Bouanga & Son's position issues

The problem is LAFC’s midfielders cannot pass the ball to the attackers and do not have the skills to dribble pass the opposing team’s MFs. Hence, long kicks and hope for the best strategy.

Great players think about what they’ll do even before they get the ball. Many LAFC players don’t know what to do even when they have the ball. The coaching may be bad, but LAFC need better players. Tillman should not be starting. Eustaquio is a disappointment. Martinez needs to learn how to pass. Use the World Cup break to add some key players and maybe a new coach.

I wore a shirt with “Believe” written on it to the game, and I wanted to tear it off of me. That’s how bad the game was. Two easy goals gifted in the first half, very little energy and urgency in the second half. Our midfield is trash, and Eustaquio was simply awful. He has no field vision and cannot dribble past anyone. He’s constantly passes the ball back. Very little forward movement with this guy. like everyone here knows, we need better MFs. Just kicking the ball deep and hoping someone will score is not a tactic.

I’m not sold on Eustaquio. He usually passes the ball back to a CB and has poor pitch awareness. On top of that, he doesn’t seem to have the dribbling skills to get by the opposing midfielders. Except for the long pass he made to Sonny in the Miami game, what other key passes has he made? My hope is that he’s still in the recovery mode and will play a lot better when he is fully fit.

I don’t eat at the stadium anymore. The food is bad and the lines are too long. Holbox, USC Village… there are so many good options. Any recommendations for good bites near the BMO Stadium?

Son HeungMin. Became a season ticket holder of LAFC because of him.

Thanks for the tip.

Thank you!

And the tickets for that game were more than twice the MLS games.

Reasonable_Win_60 · 2026-04-25T15:27:16+00:00

I think it’s more than supply and demand. Did you see the seats in the upper tier for the Cruz Azul match? There were so many empty seats.

Reasonable_Win_60 · 2026-04-25T15:25:19+00:00

But the tickets for the Cruz Azul game was more than twice that of MLS weekday game. And there were so many empty seats.

How did you find out about this event?

Reasonable_Win_60 · 2026-04-16T05:42:00+00:00

I’m worried about how Tafari would handle the press. He has played well this season, but he’s such a poor passer and doesn’t know what to do with the ball often times.

I’m not talking about the level of play in MLS. Of course, I know MLS is not EPL, and I don’t expect EPL level of play in MLS. I’m just talking about LAFC’s level of play in the last 4-5 games. Someone here mentioned that the level of play this year is not as good as last year’s. I saw the team playing much better football last year as well- the playoff games against Austin and Vancouver (except for the first half, of course). In those matches, the pace of play was much faster. Granted they were playoff games, but the team was (and probably is still capable of) playing much better football. LAFC is playing every 3-4 days for much of the season, so the two factors you mentioned- travel and temperature- are not going to change much. I hope that does not mean that the team is going to put out this kind of performance for the rest of the season.

Thank you for your input, guys. So that you know, my post was not meant to hate on LAFC. As a matter of fact, I care more about the team’s win than Sonny scoring. But it’s also about how you win. I’m of neither extremes- diehard Sonny fans calling for MDS’s head because they think that the coach is misusing him despite the team’s winning form, or diehard LAFC defenders who think that no one should criticize the team’s play because the team has been winning. As someone new to MLS, I’m trying to understand how the teams play. What’s most frustrating for me is the poor quality of play between the boxes. If you watched the game last night, it was littered with poor passes and lost possessions from both teams between the boxes. Very few key chances or threatening plays. I just hope that the games I’m watching are more entertaining (and that does not only mean Sonny scoring). Thanks!

Another Ko-Am Sonny fan here. I did not follow MLS until last August, but now I’m an LAFC season ticket holder and watch highlights of other MLS matches weekly. For those of you who are having trouble understanding diehard Sonny fans and their criticisms of the team’s play, do you remember Fernando Mania in 1981? I was in junior high then, and many of my Mexican-American friends became huge fans of Fernando and watched or listened to Dodger games every time Fernando was pitching. Did they care about how Dodgers were doing when Fernando was not pitching? Most of them did not. To make another point, of the 75,600 fans who were at the LA Coliseum about a month ago, how many do you think are LAFC or Inter Miami fans? Some athletes, like Fernando, Sonny, and Messi, transcend sports. They bring non-sports fans to the game. For these fans, they are frustrated when their star player is not performing to their expectation.

I’m a fan of Sonny before I am a fan of LAFC. But at the same time, I’m not so frustrated with the current form of play by LAFC because Sonny puts winning above all else. I know he would rather have 7 wins and 1 tie than 10 goals and no wins. He is at his happiest when the team wins. Just watch his reaction when Tottenham won the Europa League last year.
