Summary
San Jose sit fourth and we sit sixth with just one point between us, so Travis and Darren preview LAFC’s Saturday afternoon match at Levi’s Stadium and why it feels like a massive six-pointer in a brutally tight Western Conference table. With Vince “missing,” we run through LAFC’s ugly form (seven points in eight matches, no wins since July 25), the bright spot of a record number of clean sheets led by Hugo Lloris, and how close we still are to second place despite everything. We debate whether firing Marc Dos Santos with eight games left is worth the shock to the system, dig into tactical and statistical reasons for the attacking struggles, and then reset with an annual LAFC Fan Meditation. 00:00 Tight Table Tease 00:23 Podcast Welcome Setup 01:34 Listener Banter Sick Travis 02:32 Tires Network Announcement 04:39 Emmys TV Tangent 06:17 Sponsor Break Amirian Law 07:47 Storylines Segment Begins 08:51 Are We In Hell Stats 13:37 Fire MDS Debate 21:15 Darren Deep Dive Tactics 25:39 Sonny Positioning Problems 28:08 What Needs To Change 28:56 Player Coach Fantasy 29:56 Dos Santos Hot Seat 32:27 Early Coaching Search 33:46 Revenge vs San Jose 36:17 MLS Minute Rundown 39:07 LAFC Fan Meditation 51:01 Bet It Segment 55:09 Final Plugs Goodbye Join our Patreon and help us keep making this show.
