After each match the contributors to <\/em>New England Soccer Today will rate the performances of the New England Revolution players who made an appearance on a 1 to 10 scale (1 horrendous, 5 average, 10 perfection). This Sean Donahue and Ryan Lanigan contributed ratings for the New England Revolution\u2019s 1-0 loss at FC Dallas<\/a><\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Matt Reis<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 8<\/strong> (Sean 8, Ryan 8 )
\nSome fantastic saves to keep the match scoreless. Defense let him down on the winning goal. (Sean) \u2026 Not much Reis could do on the goal but he did really well on a lot of other attempts from Dallas, especially on Shea in the first half. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Florian Lechner<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.25<\/strong> (Sean 3.5, Ryan 5)
\nLooked slow all night and Shea and Castillo seemed to be able to beat him at will. Will need to learn to position himself better to deal with speedy wingers. (Sean) \u2026 He got beat a lot throughout the night but in the end, none of them ended up being costly. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

AJ Soares<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 7.5<\/strong> (Sean 7.5, Ryan 7.5)
\nLost count of how many saving tackles Soares made. The second year defender had a fantastic performance until giving up the costly late foul. (Sean) \u2026 Would have been higher but frustration set in on that last foul. Beyond that, he was easily the best player on the field for the Revs. \u00a0(Ryan)<\/p>\n

Stephen McCarthy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.25<\/strong> (Sean 6, Ryan 6.5)
\nOverall a solid performance, though he was lucky to be saved by Soares after the nutmeg from Jacobson and why would the tallest played go into the wall rather than mark in the box? (Sean) \u2026 When the ball was at his feet, he mostly made the right decisions, nothing too costly. Have to wonder about his placement in the wall. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 6.5)
\nHad some nice runs forward, though the end result wasn\u2019t always there, and was mostly solid defensively. A few too many poor passes. (Sean) \u2026 Tierney did well to get forward at times and had a couple of good services. Best part of all is that he has been beyond sound defensively. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Kelyn Rowe<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Sean 4.5, Ryan 5)
\nAttempted too many speculative long shots and was caught on the ball multiple times leading to turnovers. (Sean) \u2026 Not his best performance of the season, sometimes wasting opportunities with long shots. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Clyde Simms<\/strong> \u2013 Average: 6 <\/strong>(Sean 5.5, Ryan 6.5)
\nEffort was there all game as Simms was all over the pitch, but passing wasn\u2019t as crisp as in LA. (Sean) \u2026 Surprised to see Simms the guy that came out early. He had more giveaways this game than he has all season. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Sharlie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Sean 4, Ryan 4)
\nLooked a step slow, as did most of the team, and lost his man on the winning goal. (Sean) \u2026 He didn\u2019t have the greatest game as is, and then his guy buried the game-winning goal. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Lee Nguyen<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Sean 5, Ryan 5)
\nStruggled to get the ball going forward and often tried to do too much before losing the ball. (Sean) \u2026 He seemed to be frustrated in the first half and then almost disinterested in the second half. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Ryan Guy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Sean 4, Ryan 5.5)
\nPoor performance by Guy after a great showing in LA. Failed to find space going forward or create any opportunities. Caught offside ending one attack. (Sean) \u2026 Nothing special this time, but he worked hard for a full 90. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Saer Sene<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.5<\/strong> (Sean 4, Ryan 5)
\nLooked slow all game and too easily pushed off the ball minus one decent shot. (Sean) \u2026 Seemed exhausted about 10 minutes in. He seemed to be in the wrong spot at the wrong times. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

(sub) Fernando Cardenas<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/strong> (Sean 4.5, Ryan 6)
\nSkied a shot well high of the net and struggled to make much of an impact. (Sean) \u2026 He seemed to play better with Moreno\u2026I\u2019m serious. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

(sub) Jose Moreno<\/strong> \u2013 5.75<\/strong> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 6)
\nPowerful shot and good effort put in after entering off the bench. (Sean) \u2026 Uhm\u2026did it seem like he actually cared? It did. And he can rip the ball. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

(sub) Jeremiah White<\/strong> \u2013 N\/A
\nNot enough time to make an impact. (Sean)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
