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, Carl Setterlund (Worcester Telegram<\/a>), and Sean Donahue contributed ratings for the Revs\u2019 3-1 victory over Seattle Sounders FC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matt Reis<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 7, Sean 6)<\/p>\n

Reis wasn’t tested often, but managed to stop a pair of pounding shots. Could have done better to stop Zakuani’s goal. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Seth Sinovic<\/strong> – Average rating: 6.67<\/strong> (Brian 7, Carl 6.5, Sean 6.5)<\/p>\n

Filled in well as Cory Gibbs sat due to suspension. Rendered Fredy Montero and Roger Levesque virtual non-factors. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 6, Sean 5)<\/p>\n

Saved by Alston after he failed to deal with a cross from Seattle, early in the second half and left Zakuani unmarked on Seattle\u2019s goal. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Osei<\/strong> – Average rating 5.67<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 6, Sean 6)<\/p>\n

Solid performance, man marked well throughout the match. No obvious communication issues this weekend. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 6.17<\/strong> (Brian 4, Carl 7.5, Sean 7)<\/p>\n

Didn’t play terribly well. Was exposed by Zakuani twice after the 50 minute. Not one of his best games. (Brian) Alston had a shaky moment against Zakuani early, but made a couple of huge plays later in the game to put a stop to dangerous Seattle attacks. (Sean)<\/p>\n

C<\/strong>hris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 7<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 8, Sean 7)<\/p>\n

Tierney really stepped up his game in the last half hour of the match and got a deserved goal, but prior to that his final pass was a bit off, killing a few attacking chances. (Sean) Scored his first career goal to tie it, but at times looked slow. Under the radar for much of the first half. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Pat Phelan<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 6.17<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 6.5, Sean 6)<\/p>\n

A good performance, although tended to advance a bit far at times. Stood stout in the face of a speedy Sounder attack. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 7.17<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 8.5, Sean 7)<\/p>\n

Distributed well, attacked at will, and played another smart game. Could’ve finished better at times. (Brian) Controlled the midfield and had a few moments of brilliance on offense. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kheli Dube<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 8<\/strong> (Brian 7, Carl 9, Sean 8 )<\/p>\n

Was a sight to behold on the right. Distrubuted well, engineered good chances,\u00a0 and was sound on the ball all night. (Brian) Finally scored and was a catalyst for the offense most of the night. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Marko Perovic <\/strong>– \u00a0Average rating: 6.83<\/strong> (Brian 5, Carl 9, Sean 6.5)<\/p>\n

Scored a good goal, but passing was off and got a needless yellow that will see him miss the next game. (Sean) Played a pretty solid game. Finished well on go-ahead,\u00a0but received an idiotic yellow in the attacking third late. (Brian)<\/p>\n

Ilija Stolica<\/strong> – Average rating: 6.5<\/strong> (Brian 6, Carl 7.5, Sean 6)<\/p>\n

Found quality\u00a0chances and was an attacking force early before he faded late. (Brian) Combined nicely on Dube\u2019s goal and did well on a few chances of his own. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(Sub) Zack Schilawski<\/strong> \u2013 Average rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 5.5, Carl 5)<\/p>\n

An effective late-match sub, hustled his way into a decent threat near goal in the final minutes. (Brian)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
