- SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: http://cornerofthegalaxy.com/subscribe/ - COG LA GALAXY DISCORD: https://discord.gg/drr9HFZY2P - COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- In a bit of a surprise move, the LA Galaxy added left-back Chase Gasper on Thursday, just as the transfer window closed until the summer. Hosts Josh Guesman and Christian Miles discuss the newest addition to the roster and discuss the positional flexibility the "pure left-back" brings to a Galaxy team that needs depth at the position. Plus, what did Greg Vanney say about Jorge Villafana and the recovery he's still trying to make? The news on that front isn't good. Josh and Christian will also talk about the Galaxy's slow play over the last three games and forecast that it will have to end against their Sunday opponents, Austin FC. What will the Galaxy likely do and not do against the highest-scoring offense in the league? And will this be a perfect game for the Galaxy to stretch their legs and run a team into the ground? We've got a packed show for you, and Josh literally got off the plane and ran to record this show. So if he falls asleep during it, blame Texas BBQ. Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there. We appreciate all you do to bring kids into the world and teach them soccer! Right?

That's where the LA Galaxy's winless streak now stands, and they've got some tough prospects coming up midweek and this weekend. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the Galaxy's latest debacle and why Greg Vanney might be correct, but he still can't divorce himself from the results of the loss at Austin FC. The Guys will start with some numbers talk as they look at the Galaxy's play against Austin. Why did Vanney and Jonathan dos Santos both talk about execution after the game? And did the 2-0 loss come down to missed chances? What about the defense? Will they need to be perfect down the stretch for LA? And are the Galaxy even a playoff team anymore? Josh and Kevin will also discuss the chances that Dennis te Kloese gets all the blame if the season goes sideways and why one win really could mean the difference for a Galaxy team that is mentally fragile at this point. Expert analysis boiled down to "score first" and "be a better team." It may sound pedestrian, but the guys will make it sound way more exciting than that. But the base idea is still the same. So for the Galaxy, it definitely comes down to either executing when it counts or being executed before the season is over. How do the Galaxy make you feel right now? Can you take a positive mindset into Wednesday's match against Real Salt Lake? Let's go. Let's get this show going so that we can all find out what happens after the ball is kicked on Wednesday night!
