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\u00a0New England Revolution\u2019s 3-2 loss to the Chicago Fire on Sunday.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Matt Reis<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 3<\/strong> (Brian 3, Sean 3)
\nLooked silly and molasses slow in the first half; second half was better, but was absolutely awful on the Oduro goal. (Brian) \u2026 A good second half save couldn\u2019t erase a dreadful first 45 minutes. Defense put a lot of pressure on Reis and he wasn\u2019t at the top of his game. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Chris Tierney<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.5<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 5.5)
\nNearly slipped one through via the free kick; defensively sound; admirable performance in light of the team’s terrible first half. (Brian) \u2026 Can\u2019t be faulted for any of the Fire\u2019s goals or dangerous chances and set pieces were generally solid. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Darrius Barnes<\/strong> \u2013 3 <\/strong>(Brian 3, Sean 3)
\nBeaten on the first two goals, but later stepped up his performance; overall, troubling return to his natural CB slot. (Brian) \u2026 Feilhaber blamed himself for the penalty kick, but it was Barnes who let Nyarko get the inside positioning on him. Coria and Barnes didn\u2019t work well together. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Franco Coria<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 1.75<\/strong> (Brian 2.5, Sean 1)
\nFlat footed on first two goals, then beaten for speed on the Nyarko goal; inexcusable performance all around. (Brian) \u2026 Flatfooted on the second goal and too slow to keep up with Nyarko on the second. \u00a0Also beaten \u2013 and bailed out by Reis \u2013 on Oduro\u2019s second half breakaway. After a promising start to the season Coria\u2019s looked poor lately. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kevin Alston<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 5)
\nSlow to track back on the Oduro goal; however, his forays into the final third aided the attack. (Brian) \u2026 One of his more effective nights getting forward, but the center backs needed more help from him early. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Kenny Mansally<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.25<\/strong> (Brian 4.5, Sean 4)
\nAmbitious shot in the first half nearly squeaked through; otherwise, it was a fairly quiet day for the streaky striker\/midfielder. (Brian) \u2026 Looked dangerous with his pace a couple times, but service was poor and wasn\u2019t involved enough in the attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Benny Feilhaber<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 4.5)
\nGiveway in the middle led to first goal; continued to shoulder the load on the attack, with mixed results. (Brian) \u2026 Early giveaway helped lead to the penalty. Set pieces weren\u2019t great. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Shalrie Joseph<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5.25<\/strong> (Brian 5.5, Sean 5)
\nPassing was there, couldn’t convert his second half chances; should’ve been a bigger presence in the back. (Brian) \u2026 Chicago exploited holes in the middle and part of that falls on Shalrie, even if he wasn\u2019t directly at fault for the goals. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Ryan Guy<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 7<\/strong> (Brian 7, Sean 7)
\nWorkrate was sensational; shook off some wild passes to score the two goals that almost brought the Revs back. (Brian) \u2026 Worked hard for 90 minutes and it paid off with two goals. Service was inconsistent. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Milton Caraglio<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 5<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 5)
\nPedestrian pace for much of the match, but tremendous work inside the area helped out Guy on both goals. (Brian) \u2026 Would like to see him do better on the header he had and a lack of pace hurt him, but he aided in both of Guy\u2019s garbage time goals. (Sean)<\/p>\n

Zack Schilawski<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.75<\/strong> (Brian 5, Sean 4.5)
\nGot a couple of decent looks on goal, but the chemistry between him and Caraglio was lacking. (Brian) \u2026 Had trouble finding space in the attack. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Kheli Dube<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 4.25<\/strong> (Brian 4, Sean 4.5)
\nFired a couple of shots, but clearly wasn’t comfortable in the midfielder’s role. (Brian) \u2026 At his best when he\u2019s making quacking passing and combination plays. Showed life a few times on the left, though it\u2019s clearly not an ideal position for him. (Sean)<\/p>\n

(sub) Diego Fagundez<\/strong> \u2013 Average Rating: 6<\/strong> (Brian 6, Sean 6)
\nAnother superb appearance by the teenager; instantly sharpened the attack, and could’ve earned a penalty when Johnson tackled him inside the box. (Brian) \u2026 Great spark off the bench. (Sean)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
