There are no easy answers when your team finds itself in a rut. LAFC is in the midst of a six-match winless run - the worst in club history. Max and Vince give their honest takes around the loss in Atlanta and share their frustrations watching the team do things well nearly everywhere but the scoreline. The guys also get their obligatory VAR complaints out of the way after Mamadou Fall was denied his first MLS goal in poor fashion. But after that, it's what you all came for. LAFC Co-President & GM John Thorrington joins us for over half an hour. Max and Vince get through a slew of questions, including how the transfer market looks as the European deadline approaches, will LAFC be looking to use its Allocation Money sooner rather than later, and John's perspective on LAFC's struggles this season. All that and more on another episode of the Max + Vince Podcast. If you love it, please subscribe, rate, review, and share!
