PODCAST: Loss to Seattle sees LA Galaxy taking steps backward. A Goalkeeping controversy? 

COG STUDIOS, Calif. — The LA Galaxy are out of the Leagues Cup, and the goalkeeper controversy has reached new heights. Has Novak Micovic become a distraction? 

The LA Galaxy’s 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders brought back some of the club’s biggest fears. Is there still a set-piece problem when it comes to defense? Can the Galaxy win the big games, match intensity with the best teams, and figure out how to gel as a team before the playoffs start? 

On today’s show, host Josh Guesman breaks down the loss to Seattle in the simplest terms. Were the Galaxy distracted by the Novak Micovic transfer request, and can they regroup with just eight games left in the season? 

Plus, why does the Julian Araujo transfer from Barcelona to Bournemouth net the Galaxy more money, and why might a defensive rumor not be totally out of left field? 

Finally, Josh talks about the Galaxy’s spending philosophy this season and why it made sense from the team’s perspective.
