I'm assuming they'll end up similar to last year. Back line still scares me, as does the keeper. Add to that the uncertainty with Nguyen and I'm...
For me, the anger starts with the back 6, or more precisely at Burns for not finding better. There is no way Cropper, Farrell, Tierney, Anguoa...
I could probably just quote FirstShirt and leave it at that. Real worried about the back line. Our outside backs weren't very good last year and...
Huh. Shuttleworth giving up a goal from outside the box. That never happens.
Embarassing. It is beyond me how the Revs thought this team's defense was good enough to not need shoring up during the offseason or during the...
Huh. Revs gave up a goal off a cross. Didn't see that coming. They usually do so well defending them. /sarcasm
The difference in the quality of the defense compared to the offense is just amazing. Shuttleworth, Tierney, Gonzalves and Farrell had real tough...
I'm with Doc, I think this team is going to tear it up. Too much attacking talent not to. It will even overcome the below par back line and keeper.
Just noticed this and decided to try my own computerized rating system, just for laughs. Totally unfair as the first games have been played, but...
Great game by Shuttleworth. I've always had my doubts about him (heck, I still do), but he was very good the last few games... coming up big when...
He's barely played for them this year - he just isn't good/interested enough. He's been a DNP for the last month. lol, that didn't take long.
Seriously? Ugh. I'm disappointed they didn't get JJ, but why even bother with NRC? I guess it's a bit of depth at DM, but why bother at this...
I'm not a big fan of Shuttleworth, but any blame he takes on that is small. His positioning was perfect, he came off his line as much as he should...
I didn't mean it as a knock on Taylor. I hope it works out for him. There's nothing to suggest he's going to be the difference-maker the Revs...
Ugh. Is this the best we're going to be able to do?
Caldwell completed 13 of 18 passes in the second half - 72%. Looks like 3 were to Bunbury, all completed. Bunbury completed 9 of 13 passes in the...
I was with you Jon - I thought Nguyen was having a poor game as well. Second straight tough game for him...hopefully he isn't hitting a wall, as...
BTW, I'll just leave this here without comment. The passing stats from our back line today, according to whoscored.com: KA: 80% DB: 90% JG: 53%...
Anyone else notice how bad our team shape is when we transition to offense? Mariner commented on it around the 73rd minute. Every time BS had the...
He's played over 5600 minutes in MLS at this point. That means he's essentially in his 4th season as a full-time pro. I see little/no...
I think so. BS makes too many mistakes. I'd be ok with it if I saw the potential for him to be a true #1 GK eventually, but I don't.
I disagree. GK is a problem. Not sure MacMath is a great answer, but he's better than BS and BK, so I'd take the incremental improvement. I'd...
The chip was almost entirely on him. His positioning and footwork were...not good. His positioning on the 2nd goal was also off. He made a number...
Yup. They also had a graphic show up briefly in the first half that the Rapids were playing with 10 men because someone had a yellow card. :p
Good win. Didn't think we played all that well, aside from Nguyen, Davies and JoGo. Thought the Rapids were awful. Just embarrassingly awful -...
