With the LA Galaxy senior squad already haven given up seven goals this season, it's understandable that much of the talk this week will be about how to fix the hole in the defense. The reserve squad yesterday gave up a hat trick to Chivas USA's Ceasar Romero, showing the Galaxy don't have any great solutions off the bench either. While Romero is making a great case for his inclusion on Chivas' senior squad (Chivas only has one goal this year), the Galaxy are in a tough bind. Once the Summer transfer window opens, Omar Gonzalez might be looking at a return. It's really this period from now until the transfer window that the Galaxy need some help.

Of course, all of this fretting and worrying might be for nothing once Leonardo makes his return. For a club that had everything together last season, this one has yet to find it's center of gravity. Let's see what the papers are making of all this:
