Byline: LARRY MORGAN Staff Writer

Forward Herculez Gomez, who scored 21 goals in all competitions, has lost his starting spot with the Galaxy and isn't sure why.

Trinidadian forward Cornell Glen, acquired from Colorado, scored twice in his debut - a 2-1 win over Chivas USA - but Gomez could return to the starting lineup if Sampson uses a three-forward alignment or moves Landon Donovan into midfield Saturday at Real Salt Lake.

``Once I get back on the field and the first (goal) goes in, it's going to be like last season,'' Gomez said. ``One, two, three, four, five One, two, three, four, five is a popular English counting-based nursery rhyme. A common version is as follows.
