Travis, Vince, and Darren react to LAFC’s second 1-0 loss in seven days after a deeply frustrating match in Colorado that featured another individual mistake leading to the deciding goal. We discuss a rotated lineup without Bouanga and Son, the lack of chance creation and urgency, and how the “depth” pieces failed to seize their opportunity, with harsh criticism of Ebobisse and mixed feelings on Shaffelburg and Boyd. We highlight positives like Cabral Carter saving a penalty after Ebobisse's own goal, strong defending from Ryan Porteous and Aaron Long, and energetic late moments from Mihalić and Cheberko. We discuss Roster Rules' Law (all MLS conversations must eventually turn to the roster constraints), and mint Ross' Law (maybe we've failed to build a team and style around Bouanga that can work, and the only solution is to part ways with Bouanga to try something entirely different!????) DON'T WORRY!!! WE ALSO TALK ABOUT SURVIVOR!!!!!
