAG at the end of this season!!!

now that man city is flush with cash with the new owners, any way we can beg them to buy Beckham, and use that $ to get back Albright????

What the f*** just happened?
I think this is a chemistry problem. Either Landycakes or Beckham has to go. Of course, there's tons of other problems, but for these stars not to produce shows me that something has to change. With Lewis, Beckham and Donovan, there's no excuse for our poor possession. They can't work as a unit, pure and simple. The midfield was better last week without those guys.
The 3 of them are good players..one's gotta go.

I'm done!!! I'll be wearing the paper bag on Sat. with a sign that reads "Ridiculous"

from what I've read, I'm glad I missed the game. frustrating reading these comments knowing another season gone down the toilet. we need to get on a roll and win every game we have left and chances of that happening slim!

So much for Jen's prediction..Huh?

D.C. United at home next. Maybe the team will bring their balls for that game...

All I what is 100% from every player on the field.

Nathan,

If got rid of Beckham we could affort a mid field...simple as that. Look at Houston no DP's and hell of allot of sucess.

It's sucks being a Galaxy fan right now! San Jose, Chivas and Toronto are above us. Unbelievable!

im out f'in pissed off

God damn it

wow WTF Klein

put a fork in us

I'm tired of all the excuses. Yallop, Lalas, Guillet..etc. The players have to get it done! The player on the G's that gives effort on a consistant basis is Klein the rest are piss poor!

Knock knock.
who's there?
Offense.
Offense who?
Need I say more..

Next week, DC 40, Galaxy 0.

Stick a fork in them, they are done.

Their done! No playoffs again! Time for the team to be gutted and start again. Hopefully, Beckham will leave soon and we can get back to the old Galaxy that won games and played with passion. What a fricking mess we have become.
Sad...Sad...Sad

Who sucks worst in the Suck Bowl?

WE suck worst in the Suck Bowl!

Come on Gordon that should have been in.

come on guys

another crap pass by Becks

Walked towards the guy no pressure

Nice try Becks you Fvck

Wow its over man are we bad

Only a matter of time till they got one on us damn it

What a Save!!!

Damn almost Buddle

Wow were we just lucky

Nice, damn Becks almost had that would love to see more of those.

Nice hustle from Becks about time

No changes for the second half

I've watched four European games in the last week. These football lines are are driving me insane!!

Troy saved his ass!

2 more saves

Nice f'in save Wicks

Wow Becks! WTF

Nice punch out by Wicks

Another bad give away by Becks

Last time was Chivas game at the beginning of the season

Twice this season I have seen him do that hand ball.

ahh hand ball ok good call

Oh WTF!

oh come on should have been a PK

He is probably thinking Walcott Walcott lol

Another give away by Becks

Harrington is looking like Jordan is pissing him off lol

Garbage again

yeah lets get this one Becks come on

Yeah but he has been looking like ass most the season.

Damn good shot by Landon

WTF Becks thats 2 really bad ones

Wicks should stop with those short throws, one is going to bite him in the ass.

Good idea come on Buddle, like to see those shots.

Starting to look better

Yeah he is lol

Not looking that great early here.

Yeah I like the lineup but wish B Mac was in.

Lineup from the Official Blog:

------------Buddle-------Donovan------------

Lewis-------------Beckham------------Jordan

-------------------Vanney---------------------

Jazic-------Franklin------Roberts--------Klein

--------------------Wicks---------------------

Subs: Saunders, Valentin, Randolph, Pires, Vagenas, Tudela, Gordon

This looks interesting and I think is what a lot of us were hoping for. Also, McDonald isn't even on the bench.

What time is the game? Even the Galaxy official website doesn't seem to want us to see it. First they put it on HDNet, then they don't tell us the time.

I will be watching at work on the mlsnet ticket, I was trying to come up with a way to get Jordan on the field with the rest of the guys but I think he can only come in as a sub unless we switched to a 4-3-3 which they used last week and then we could do something like this.
——--------Buddle——————----
Landon————----------Jordan
-----Lewis—————Becks------
—–--------BMac-------------
Jazic–Roberts–Franklin–Klein
————-------Wicks————–------

Bench - Saunders, Vanney, Gordan, Vagenas, Dominguez, Randolph, Valentin/Tudela.

Which could be good to see also.

Justin, I like your lineup and we should come out of this one with a win (4-2, my prediction) no more draws and a loss would be devastating for our chances of making the post season. Even looking at the bench there are some good players for a change :p

I may miss this one so please everyone write in some comments, I enjoy reading them :)

Lets go G's!!! We need this one bad I see something like a 4-4-2 again

------Buddle-------------------
-------------Landon------------
Lewis---------------------Becks
-----Vanney-------BMac---------
Jazic--Roberts--Franklin--Klein
------------Wicks--------------

Bnech - Saunders, Jordan, Gordan, Vagenas, Dominguez, Randolph, Valentin/Tudela.

What do you peps think?
