After each match the contributors to 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 week Sean Donahue and Ryan Lanigan contributed ratings for the\u00a0New England Revolution\u2019s 2-1 loss to Real Salt Lake<\/a><\/span>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bobby Shuttleworth<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.75<\/b> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 6)
\nHard to fault for the goals. Some great saves and though it looked like perhaps he could\u2019ve gotten to the second goal, he appeared to be screened. By his own admission played too many long balls. (Sean) \u2026 He did well on both initial shots that ended up goals, but the defense didn\u2019t hold up their end. Made a huge save on Sandoval\u2019s header in the 76th<\/sup>\u00a0minute. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Andrew Farrell<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.25<\/b> (Sean 4, Ryan 4.5)
\nNot his best night, particularly with passing going forward. Couldn\u2019t handle Tony Beltran\u2019s cross on the first goal and likely would\u2019ve given away a dangerous free kick for his ensuing hard challenge on Ned Grabavoy if not for Salt Lake scoring. (Sean) \u2026 \u00a0He did a good job defending, but for the vast majority of the game, his play with the ball wasn\u2019t good enough. He was beat to the ball on Sandoval\u2019s rebound goal. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Stephen McCarthy<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/b> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 5)
\nStrong performance with solid passing out of the back. (Sean) \u2026 Another solid outing for the big guy in the middle. He is starting to gel nicely with Jose Goncalves. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Jose Goncalves<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/b> (Sean 4.5, Ryan 6)
\nStrong performance until Devon Sandoval got the better of him twice in a minute \u2013 first lost Sandoval on his 76th<\/sup> minute close range header that could\u2019ve easily been Salt Lake\u2019s equalizer if not for Shuttleworth\u2019s great save and then beaten by Sandoval again a minute later to the rebound on his goal. (Sean) \u2026 He continues to be the team\u2019s best defender, coming up with big challenges throughout the game. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/b> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 5)
\nSolid performance, though his set piece delivery and crosses are still inconsistent. (Sean) \u2026 Played well defensively but nothing is coming of his services, but that\u2019s not necessarily his fault. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Scott Caldwell<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/b> (Sean 5, Ryan 5)
\nA solid performance was hurt by his inability to shield off Olmes Garcia from getting to the ball on the game-winner. (Sean) \u2026 He played his role very well, coming up with big stops and sticking well. His reliability helps the Revs send defenders forward. He was beat to the ball on Garcia\u2019s game winner. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Ryan Guy<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/b> (Sean 6, Ryan 6)
\nOnly connected on 50% of his passes, but made up for it with a great goal, some dangerous service and a strong all-around effort. (Sean) \u2026A great finish on a ball that may or may not have been meant for him. He helped spread the field for the Revs. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Kelyn Rowe<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.75<\/b> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 6)
\nNot his best passing night, but very active and good assist on Guy\u2019s goal. (Sean) \u2026 He played much better for the first 75 minutes before Lee Nguyen was subbed off and had a great assist. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Lee Nguyen<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/b> (Sean 5.5, Ryan 5.5)
\nSeemed to be involved in just about all of the Revolution\u2019s dangerous forays forward. Combined well with Fagundez and Rowe when he had the opportunity. Picked up a needless yellow that helped lead to his substitution. (Sean) \u2026 He used his patience to deal Rowe the through ball that ended up in the Revs lone goal. With a big game\u00a0on Saturday\u00a0and a yellow card and a lead, it made sense to sub him off. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Diego Fagundez<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/b> (Sean 5, Ryan 5)
\nDidn\u2019t see the ball all that much, but looked dangerous when he did. (Sean) \u2026 Not much happening for Diego in his playing time, but his off ball role was key in the goal. He sprinted out wide, drawing the defender that allowed so much space for Rowe. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

Jerry Bengtson<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.75<\/b> (Sean 3.5, Ryan 4)
\nRarely won the long balls sent up to him, often mistiming his jumps and did poorly with the chances he had. (Sean) \u2026 Bengtson had the best chance in the first half, and with his DP title, he has to do better. He didn\u2019t combine well with anyone throughout, but his presence commanded the attention of two defenders, which helped open up a lane for Guy\u2019s goal. (Ryan)<\/p>\n

(sub) Juan Toja<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.25<\/b> (Sean 3, Ryan 3.5)
\nCame on and quickly lost possession and get a deserved yellow card, passive defending on the equalizer. Tried to get too fancy when the team needed to maintain possession. (Sean) .., He came in, had a terrible touch and got a yellow card within 30 seconds. He could be blamed for the first goal not closing down on Velasquez but it looked as though he was covering for Farrell who stepped up. (Brian)<\/p>\n

(sub) Saer Sene<\/b> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.25<\/b> (Sean 3, Ryan 3.5)
\nDidn\u2019t make much of an impact off the bench, then weakly hit a penalty kick that was easily saved. (Sean) \u2026 Tough not to finish off the penalty kick in extra time with points at stake. He didn\u2019t seem to find a groove. (Ryan)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
