With more than a quarter of the season gone, when will those who are under-performing be benched in favor of others who are willing and ready to contribute? When, I ask you?? Anyway, here's some quick. painful thoughts about Wednesday's loss.
Striker Chad Barrett gave us a little insight into what he might be thinking when he watches games from the stands on Wednesday with a few suspect tweets. If he's frustrated, it's hard to blame him for it.
The Italian star has very recently been linked with a move to MLS. Surely he would demand a sizable DP contract and salary, but he could be just what the Revs need to graduate to the next level of competition in the league, both on and off the field.
The Lamar Hunt US Open Cup's play-in rounds begin tomorrow. GPS Portland Phoenix and Mass Premier Soccer start on May 14 in the first round proper. Rhinos enter on May 21. Then, on May 28, the Revs join the party.
Jerry's ineffectiveness at striker should be cause to look for a new solution, or maybe it's a simple matter of benching him for a few games to get him motivated to produce. Or, well, maybe there is no answer at all.
Despite best efforts of The Bent Musket, Sainey Nyassi is still a victim of the harsh will of a madman.
Chris Tierney received a suspension and undisclosed fine from the MLS Disciplinary Committee just 32 hours before tomorrow's match against Portland. Michael Farfan? He seems to be getting off scott free.
Prior to Saturday's match against Philadelphia, Matt Reis took to the podium to give a recap of his experience at the Boston Marathon and on his father-in-law's condition. He also acknowledged the public outpouring of support for his family.
Jay Heaps has sent out his XI for the Revolution match against the Union. Ryan Guy gets a start in midfield, and a certain someone is making a bench appearance.
So, you thought we were done talking about Sainey Nyassi? Oh no, friend, we are JUST GETTING STARTED.
6 games in and the Revolution only have 2 goals to speak of. Needless to say, New England needs some help in front of net. Well, the new MLS Intra-League Loan System, which was announced last week, might just be the remedy to turning things around.
There have been some major developments related to the award of two gaming licenses to designated areas in Massachusetts, including Suffolk Downs, a location of interest to Revs fans. LETSGOREVS has thoughts on that and recent events.
The Revolution have buried Sainey Nyassi on the bench in much the same way they seem to have buried their scoring boots. The real question, though, is why?
With unfortunate circumstances sidelining Kevin Alston for at least the next 6 games, Chris Tierney now has an opportunity to win back his starting role at left-back. But what does he bring to the table exactly & who will be pushing him for the job?
Gone are New England's days of "we will attack!" Now, it is a new breed of "smash-mouth soccer."
It's not time to press the panic button yet, but it might very well be time to let the left-footed Colombian wizard run free in Foxboro.
The New England Revolution are not having trouble keeping other teams from scoring. It's actually scoring the goals themselves that has proven to be difficult.
Although it was against far inferior competition than their last 3 MLS opponents, the Revolution remembered how to score goals today (4 of them in fact) in their friendly scrimmage against semi-pro newcomers New England Force.
The Revs have loaned Tyler Polak, Bilal Duckett, Gabe Latigue, and Matt Horth to Rochester. Pretty obvious choices overall, but were there others that might have needed the experience?
Last week's loss to the Union hurts, but it's not all doom and gloom for the Revs. Going into their home opener, the boys from Foxboro just pulled off three points from a possible six on a real tough road swing.
Early on, Diego Fagundez is not playing a lot of minutes, but he is being looked at by fans as the future of the Revolution. Time to be patient with the organization and the kid.
In a totally expected move, Jerry Bengtson was called up to the Honduran national team for their World Cup qualifiers in the next two weeks. He'll miss the Revs' home opener.
Breaking down the enthralling, riveting, gripping, history-entrenched rivalry between the New England Revolution and the Philadelphia Union...or not.
How a trip to the Laundromat showed that Jerry Bengtson could be bringing a lot more eyes to the New England revolution.
Last season, the Revs were god-awful on set-pieces and got beaten up all over the field by physical teams. The two issues are strongly linked, and here's why those problems need to be fixed to be successful this year.
Even with all the heartache of the last three seasons, isn't it tough not to be excited and optimistic going into a new Revolution season? Here's a quick rundown of key additions, losses, and some predictions to get you ready for First Kick.
