You make a persuasive case. That said, he needs to pad his stats against Seattle after he and his teammates stopped scoring for two critical home games. Also, the other top players in MLS get way more national publicity, giving them an edge.
Assuming LAFC beats Vancouver tomorrow (hardly a given) and Evander contributes to defeating the Sounders, he will have propelled the Timbers into a home playoff match. It could be the difference he needs to win the award.
Exactly. His case isn't dead despite the last two games. He plays in the highest-profile match on Decision Day. It would be an incredible final impression to voters if he dominates the game.
It's criminal that we couldn't get six points against the Texas teams and propel ourselves higher up the table and rendered some of the "where you are in the standings matter" narrative. The wins would have been due to Evander goal contributions, too, but alas, like a lot of this season, it's been joyous and confounding. I have to believe they'll show up to Seattle ready to battle.
