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 Brian O\u2019Connell contributed ratings for the New England Revolution\u2019s 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls on Saturday<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bobby Shuttleworth <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 4.5)
\nLittle he could do on both of Richards\u2019 goals, and wasn\u2019t really tested. Distribution could\u2019ve been better, and lucky not to get a red on the McCarty \u201cdive.\u201d (Brian) \u2026 Little he could do on the two goals, but was lucky not to have given up a penalty at the end of the half. One highlight was a late breakaway he thwarted by coming bravely off his line to pluck the ball off Dane Richard\u2019s feet. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 6)
\nEncouraging performance for the nicked up defender; runs were sharper, and had a decent ball to Cariglio in the first half. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 Beaten by Joel Lindpere on the final goal, soiling an otherwise strong performance. Mostly solid defensively and sent in a pair of nice crosses, including one that Shalrie Joseph flicked on to Caraglio for what could\u2019ve been his hattrick. (Sean)<\/p>\n

A.J. Soares<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.25<\/strong> (Brian 3, Sean 3.5)
\nBeaten on first goal, and caught ball-watching on the second; didn\u2019t seem as comfortable without Reis on the field. (Brian) \u2026 Caught ball-watching, allowing Richards to sneak in behind him for the final goal. Out of position on Dax McCarty\u2019s breakaway as well. Decent performance otherwise, but those were two key mistakes. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Ryan Cochrane<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3.75<\/strong> (Brian 3.5, Sean 4)
\nMuch like his centerback partner, Cochrane didn\u2019t look like he belonged on the field against the likes of Richards and Agudelo. Also lucky not to draw a penalty on Richards in second half. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 Burned by Richards for the Red Bulls first goal and needed to read the situation better and stay back on McCarty\u2019s chance. New York\u2019s pacy front line caused him problems. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.75<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 5.5)
\nAdmirable performance against Ballouchy and pushed forward a bit; made good decisions, and snuffed out a dangerous chance in the 79th minute. (Brian) \u2026 A few shaky moments, but overall held his own at left back. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Zak Boggs<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5.5 Sean 4.5)
\nHis touches were somewhat awkward, but his defensive efforts were noticeable. (Brian) \u2026 Service was poor and played too slow in the final third. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6.25<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 6.5)
\nWasn\u2019t at his best, but the skipper\u2019s passes and support were sensational. (Brian) \u2026 Held the midfield together. Passing was very sharp and alert in the attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Benny Feilhaber<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 5.5)
\nLooked ready to spring some attacks, but was continually stifled. His free kicks were lacking, to say the least. (Brian) \u2026 One great shot that nearly put the Revs back up by two late, but set pieces were poor and passing wasn\u2019t sharp at times. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kenny Mansally<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 4.5)
\nService was pretty good, and caused some havoc against Chris Albright; that said, his two yellows put the club in a precarious position. \u00a0(Brian) \u2026 An active, strong performance including a good assist on Feilhaber\u2019s goal, was ruined by his needless red card. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Rajko Lekic <\/strong>\u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nPartnered well with Cariglio, and amazingly wasn\u2019t called offside once; would\u2019ve liked to have seen him get a shot on goal, though. (Brian) \u2026 Seemed to provide a good partner for Caraglio, but didn\u2019t see many chances himself until he made way for McCarthy after Mansally\u2019s red. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Milton Caraglio<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 8<\/strong> (Brian 8, Sean 8 )
\nVery possible he could\u2019ve had four goals on the night, but two ain\u2019t shabby. His second and third efforts on the first goal, and his positioning on the second were world-class. (Brian) \u2026 Two great goals for New England. Only qualm is he should\u2019ve had a third. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Stephen McCarthy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4<\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 4)
\nSeems to struggle in the substitute\u2019s role; looked out of sync with his teammates. (Brian) \u2026 Brought on to help the Revs hold the lead, but passing was poor and didn\u2019t help to shore up the midfield. (Sean)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
