Javier Hernández does not raise his head. After a great start in the MLS that led him to fight for the scoring leadership, the Mexican has stagnated and has six league games without scoring, and seven if we add his last game in the US Open Cup. Chicharito is having a good time badly and the LA Galaxy, without his goals, begins to suffer.

The Angelenos tied one goal against Minnesota United on the date 12 it’s from the season. A penalty from Sacha Kljestan at 83′ was contested four minutes later by Robin Lod. And in that period of time Chicharito left the field , exactly at 86′, when the LA Galaxy thought they had the victory in their pocket.

There were no three points for LA, and no goal for Chicharito, who was also scoreless against Chicago Fire, Nashville FC, Real Salt Lake, Austin FC, FC Dallas and Minnesota United. Six games in the MLS.

The duel against San Diego Loyal (US Open Cup) makes seven games without a goal for the Mexican , who was left with five goals and is already surpassed by 11 players in the scoring table led by Jesús Ferreira with nine.

What’s wrong with Chicharito? After more than a year with outstanding performances, it has indisputably lost strength, and with it arguments to continue in the debate regarding whether should be in El Tri or not. Javier Hernández needs to reconnect with the goal as soon as possible.
