Last October when the LA Galaxy season evaporated in the frigid Seattle air, Bruce Arena, Chris Klein and company had some work to do.
With the arrivals of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and Mexican international Giovani dos Santos last summer, the Galaxy had put together a supremely talented starting eleven, possibly the best in MLS history.
What LA didn't have was depth, or a plan B. Once teams began to lock down on Robbie Keane and Giovani dos Santos, the Galaxy were unable to adjust, and the roster wasn't deep enough for LA to make the necessary changes.
