Revolution 2-0 Columbus - Player Ratings and Man of the Match

Bobby Shuttleworth - Average Rating 6.5 (Corey 6.5, Abram, 6.5, Jake 6.5)

Corey: Back to his shut-out ways. This was a good, commanding performance from Bobby. Abram: Tested a few times, stood up well. Jake: Didn't have a lot of shot stopping to do, but commanded his area well.

Darrius Barnes - Average Rating 5.33 (Corey 5.5, Abram 5, Jake 5.5)

Corey: Did well to get into the attack but didn't overly impress me on defense nor overall for that matter. Abram: Didn't exactly get in on the attack, but did do well defending, allowed Tierney to be used in midfield so there's that. Jake: Decent defensively, not much in distribution or on offense. 5/11 on Throw-Ins is an odd tidbit.

Jose Goncalves - Average Rating 7.83 (Corey 7, Abram 8, Jake 8.5)

Corey: Made up for his mulligan on Wednesday with a kickass performance and hell of a goal. Abram: Probably should have had at least one yellow, but him scoring the game winner, and helping keep a clean sheet more than makes up for Wednesday's disastrous performance. Jake: Found the right net this week, seems to have a short memory for that rare horrendous game.

A.J. Soares - Average Rating 5.33 (Corey 6, Abram 4, Jake 6)

Corey: Pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. I like his spunk, but it's clearly been a while for A.J. Abram: Hopefully he gets better. Too many long balls out of the back. That said, he was equally responsible for JoGo's game winner. Jake: Still working out some rust, needs to do better with distribution going forward.

Andrew Farrell - Average Rating 5.83 (Corey 7, Abram 5.5, Jake 5)

Corey: Thought he had a great game. Excellent on the attack. Abram: High expectations for the youngster. Jake: Getting better going forward, but making too many sloppy tackles, could've saw red in the second half.

Chris Tierney - Average Rating 6 (Corey 7, Abram 5, Jake 6)

Corey: I really liked him at LM and have been calling for it for a while. Tough miss on a wide open goal, but it happens. It's not like our DP striker is scoring sitters like that (or anything at all). Abram: Got to put away open goal sitters. Jake: One of the few Revs who consistently generated service into the box, liked the idea of moving him forward.

Scott Caldwell - Average Rating 5.83 (Corey 5.5, Abram 6, Jake 6)

Corey: Got beat down a lot and it wasn't his best outing. That said, I think he showed well overall, good work on defense. Abram: So where do we play Caldwell from here on out? Jake: Still hardly misses a pass, still a solid two-way player, needed to be a little more assertive in the attack.

Clyde Simms - Average Rating 4.5 (Corey 4.5, Abram 5, Jake 4)

Corey: He was playing? Abram: Calm, as always, helped stop several Columbus attacks, but the team looked way better going forward when he was taken off. Jake: He just doesn't do much when he's on the field, gets out-shined by the rest of the midfield.

Kelyn Rowe - Average Rating 5 (Corey 6, Abram 4, Jake 5)

Corey: Much preferred in the CAM spot. Did really well but could have found a way to be more active on the attack. In time, I think it'll come. Abram: Not sure what happened, at times I even forgot he was out there - in a bad way. Jake: Didn't get the ball enough but when he did, the attack usually stalled out.

Chad Barrett - Average Rating 5.83 (Corey 6, Abram 5.5, Jake 6)

Corey: Very active both offensively and defensively. I'm a fan of Chad out wide. Abram: Surprisingly happy with him on the flank, but prefer him as a forward. Jake: He can run for days, great box to box game for him all around.

Dimitry Imbongo - Average Rating 4.83 (Corey 5.5, Abram 4.5, Jake 4.5)

Corey: Was decent and had some good hold-up work, but got a little too selfish with his decisions. Still WAY better than Jerry Whatshisface. Abram: Took some good touches, but also took too many touches as opposed to either passing or shooting. Jake: Didn't do enough on the hold-up play, looks to shoot too much. Still a great physical presence.

Lee Nguyen (sub) - Average Rating 7 (Corey 7, Abram 7, Jake 7)

Corey: Instant impact on the game. Revs needed him. Abram: Two assists in a short amount of time. The guy still hasn't shown me what made me love him last year, but he's getting better. Jake: Immediately injected life into the game, a perfect corner to JoGo and a perfect pass that Diego ran onto. 2 assists in 4 minutes is a good stretch.

Diego Fagundez (sub) - Average Rating 5.33 (Corey 6, Abram 5, Jake 6)

Corey: Decent but was pretty quiet till the end. Abram: Sure he had a goal, but was muscled off the ball easily. Nice to see him adjusting to teams adjusting to him. Jake: Quiet until the goal, but this kid is one cool finisher.

Juan Toja (sub) - Average Rating 5 (Corey 5, Abram 5, Jake N/A)

Corey: This dude needs a new team. Abram: Not sure what to rank. You know my feelings on him. I'll give him an average even though I think he's far below. Jake: Needs more time to make an impact.
