  • The Caps Countdown: Player rankings v Colorado Rapids


    Guest

    ccs-249177-140264021969_thumb.jpg<i>"Caps Countdown" is our Vancouver Whitecaps player rankings with a twist. The starting eleven is ranked from eleven to one, from worst to first. Who was the 'man of the match' and who, if anyone, had a game to forget in the 2-1 loss to Colorado Rapids? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?</i>

    [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

    11 - Russell Teibert

    Showed hustle tracking back but was not involved at all in the attack. 5 games in and he hasn't shown his offensive attack from last season.

    10 - Jordan Harvey

    Was out of position a lot in the first half. DeMerit had to cover that time after time. Sooner or later teams are going to capitalize on this. Has been lucky this season no team has taken advantage of his mistakes.

    9 - Pedro Morales

    Struggled all game long. Made more bad passes in first 25 minutes then he did in first 4 games combined. Should of scored on pass from Mattocks or have let the ball go to Miller who was wide open.

    8 - Kenny Miller

    Didn't have any chance to really play off Morales' passes. Rapids defended his attack well.

    7 - Matias Laba

    If he didn't pick up his second yellow he would of been number 3 on this list. Played well and helped defend the MF. Big mistake grabbing the ball to get that second booking. Have to play to the whistle. Don't think you will get a call all the time.

    6 - Andy O'Brien

    Has been solid all season long. Has been able to help control the defensive box.

    5 - Jay DeMerit

    Loved his physical play on the Rapids forwards but still looks a step behind all other players on the pitch.

    4 - Gershon Koffie

    Was surprised he was subbed out. The move came back to haunt Robinson when Laba was shown his second yellow.

    3 - David Ousted

    Had no chance on either goal. Players in front of him gave up. Made some nice saves in the first half to keep it 0-0.

    2 - Darren Mattocks

    Game after game, chance after chance. Finally found the back of the net. Had chances for two other goals. Great pass to Morales where it could have put the Whitecaps up 2-0.

    1 - Steven Beitashour

    Great defensively and joined the attack time after time. Was throwing crosses into the box from all different angles.

    3 - Erik Hurtado

    Wasn't able to get involved in game with coming on in the 90th min.

    2 - Kekuta Manneh

    Being down to ten men really hurt the ability for Manneh and the forwards to attack the Rapids defenders.

    1 - Sebastian Fernandez

    Came in for Koffie and added a offensive spark to the team in the second half.
