Matt Reis<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5 <\/strong>(Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nDistribution was better this week, but wasn’t spectacular by any stretch. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 Could\u2019ve come off his line to prevent Salt Lake\u2019s first goal, nothing he could do on the second.\u00a0 Did well under pressure on a few back passes, but quiet game otherwise. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Seth Sinovic<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.5 <\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 5)
\nExperienced some turbulence outside of the defending third; otherwise did a decent job on the left (Brian) \u2026 Solid defensively, but a lot of turnovers when he got involved in the offense. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Osei<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.5<\/strong> <\/strong>(Brian 3, Sean 4)
\nFar too much freelancing; was clearly beaten on the Borchers goal. (Brian) \u2026 Poor marking on the first set piece and a few shaky moments against Espindola. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 6)
\nHad a quiet game, but held his own against Beckerman and Saborio. (Brian) \u2026 Good performance. Did well covering for Tierney when he was out of position or beat. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5 <\/strong>(Brian 6, Sean 4)
\nDid well to push up and join the attack. Passed well and tracked back when necessary. (Brian) \u2026 Struggled against Espindola early on and was caught forward a few times. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kenny Mansally <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6.25<\/strong> (Brian 6.5, Sean 6)
\nConfident, passed well, and greatly aided the attack, which kept Revs balanced throughout the game. (Brian) \u2026 Some great runs going forward. Has really made the starting spot at left midfield his. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Pat Phelan<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 7.5<\/strong> (Brian, 7.5, Sean 7.5)
\nThe match of his career- decisive, eager to advance, and a physical presence in the middle. (Brian) \u2026 His best performance of the season. Created a lot of turnovers and made several hard, but fair challenges to win the ball for the Revs. His high pressure, especially early in the match, really aided the Revs attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: \u00a06.75<\/strong> (Brian 7, Sean 6.5)
\nCrisp passing, anchored the midfield extremely well. All-around impressive effort. (Brian) \u2026 Along with Phelan, did a good job patrolling the midfield and helping the Revs keep possession against one of the best teams in the league. \u00a0(Sean)<\/p>\n

Sainey Nyassi<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.75<\/strong> (Brian 7, Sean 6.5)
\nA one-man attack – took good shots, maneuvered well in the attacking third, and provided excellent service. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 Some excellent runs down the right flank and a good goal, but should\u2019ve been more unselfish on his 20th<\/sup> minute chance. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Marko Perovic<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 6)
\nFound teammates early with precise passing, but was overshadowed by the Gambians. (Brian) \u2026 Dangerous set pieces and some impressive creativity, especially in setting up Mansally for a run on the left flank in the second half. Final pass was lacking in a few situations. \u00a0(Sean)<\/p>\n

Ilija Stolica<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 5.5)
\nAnother silent, yet solid game up top; good on defense as well. (Brian)\u00a0 \u2026 Looked good early, but his contributions faded as the match went on. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Kheli Dube <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6.25<\/strong> (Brian 6.5, Sean 6)
\nparked the offense, combined well with Gambians. Could’ve been a game-changer had he started. (Brian) \u2026 Provided a spark of the bench and made since nice passes in tight spaces to set up Nyassi for a few chances (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Jason Griffiths<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 4)
\nAdded little to the midfield; missing completely during crunch time. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 Failed to make an impact on the game. (Sean)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
