(Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emmanuel Osei<\/strong> &#8211; Average Rating:<strong> 3.25<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 3.5)<br \/>\nNearly conceded an own goal late in the first frame, did little to thwart the potent Chivas attack (Brian) \u2026 Only played one half, but gave the ball away often (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>4.25<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 4.5)<br \/>\nNot his best performance, looked slow in the first half (Brian) \u2026 Did OK in central defense, could have done better on Braun\u2019s goal (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3.5<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 4)<br \/>\nLeft the flank unoccupied, gave far too much real estate for the Goats to roam (Brian) \u2026 HDC is meant for speed&#8230;he did not overlap wingers. (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>4.25<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 4.5)<br \/>\nFree kicks weren&#8217;t bad, but accomplished little on the attack (Brian) Great free kicks, people need to get open (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3.75<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 3.5)<br \/>\nFailed to settle the midfield, could have done better to organize (Brian) \u2026 Not the kind of leader Revs needed&#8230;he needs to distribute and utilize open space (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pat Phelan<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3.75<\/strong> (Brian 4, Julian 3.5)<br \/>\nDefense was shaky, but pressed forward when others tired (Brian) \u2026 Nonexistent&#8230;played passes to people who weren&#8217;t even there or in red shirts (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kheli Dube<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 3)<br \/>\nNearly non-existent; did nothing to help the offense (Brian) \u2026 Had nothing to show for on the wing (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zack Schilawski<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3.5<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 4)<br \/>\nWithout service, he never became a factor. Completely marked out of the game. (Brian) \u2026 Didn&#8217;t create on his own&#8230;relied too much on others serving him which tonight was nonexistent (Julian)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ilija Stolica<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Julian 4.5)<br \/>\nOne of the few field players whose effort remained for the entire 90 (Brian) \u2026 Had not been used to having Schilawski next to him&#8230;shot probably best chance of first half (Julian)<\/p>\n<p>(Sub) <strong>Khano Smith<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: <strong>3.5<\/strong> (Brian 3, Julian 4)<br \/>\nEffort was missing, did nothing to spark anything in the attacking third (Brian) \u2026 Had one glimpse of genius when he decided to shoot across face of goal but was it a shot or a cross? He needs to find a player or hit the target&#8230;sympathy for injury (Julian)<\/p>\n<p>(Sub) <strong>Sainey Nyassi<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating:<strong> 4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Julian 4.5)<br \/>\nOnly sparkplug in the second half.
