"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 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Three changes to the starting line up from the loss in Colorado, but that didn't stop back to back defeats.
11 - Nigel Reo-Coker
Stupid yellow in the 90th minute has him suspended for Chivas game. He should of played smarter knowing that. Kobayashi should start over JMD next game.
10 - YP Lee
Showing his age this season. His cross volley move has been ineffective this season.
9 - Matt Watson
Deserved the start but wasn't pushing forward enough. You can't sit back playing the Galaxy.
8 - Andy O'Brien
Good first game back. Was a little sluggish in the last third of the game. To be expected after all the time off.
7 - Gershon Koffie
Has had an up and down season and it continued this game. Have to realize he is only 22 years old and is not even close to his potential.
6 - Jordan Harvey
Was so close to getting the Whitecaps a draw. Was a little better defensively then the past few games.
5 - David Ousted
Needs to get Whitecaps positive results. Sure he had no chance to stop the goals that he's let in, but the team needs wins. With him in goal we have got 4 out of 13 possible points. That is not good enough but also not his complete fault.
4 - Kenny Miller
Played a good game all round. Had chances and needs to start putting them away consistently.
3 - Darren Mattocks
Was all over the pitch. With Camilo out, the front three didn't lose any speed attacking forward. Showing a little rust from his time off.
2 - Johnny Leveron
Has moved into second overall in total minutes played for Caps defenders. Caps didn't expect that from him at the beginning of the season. Game in and game out he plays almost a flawless game.
1 - Russell Teibert
He had his chances all over the pitch. Showed great touch on his attacking passes. Deserved the official 'man of the match' for sure.
The Changing of the Guard Countdown
3 - Carlyle Mitchell
Should of played more. I believe O'Brien was played too much. Would of loved to see Mitchell in the 75th minute.
2 - Daigo Kobayashi
A step in the right direction to get out of the dog house. JMD's midfield minutes are his for the taking moving forward.
1 - Kekuta Manneh
He deserves a start next game with the hustle he showed in this game. All his close scoring chances hopefully will pay off shortly.
