No. I’m just going to the game with my mom, so I made a point to say it’s Mothers’ Day Weekend. No insults to Zlatan, Zlatan’s mother, or anyone else in the Zlatan family. I don’t want him to play us when he’s angry.
I just realized we have the advantage of no midweek game for once. LAG plays @Columbus on Wednesday night.
Yep. This is a nice advantage for us. Not just a mid-week game, but a cross country road trip too.
Wonder if Zlatan is folding himself up in coach.
I still don't think LAG's defense is very good. That said, we've done pretty well defending crosses this season, so I think there's a bit of a chance we can neutralize Zlatan, especially with the size of our backline.
LA Galaxy is the only team in MLS that's perfect at home this season (for teams who played at least 1 home game, Portland is 0-0-0 at home). LA Galaxy 6 home games, 6 home wins.
Will we be fully healthy?
F | Mitrita, Heber, Maxi
M | Matarrita, Ring, Ofori, Tinnerholm
D | Callens, Sands, Chanot
Do you play Maxi as an attacking 8 in Ofori's spot and bring in ITS as right forward, if everyone is healthy?

I had this great GIF. But after trying 4 ways I give up!
NYCFC_Dan somethings broken with GIFs. Anyway I was going to say I like the way you’re thinking to swap maxi for Ofori and get Isi on the pitch.
Maybe she got tired of your pineapple shirt.I had this great GIF. But after trying 4 ways I give up!
I think the only way to play Mitrita and ITS is in some type of 433/4231 or benching Heber and playing Maxi as a false 9.
You don't like Maxi instead of Ofori? Maybe it ends up a bit more like a 3-3-1-3. I think we were talking about how in the attacking phase, Dome's 3-4-3 is very much like Bielsa's 3-3-1-3, but with less forward running from one of the midfielders. Maxi instead of Ofori would make it pretty much just Bielsa's 3-3-1-3.
Mitri - Heber - Isi
Maxi
Mata - Ring - Tinny
Callens - Sands - Chanot
Maxi instead of Ofori at LAG takes away some physicality and tackling in midfield in exchange for more offensive creativity behind the attacking 3. Maxi works hard on the press but he can't replace the amount of defensive interventions Ofori brings. Also Mitrita is definitely a black hole defensively and I don't know how good/committed ITS is in terms of keeping the fullback on his side in check. Add to that Mata, and we are offering a relatively soft path to overload Ring. OTOH we could score a bunch.
This happened not too long ago but I can’t remember what I did to fix it.I had this great GIF. But after trying 4 ways I give up!

Let me see if a uploaded gif works.

I submitted a ticket. Can’t seem to figure it out. Hopefully I can sooner than later because it takes them forever to answer.
I’m at work right now.
