LA Galaxy off to a slow start, Part II

Time to panic yet?

The 4-0 mauling of the Galaxy at Orlando was not good.

Two analysis pieces over at MLSSoccer.com put the LA Galaxy troubles under the microscope and into perspective.

In this piece, it is a "show me the numbers" analysis that the problem off poor passing accuracy by the team overall and the midfielders specifically are a major source of concern. The drop off is most striking in the final third passing accuracy and creation of chances in open play.

In the other piece, the focus again was on the poor passing and lack of consistent activity in the final third. Additionally, there was the reality that the Galaxy fielded a make-shift line up with no designated players and some regular role players were out with injury.

So no time to panic yet, but the Galaxy braintrust will have to find a way to keep afloat and not fall too far behind as they await Keene's return and Gerrard's arrival.
