    Looks like they got about 15-20k to go watch AC Milan at Gillette.

    Not the sleazy attendance bump we were looking for.

    Tierney vs Kamara doesnt seem like a good matchup for the Revs. Good to see Imbongo get the start. I would like to see more of Fagundez, Rowe, & Polak the rest of the year. GO REVS!!!

    This is abominable. With each passing game, Jay Heaps achieves more and more of a Steve Nicol style of play. What's a midfield anyway? Someting to bypass obviously. The Revs have completed more passes to KC than KC has.

    BTW, Ryan guy is useless.

    This is ridiculously awful, the highlight of the game so far for me was Causey candidly admitting how ugly this game is

    Nobody is playing well; full 11-man suckage. Across the board.
    It looks on TV like most people went home after game 1 and there is zero noise coming from the 20 in the Fort.

    The heart just isn't into it this time around. Ending an era by trading away a star in the middle of a season just sapped what little life there was left in this season...

    67th minute and Jay Heaps stands on the sideline too befuddled to make a sub. Top shelf coaching.

    And Ryan Guy and Chris Tierney remain on the field. He isn't even trying to tie


    Subbing was at least 10 min too late

    REALLY disappointing. In just about every way possible.

    That was boring.

    Once Matt Reis retires, I see no motivation in following this team anymore.

    When a team is down a goal at home from the 65th minute on or so, the pressure in the opponent's end should be relentless, counterattack be damned.

    Instead, we were limp, lifeless, with zero urgency. A couple Tierney crosses, a couple shots from distance, very little threatening action. Sene was totally non-existent.

    Mentally and emotionally, the team never showed up tonight. And that's on Heaps.

    That game was a ********ing embarrassment. On your home field in front of a crowd of people you need to expose to your brand, and that's what results from it?

    Imbongo can go back to the Congo for all I care. When you can't put an open header on frame from 6 yards out, you can have fun in the Gabonese league. ******** off. He's worse than Khano.

    Benny's attitude has lost me. I thought we could build around him. At this rate, we'll be lucky to build in spite of him.

    McCarthy might be a CB for the future, but if he gives up goals like that, he's going to be CB of the future for the Carolina Railhawks. Between him and Soares, opponents don't have to earn goals, they just have to wait for our defense to ******** up on a massive scale.

    Everybody who was begging for Kelyn in posts above: I don't think Rowe would have made a damn bit of difference. There was no urgency, no coordination, no plan of attack. Rowe was only fresh legs on a bisected centipede.

    End the Darrius Barnes experiment. Trade him for a draft pick. Give Polak some time, the kid couldn't do any worse.

    Clyde Simms: you have colossal shoes to fill. Lead by example. When the team is dead on its feet and needs a spark, don't go into a shell and let the bad times roll. Get vocal, get angry, get fired up. I saw Simms playing in central defense toward the end of the second half. That's not your job.

    I brought two people to their first Revs game today. Twice in the second half, I apologized to them for how pitiful the display was.

    LOL WHAT?!? :eek: McCarthy? That goal was 90% on Simms. I would struggle to assign McCarthy 5% of the blame.


    How is a 4-4-2 diamond more attack minded? Formations don't dictate attacking shape; they describe defensive posture. A 4-4-2 diamond can provide benefits in transition, but it can be extremely poor in possession dominance situations due to venerability on the counter.

    A 4-4-2 diamond needs outside backs to be effective. I've probably said this 10 times now this season and anyone with half a soccer mind has agreed, yet Heaps thinks this is the way to play. I like what Heaps has tried to do as a team, but tactically, I know a dozen people with far more soccer knowledge than Heaps has shown. Stop changing the lineup/formation every match. Think about what talents your players have and assign a formation that fits that.

    HINT: It's not a 4-4-2 diamond.

    There's blame to be shared on the goal for sure, but there's no way the last man back can miss a clearance there. If you're not 100% sure you're going to get the ball, you contain. McCarthy and Simms both made poor decisions there, though I'm pretty sure Feilhaber was fouled leading up to that.

    You have to think Bengtson would have buried at least one, if not both, of the golden opportunites Imbongo had.
