It’s been a tale of two stories with Los Angeles FC this year. They either look like a contending and dominant side or like a team that’s yet to find their identity, especially now that Carlos Vela is sidelined with an injury.

Diego Rossi has picked up the slack in Vela’s absence with 4 total goals this season but still, LAFC have only put together 3 wins with 3 losses and 3 draws. Notably, they’re yet to lose in Rio Tinto Stadium.
