After each match the contributors to New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of the Revolution players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5 average, 10 perfection). This week Brian O\u2019Connell,\u00a0Carl Setterlund, <\/em>and Sean Donahue contributed ratings for the\u00a0Revs\u2019 2-0 loss to Real Salt Lake<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bobby Shuttleworth<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.33<\/strong> (Brian 4.5, Carl 4, Sean 4.5)
\nStill struggled to get on the same page with his back four. Admitted that the Schuler goal was a product of that miscommunication. (Brian) \u2026 I can\u2019t help but think Matt Reis would have taken better control and shut things down on one of RSL\u2019s two goals, but he was also getting pressured all night. (Carl) \u2026 Blamed first goal on himself for calling for it and not getting there. Slow to come off his line and narrow the angle on the second. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Didier Domi<\/strong>– Average Rating: 5.17<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 5.5, Sean 5)
\nMade some nice advancing runs, and looked decent on the ball. Not much he could do alone about the waves of Salt Lake attacks. (Brian) \u2026 I\u2019ve continued to be impressed by his skill level. (Carl) \u2026 Can\u2019t be blamed for either goal and made some nice runs forward, but struggle to find space to put in a good cross. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 4, Sean 4.5)
\nQuiet, yet solid game before he departed in the second half with an apparent hip injury. (Brian) \u2026 Getting called off by Shuttleworth on Schuler\u2019s goal puts him less at fault, but I\u2019d expected Cochrane to act more like the veteran of this back line. (Carl) \u2026May have been a miscommunication with Shuttleworth, but Cochrane was in position to win the header on the corner and Schuler beat him to it. He also conceded that corner when he cleared a rebound over the endline though he probably had time to clear it elsewhere. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Franco Coria<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 5, Sean 3)
\nPlayed reactively rather than proactively, messy on a few tackles, and probably warranted a red card in the second half. (Brian) \u2026 Like Domi, the tools are there, RSL was just on a higher level as far as communication. (Carl) \u2026 Played very dangerously for a defender carrying a yellow card and was lucky not to have been sent off. Often found himself out of position. At fault for the second goal when he let Araujo run in behind him. Atypical of what we\u2019ve seen from the defender. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> – Average Rating: 5.17<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 5, Sean 5.5)
\nSent an excellent ball to Phelan in the 42nd minute, made good runs, but also found himself in bad positions in the middle third. (Brian) \u2026 Was scrappy and a bit reckless, also got forward nicely a few times. (Carl) \u2026 Had the best cross of his season and wasn\u2019t found enough by teammates when making runs forward. Cut inside on occasion when the Revs really needed him to provide width. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Stephen McCarthy<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.33<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 5, Sean 4)
\nOut of position far too often, played tentatively, and really added little to the team’s form (or lack thereof). (Brian) \u2026 Needs to start doing more to distinguish himself if he\u2019s going to hold down that starting spot long-term. (Carl) \u2026 Failed to make an impact on the game. Schuler appeared to be his mark on the corner, though not much he could do in the mass of bodies going for the ball. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.83 <\/strong>(Brian 4.5, Carl 6, Sean 4)
\nTried to take on the task of defender, midfielder, and striker all at once. Needs to let his teammates do some of the work. Red card was stupid, but he souldn’t have allowed himself to have been baited by Beckerman. (Brian) \u2026 I\u2019ll mark him down for that bogus red card, although I can\u2019t blame Shalrie too much. Should have been more composed, but was active as ever in the middle. (Carl) \u2026 Too much pressure is on Joseph to do it all and with Salt Lake\u2019s tight defense he wasn\u2019t able to. Needs more support from his teammates when he gets the ball. Turnover started the play leading to RSL\u2019s second goal. Didn\u2019t deserve a red card, but he needs to be smarter in that situation. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Pat Phelan<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.5<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 5.5, Sean 4)
\nTried to involve himself in the attack, but far too often failed to collaborate with Joseph and McCarthy. (Brian) \u2026 I always admire the way he\u2019ll stick his nose into any situation, but at some point the skill level needs to equal his daring; another questionable red card. (Carl) \u2026 Unnecessary and reckless tackle led to a red card the Revs couldn\u2019t afford late in the game. Couldn\u2019t get much going in the attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Marko Perovic<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.5 <\/strong>(Brian 4.5, Carl 4.5, Sean 4.5)
\nSluggish in the early going, registered a few half chances in the second frame, didn’t seem fully fit.(Brian) \u2026 We\u2019ve come to expect that Perovic needs time to round into form. Had smart ideas on several occasions, but was also a step behind on several others. (Carl) \u2026 Touch was there for much of the match. Improved as the match went on and had a few nice solo efforts, but the Revs needed more from him. (Sean).<\/p>\n

Kenny Mansally<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.33<\/strong> (Brian 4.5, Carl 4.5 Sean 4)
\nService improved over the Vancouver game, but was unimaginative for far too much of the match. (Brian) \u2026 I didn\u2019t think he did anything to prove to Nicol he\u2019s a better starting option than Nyassi. (Carl) \u2026 Couldn\u2019t get anything going on the right. Looked slightly more dangerous in the second half on the left, but his service in the final third was lacking. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Zack Schilawski<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.83<\/strong> (Brian 4.5, Carl 5.5, Sean 4.5)
\nPut a decent shot on frame in the waning seconds of the first half, but lacked the service to do much else. (Brian) \u2026 He\u2019s always a tough grade for me because he\u2019s just so alone up there. Seemed to play his game though. (Carl) \u2026 Seemed like he never had the ball and, for the most part, that\u2019s on the midfield. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Ilija Stolica<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4.33<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 5, Sean 4)
\nLackluster performance; only threat he found was the give and go with Perovic in 46th that he clearly tried to do too much on. (Brian) \u2026 Most notable moments came when he was smooth-talking the referee, but I like his attitude in the face of defeat. (Carl) \u2026 Combined nicely with Perovic at the start of the second half, but could\u2019ve been sent off for a reckless tackle at midfield and was pushing his luck arguing with referees all match while already on a yellow card. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Sainey Nyassi<\/strong> – Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 4.5 Sean 3.5)
\nWould’ve had a 3 until he started using his left foot – pretty nicely – but on the right. Go figure. (Brian) \u2026 I didn\u2019t think he did anything to prove to Nicol he\u2019s a better starting option than Mansally. (Carl) \u2026 Brought on to provide a spark off the bench. He didn\u2019t. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Darrius Barnes<\/strong> – Average Rating: 5.33<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Carl 5, Sean 5.5)
\nGood performance put in by one of last year’s starting center backs. One of the few even-keeled players remaining amid the hostilities. (Brian) \u2026 The forgotten man on the back line showed me he\u2019s just as capable as Cochrane out there. (Carl) \u2026 Came on after both goals were already scored and provided a steadying presence on the backline when the Revs were down a man, though RSL had begun to take their foot off the gas.
