LAFC and LA Galaxy have struggled.
By any account, they had the goal of making the playoffs and not making it is a disappointment.
LAFC didn't have the services of Carlos Vela for much of the season.
LA Galaxy had Chicharito missing due to injury for a segment of the season.
I follow LA Galaxy much more closely and my sense is that the midfield was the weakest link. The movement of the ball when LAG went on offense seemed at times to get stuck in the midfield. And because the LAG have an aggressive approach by their right and left backs, the midfield has to help on defense and sometimes that didn't happen.
Chicharito, when healthy, did a lot.
But the supporting cast for the front line, Cabral, Grandsir, and Joveljic, had moments but wasn't the consistent presence hoped for.
As for the best center-back pairing?
Hard to say, between Williams, DePuy, Coulibaly, and Steres, who was the best pairing.
By the end, it seemed Williams and DePuy was the preferred pairing.
Will see what moves are made for the 2022 season.
