I had Padula at 4 after he blocked Angel's shot, then I took him down to 1 after the short corner. Everyone else gets a zero.

Frankie only seemed 50%. He couldn't get any of his crosses over the first defender. Brunner had another off day but it was nothing like the nightmare he had in Mexico. Ekpo's free kicks were very good I thought, and he seemed willing to lead the team offensively, so I think he deserves some props to that. Lenhart seems like a worthwhile player, I don't recall seeing anything from Garey. Rogers still needs to find a way to play tougher. Overall I thought the team looked like they wanted to win even if they couldn't figure out a way to do it so I give them props for that.

My DVR failed me so I saw the last 65 minutes and I'd say that pretty much Ekpo and Gaven impressed me and no one else. Only Moreno of the subs fell in that category. I'll skip the ratings due to the fact of it being a partial game for me.

I don't follow these enough to know if someone tabulates these ratings, but if so, I'd like to change my rating for Brunner to a 3. The more I think back, the more I think he has hit the proverbial "rookie wall". Gino's short corner aside, Brunner was definitely not as "less bad" as Padula.
I tabulate them, and they end up on a nifty article on Crewture that I link to on these threads when the article is finished.
I saw them. Are you saying you want me to lower them? Or just that yours are going to be on the higher end?
I didn't want to do this initially since I was too p***ed off after watching that display. Once I reqatched the game, I realized that we didn't play as bad as I inially thought, we just didn't finish. Grunebaum -5.0 - Didn't have to do a lot, excpet the one time he picked the ball up out of the back of the net. Hejduk 5.5 - Up and down. I'm almost starting to think we get more out of Zayner? Marshall 7.0 - Controlled the back and was robbed on the shot he tatooed off of the corner. Brunner 3.0 - Another poor outing. Not an automatic starter anymore.... Padula 4.5 - Just not doing it for me this year. The extra touch on every single pass is starting to p*** me off. Ekpo 6.0 - I think he gives us more coming off the bench. Gaven 7.5 (MOTM)- One of his best games. Created many chances that we could not capitilize on. Carroll 4.0 - It's not just the fact that he got beat on the shot. Normally he'll take a professional foul for the yellow and we regroup our defense and move on. But even worse, his passing over the last month or more has been absolutely horrible. Moffat 6.0 - Had some nice touches. Just didn't get a lot of help in the center. Lenhart 5.5 -Decent effort, but needs to finish. Garey 3.5 - He is either real good or real bad. It was the latter on Sunday. Rogers 6.0 - Created a few chances. Needed more time. Moreno 5.0 - Didn't make an impact. GBS -not enough time. Bob - 2.0 - GBS in the 89th minute? wtf? Either bring him on and give him at least 20 minutes, or save his legs and keep him off of that brutal field. I think he tried to sneak three points against a crappy team on a crappy field and it backfired. One last thing, on Richards counter attack goal, if Danny O is in, there is no way he gets the shot off. Danny might have picked up a yellow on the play, but he definitely would have grabbed Dane and slowed him down.
I hope Brunner can return to the form he had prior to the Cruz Azul match. It's easy to say he needs to be benched for his play/red card the last two matches, but who is going to take his place? Iro has been inconsistant when he gets playing time.
People can have their own opinion but the ratings seem to be joke. Rogers is listed as the Crew's second worst player since game 19 despite having 2 goals and 3 assist during that time period.
Ok I get that you like Rogers, but saying that the ratings "seem to be joke" is absurd. A) If you're using the aggregate ratings on the front page, Crewfighter hasn't updated them since the second week I did the ratings (you can see this on the top of the chart,) so they aren't anywhere close to accurate with the rest of the ratings I've collected. B) You have to be using the aggregate ratings because the numbers I have on my computer here show Iro as our worst player since he's only been in one game and he was terrible. C) Even the ratings on the front page don't have Rogers as the worst (even though he did play pretty darn poorly in that Colorado game,) they have Iro as the worst.
