LAFC vs San Jose Preview: Tight Table, Bad Vibes, and Are We MDS Out?

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 Tease00:23 Podcast Welcome Setup01:34 Listener Banter Sick Travis02:32 Tires Network Announcement04:39 Emmys TV Tangent06:17 Sponsor Break Amirian Law07:47 Storylines Segment Begins08:51 Are We In Hell Stats13:37 Fire MDS Debate21:15 Darren Deep Dive Tactics25:39 Sonny Positioning Problems28:08 What Needs To Change28:56 Player Coach Fantasy29:56 Dos Santos Hot Seat32:27 Early Coaching Search33:46 Revenge vs San Jose36:17 MLS Minute Rundown39:07 LAFC Fan Meditation51:01 Bet It Segment55:09 Final Plugs GoodbyeJoin our Patreon and help us keep making this show.Merch and more at HappyFootSadFootPod.comYouTube: @happyfootsadfoot Twitter: @HaFoSaFoInstagram: @happyfootsadfootTikTok: @happyfootsadfoot Hosted on Acast.
