Be safe and have a great day and weekend!

Automoderator over and out.

Why is Chanot not listed on the roster at LAFC.com?

https://www.lafc.com/roster/

At first, I just assumed it was taking time...but this has gone on for weeks. We still list our players who are loaned out, so we should certainly list those that are actually playing for the team.

And it would be be good if they had more Bio information. It is pretty sparse.

Anyone know when they will be for sale?

LAFC has 4 players out on loan, Ginella, Fall, Buik, and Mario G.

Ginella is barely getting playing time with Nacional. He was on a pretty healthy salary so I’d be surprised if LAFC brings him back to LA when his loan ends in June.

Fall is playing for Barca B and given their cash crunch I’d be shocked if they exercise the purchase option. I do think another European team would sign him given his potential. I don’t think he’ll be back.

Buik is playing but wait for it…not scoring and only has one assist in 9 games. However the club is poised for promotion and I thought promotion would trigger the purchase clause in the loan deal so one can hope.

Mario G is on a bit of a hot streak of late, but it’s taken him awhile to get going. With Kamara signed and Giroud coming I’m assuming Mario G is not in LAFC’s plans even if they have to take a loss on the transfer fee they paid for him.

Personally would love to see Fall come back, but ultimately think it’ll be Buik, based on the fee LAFC paid for him. Anyone think differently?

Not going to the museum on Saturday for once....

Can I buy a youth lafc jersey and have a name printed on the back at the stadium during the match? And/or if I bring a jersey that I have already, would they put the name on the back? Looking for a Bouanga jersey.

Can one person support both teams? Or is this a big no no?

Weird match.

A lot of talk about Segura on the first goal. But Lloris has to come off his line. If Long can give his balls to the LAFC gods to save a goal, Lloris can get off his line on a floater that close to goal and punch. There is no justification for, upon not getting out, being glued to his line. Punch or react.

From there? Tillman was excellent. Our midfield and fullbacks, in general, were superb in possession. This was the first match all season we dominated possession. Apparently that was more boring for people than defending 60% of the time? Giving up almost no chances? Bruvs for real?

Kamara was mixed. Some moments he holds the ball up decent, lays off to midfield, etc, but really? That’s all we get from a lifetime 9? For me, Ordaz should take that spot if we aren’t full strength. He’ll at least make the runs we need and be a pest.

Ilie? Superb match. Won the ball back a bunch. Confident general display. Best match all season.

The revelation of the match was Chanot. Sorry, Murillo, I don’t care if Dolo thinks your pace is useful (it hasn’t been) if we’re stretched facing a counter, but Chanot’s ability on the ball was incredible. It was like having a midfielder at CB who also dealt confidently with what they threw at him. To do that coming into the side with uneven minutes recently? Clear class above. Even Segura, though he made a few errors, was great.

As I started with, I can’t commend Long enough and he’s played recently like a man worried about losing his job. But I really think Chanot made clear he’s our best CB. He has to play.

Beyond this, Dolo needs to get over himself, the same self that decided Fall didn’t deserve to play for us, and let Campos play. Hollingshead is great. Palencia is great running up and down that line. But we looked totally discombobulated on the left wing over and over again. For all the people criticizing our recycling possession? It happened on the left wing again and again that the lanes were jammed, so we go backwards.

Hollingshead, reasonably, was cutting inside to utilize his right foot. But Denis is an inside forward. They were taking up each other’s space. While the overlap would have been there over and over and over again. To have that incisive possibility and never use it is really hard to defend. Campos needs to play. We’d be a more balanced team.

Our goals? Kind of hilarious. Red Bull played pretty poorly. Their goalie was great on the ball. But they were one of the least threatening teams we’ve played all year. Bouanga? Bouanga was very bad. I feel like it’s the same replay every match. The ball gets played to Bouanga. There’s a good option he could pass to nearby. Nope. Puts his head down, tries to beat 2, 3, 4 men. Turnover.

That he ended that match with two goals is just one of those football god moments of nonsense. I hope they were laughing too. Credit to him for winning that penalty. It was the one time all match he took on his man well. Credit for actually taking a shot. We took so few. You miss all the shots you…

Just a weird fucking match. I do feel bad for Dolo. We’re accumulating weird matches. Is Dolo to blame for the goals? Maybe the second. Tillman has scored a number of goals on that back post being left free and then we defend a corner in a manner that makes the same thing possible? I don’t know.

I am sympathetic to the idea if we have two other DPs stuff isn’t as bad. I also think there are a lot of clubs in this league who have proven that some names don’t mean a whole lot to results if you aren’t set up correctly.

We just don’t look like a team that has it figured out. I never have the sense that someone in the side is going to take full responsibility and just give it everything. We need to find our identity.

It’s like a teleNoVela

On game overall: "The whole game was a great fight. I’m very satisfied, I’m proud of this team, of this fight. Unlucky we didn’t get these three points."

On Bouanga Goal: "is natural for the center back that you stay in front of the goalkeeper. You want to save this shot but what we have to improve is to push out with our center backs and this is individual development...This is really unfortunate. Noah Eile wants to do everything to block Dennis Bouanga's shot, similar situation against Orlando. I think body positioning inside the 18 is something Noah and Sandro Schwarz will look into, as areas to improve."

HYPEMAN OUT

Hey so my friends and I are in town today to see the LAFC vs Red Bulls game from Detroit. We were wondering if there is a march to the game and if so, from where, and also what bars are good around the stadium and is there good night life in the area.

Sorry for the n00b question, I really tried to find these answers myself but couldn't for the life of me. Really looking forward to tonight!

What do you have in mind?

Got this pretty cheap at a silent auction. Said it was signed by Ilie Sanchez, but it looks like maybe a good chunk of the squad. Does anyone recognize any of the signature?
