Bobby Shuttleworth<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nMade a few nice stops, but couldn’t do much about the mental errors in front of him. Still lacks the presence to direct his defenders. (Brian) \u2026 Made some decent saves and can\u2019t be faulted for the goals, but would like to see him organize the first team defense the way he\u2019s shown he\u2019s capable of with the reserves. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nHeavily involved on both ends of the pitch, made good passes, but was clearly exposed on the Earthquakes’ counterattacks. (Brian) \u2026 Some decent crosses, but passing was inconsistent and struggled at times on the defensive end. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.75<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 5.5)
\nThrow-ins still leave something to be desired, but in the rear, he mopped up well and got into good positions. (Brian) \u2026 A couple of shaky moments on the ball, but otherwise a solid performance keeping San Jose at bay. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: \u00a03.25<\/strong> (Brian 3.5, Sean 3)
\nSlow reaction on Bingham long ball was embarrassing; effort’s there, but the decision-making and positioning was painful to watch. (Brian) \u2026 Inexcusably burned on the first goal and struggled with Chris Wondolowski all night. It\u2019s been a month to forget for Cochrane. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nSharp passes and smart runs aided the attack, but late lapse on 2nd Wondolowski goal ruined an otherwise notable night. (Brian) \u2026 Beaten by Wondolowski on the game-winning goal. Some dangerous runs forward, but still looks indecisive at times in the final third. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Monsef Zerka<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 4)
\nQuiet night for the winger, who’s creativity was there, but the execution certainly wasn’t. Temper also seemed to get the best of him. (Brian) \u2026 Passing was inconsistent and struggled to find the space with his off the ball movement that he has in previous games. Shots were poor. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Benny Feilhaber<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.75<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 6)
\nWorkhorse on the attack again; may have somewhat selfish in the final third, but was rewarded with a nice finish in the 55th minute. (Brian) \u2026 Led the attack. Won the dangerous free kick setting up the goal he would eventually convert. Nearly set up Caraglio for a late equalizer. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating:\u00a0 4 <\/strong>(Brian 4, Sean 4)
\nFinishing wasn’t there, and seemed to tire as the game progressed; tried to rescue his teammates too often. (Brian) \u2026 Flubbed an early shot and passing wasn\u2019t as accurate as we\u2019re used to seeing. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Ryan Guy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5.5)
\nSkill was certainly there on his 55th minute rip prior to the Feilhaber goal, but neglected his defensive chores. (Brian) \u2026 Seemed to have a target on his back with the reckless tackles San Jose kept throwing at him. Did well to keep his composure and a fantastic shot leading to Feilhaber\u2019s goal. His defense was a bit shaky at times. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Milton Caraglio<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.75<\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 3.5)
\nChances were certainly there, but his inability to finish doomed him and his teammates to another loss. (Brian) \u2026 Looked slow, caught offside a few times too many, and his finishing was severely lacking. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Diego Fagundez<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5 <\/strong>(Brian 5.5, Sean 5.5)
\nOff the ball runs were sharp, vision and passes were good, but like Caraglio, lacked the finishing touch when it mattered. (Brian) \u2026 Combined well with Feilhaber and Caraglio again. Passing was accurate. Needed to do better on Alston\u2019s cross. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Zack Schilawski<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nComposed on the ball late, and played the role of organizer on field full of strikers. (Brian) \u2026 Made a few nice plays in the attack as a late sub. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Kheli Dube \u2013 N\/R<\/strong>
