"I'm preparing a team to try to win these last four games. If we come out the way we did [against LAFC], we're not going to win any of them. So hopefully, I'd like to say we can learn something from this, but this has been a bit of a broken record this year, some of the mistakes we've made."
"I have to accept the responsibility that we have two of our better players in [Chicho] Arango and [Cristian] Espinoza turning the ball over right in the opening minute of the game that helped create their goal. We have to be better to start a game. They're veteran players and they have to be a little bit sharper."
San Jose Earthquakes lost 4-2 to Los Angeles FC after conceding three goals in the opening 12 minutes, creating an insurmountable deficit. The club sits ninth in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Real Salt Lake, with four matches remaining. Bruce Arena is focused on preparing the team to win all four remaining games and addressing recurring early-game mistakes and turnovers. Two key players, Cristian Arango and Cristian Espinoza, committed turnovers that led to LAFC's opening goal. St. Louis City must win all four remaining matches and rely on unfavorable results for multiple teams above them; St. Louis recently beat CF Montreal 2-0.
