Season at the halfway mark
LA Galaxy sit 24th in the league with 20 points from 15 matches, dead even on goal difference. Two wins in the last three road games have steadied things, but the table doesn't lie, this is a team grinding, not flying.
What fans are talking about
The "Vanney out" noise has quieted a touch after the recent road wins, but the conversation has shifted. Dylan Vanney's short-term deal after winning MLS Next Pro Rising Star of the Month has split the fanbase, some see merit, others see nepotism. The midfield remains a live topic with Casemiro's MLS discovery rights sitting in LA's pocket while he reportedly nears a Miami move, and Mahmoud Dahoud talks progressing behind the scenes.
