<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 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Galaxy? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?</i>
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
<b>STARTING XI:</b>
11 - Sebastian Fernandez
Was invisible all game long. Didn't get involved in the attack at all.
10 - Gershon Koffie
Came out slow at the beginning of the game and came out slow at half. Had some okay moments once he got going.
9 - Jay DeMerit
Has looked slow this season and that didn't change today. Overall, an okay game but still wasn't good enough.
8 -Jordan Harvey
Got involved up front a lot in the first half. Was out of position most of the second.
7 - Andy O'Brien
Failed to pick up Robbie Keane on the game winning goal. One small mistake against the Galaxy can cost you.
6 - Pedro Morales
Had some nice passes to Manneh and Mattocks. Looks like he was fighting an injury. All these flights may be taking a bigger toll on his back then they are letting on.
5 - Steven Beitashour
My pick for Whitecaps defender of the year so far. Was very active at the start of the game and sound all game long.
4 - David Ousted
Made some huge saves to keep the Whitecaps in the game.
3 - Kekuta Manneh
Him and Mattocks linked up well all night long. Had some chances to put the ball in the back of the mesh but thwarted.
2 - Darren Mattocks
He keeps playing well but will have to score consistently sooner than later. Did very well with Manneh and Morales.
1 - Russell Teibert
Had big shoes to fill covering for Laba and played a sound defensive game. Calmed Koffie down at the start of the game and played well off him.
<b>SUPER SUBS:</b>
3 - Nico Mezquida
Came in for Manneh and played well offensively. Made a good case for more playing time in upcoming games.
2 - Kenny Miller
With Morales playing like he was hurt, Miller came in and filled in nicely. Brought a calmness to the pitch.
1 - Erik Hurtado
Was very involved in the play after coming in for the struggling Fernandez. Still needs to work on his first touch.
