Sweet. Sweet. 1st goal by our guys! Way to go LA team! Proud of the confidence and attacking spirit! Way to manage the space and apply necessary change-overs in positioning and pressure! Good; Keep it up!

Come on guys - what the f&%$? We can't even guard our lead with a man-advantage? What? How lame!!!

What is up withthis "Jeckell & Hyde" rhythm of this team. First the team starts strong - then, fizzles like out like a soapy balloon in 15 minutes. What? I know the pitch is wet - and, slippery - but, we're playing like a horrific PDL team. It's a disgrace. We have a man advantage - lord, use the momentum and put more goals away! It's nasty to keep bearing this mistake-after-mistake droll!

Bruce has got to go. No excuse for the way he had this team play for 60 minutes up a man.

I cannot understand why this team cannot compose meaningful, sustained attacking sequences at the 18 yeard-box. Every over the head ball/cross is a a prayer and a wish. Why isn't this being critically addressed? Bruce Arena has been screaming on the side-lines attack, attack! And, our players cannot seem to think through attack movements. This has to be addressed!

No excuse! No excuse! If Bruce cannot find meaningful, experienced, attacking, and attacking-sustaining players - then this club/this team has no business in MLS. Stop collecting all our monies with such atrociousness. We had a two-man advantage towards the end - and, still??? No excuse!

Must get sustained sequences of attacks in the 18-yard box! Not just one or two moves and not just one or two guys creating. This has to be addressed! It's down-right pitiful!

The comments on this blog are amazing. This is a completely new team and it cannot become successful overnight. They have improved and it will take some time. You charlesj27, if you know so much of the game and analyze like you are a professional, then why are you not coaching?

Yes, it is frustrating to tie game after game, but we must remember that this is a sport, and in sports, it takes time to develop and grow and become a success. Look at Columbus Crew, MLS CUP 2008 champions, New York Red Bulls, we should applaud the team, and support them in their progress and journey in becoming a success in victory, not diminish their pride, by having no faith and criticizing them day after day. We should show up to a game and stand and cheer, and encourage them. It's frustrating but I am Galaxy fan from day 1 and will continue to be until I no longer exist on this Galaxy. I wear my jerseys with pride and defend my team, I am a supporter of the LA Galaxy, and no one can take that away from me. Thank you.

I totally agree, give these guys a break,rome wasn't built over night. Maybe this is the way it was ment to be right now, but we are not LOSING !!! We are 1 of 2 teams undefeated on the road. 1 or 2 wins puts us towards the top. You all bitch when we lose, bitch when we tie on the road,and always have something negative to say or point fingers and somebody's too blame. If your that unhappy with the galaxy and the shitty season tickets you have,trade them in for a Chivas Season Ticket, we do not need negative fans. let these guys learn,there basically a new team.
