  • The Caps Countdown: Player rankings v New England Revolution


    Guest

    ccs-249177-140264021937_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 0-0 draw with New England Revolution? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?</i>

    <b>11 - Nigel Reo-Coker</b>

    Very slow start. Giving up way too much space in the defensive midfield. Bad at trying to tackle from behind. One of the worst games he has had in a Caps jersey.

    <b>10 - Russell Teibert</b>

    All over the pitch. Not in a good way. Needs to keep more possession in the attacking third of the pitch. Looked like he was still fighting his injury.

    <b>9 - Sebastian Fernandez</b>

    Calmed down after the 30 minute mark. Started linking up well with Mattocks and Miller but it was too little too late.

    <b>8 - Jordan Harvey</b>

    Had a great setup for a left footed strike and failed to pull the trigger. NE attacked his side of the pitch nonstop all game long. The weak link in the Caps defender chain.

    <b>7 - Kenny Miller</b>

    Was playing bad to start the game. Found his open spots late in the second half. Had a great chance on a cross from Morales but another who failed to pull the trigger.

    <b>6 - Matias Laba</b>

    Playing up and down. Shining in moments and giving up too much space up the middle in other moments. Linked up well with Morales and Koffie.

    <b>5 - Steven Beitashour</b>

    Was invisible most of the game. Often a good thing for a defender. Was sound defensively and always in the right position.

    <b>4 - Andy O'Brien</b>

    Helped cover for NRC being so badly out of position. Won a lot of headers in the defensive part of the pitch

    <b>3 - Johnny Leveron</b>

    Played too many over the top balls to start the game. Settled down the box and made some great plays.

    <b>2 - Darren Mattocks</b>

    Great hustle and pace with and without the ball. Had some great chances but still can't find the back of the net.

    <b>1 - David Ousted</b>

    Huge save on a early cross. Playing balls into the box really well. Made three to four huge saves in the first half. Finally earned a clean sheet and didn't let in a questionable goal.

    <b>The Changing of the Guard Countdown</b>

    <b>3 - Kekuta Manneh</b>

    Struggled with his 1st touch but settled in nice. I believe he earned the start next game over Teibert.

    <b>2 - Gershon Koffie</b>

    Was in the right spot and a big upgrade on NRC in the midfield. Linked well with Laba and helped slow down the NE attack.

    <b>1 - Pedro Morales</b>

    Calmed the midfield down when he came on at half. Very nice touches with the ball.
