Colin’s Keys: Balls into the box, cutting delivery to Chicharito, hard work

Colin Miller's Keys to the Match

Tune in on matchdays for a one hour pre-match show and one hour post-match show as Colin Miller and Corey Basso call the action live on AM730. Wednesday’s pre-match show kicks off at 6:30 p.m. PT at whitecapsfc.com/am730.
Here are Colin’s keys for Wednesday’s match against LA Galaxy at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Get balls into the box
The ‘Caps are capable of scoring goals against this LA Galaxy side.
They must get balls into the box and put pressure on them to defend crosses.

Brian White was able to score on his debut from a Javain Brown cross last match, and Lucas Cavallini often finds his success there as well.
Stop delivery to Chicharito
Chicharito is having a very strong season for the Galaxy.
The best way to stop him from scoring is to cut off the delivery to him.

They must stay really tight on him, especially in the box, but be careful not to make contact with him in the box and allow him to draw a penalty.
Only hard work will get it done
The only way out of a rut is through hard work.
The ‘Caps will need to keep their discipline for 90 minutes, and provide a better final ball in the final third to get some goals on the board.
