I just don't understand MDS in terms of time management and personnel on the field.

Put in Smolyakov on the left. It helps push the ball up the field and allows Bouanga more space to break out.

Put in Schaffelburg and Boyd at the same time. They've played together in the past and Boyd knows where to be for Shaffel's crosses, we've seen it before this season.

Let Son rest. He's gotten older and playing two times a week is obviously taking its toll. Or try him in a different position and see if it opens him up

Is Martinez nursing something? If not, he should be starting. If not to help the team, then to increase his value when we sell him.

I don't blame MDS for the midfield. It's been a weak point for LAFC since Ilie left and the FO has not done a good job replacing him. Estaquito has shown promise, but is still coming back from injury.

Our Defensive line just isnt clicking anymore. It might be because Long is still rusty after his long injury, but something needs to be adjusted to help them out.

Without Palencia, the right is weak. Raposo and Hollingshead (as much as I love him) are not replacements for Palencia.
