That one guy is pretty enormous. The two replacements are Andy Boyens (horrendous defender, in case anyone's forgotten, and out of position on Silva's goal) and Tommy Meyer, a straight-up rookie. DelaGarza is a good defender, but he's 5'9". We need to take better advantage of the backline's height but keep the buildup low, as LA counters really well.
