<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 action packed 3-2 win over San Jose Earthquakes? Aaron Campbell makes his selections. Do you agree?</i>

<b>STARTING XI:</b>
11 - Jay DeMerit
Poor game by DeMerit. Silly foul lead to the San Jose penalty kick near end of first half. His ability to not clear the ball lead to the second goal by Chris Wondolowski.
10 - Darren Mattocks
Only got 30 minutes in the game before coming off with a hamstring injury. Did nothing wrong but didn't have the chance to do much offensively, although did win the penalty for the second goal with his pace.
9 - Jordan Harvey
A better game from Harvey than the previous two matches. Got pulled into the middle of the pitch a few times but the Earthquakes weren't able to convert on it. Great battle near end of game with Atiba Harris.
8 - Gershon Koffie
Helped control the middle of the pitch with Matias Laba to shut down Alan Gordon and Wondolowski. Overall a good game to gain some confidence.
7 - Andy O'Brien
His ability to clear the ball in the air this season has been great. Stepped up when he needed to.
6 - Sebastian Fernandez
Deserved the start over Russell Teibert based on his play last week. Added a lot more attacking pace this game than Teibert has done the past few games.
5 - Kekuta Manneh
Great vision and attack on his goal. A lot of players would have eased up after the ball hit the post. Has to settle down in all the crossovers when attacking. It looks nice but not practical.
4 - Steven Beitashour
Another solid game for Beitashour. He quietly shuts down any player attacking his side of the pitch. Going to be missed when he leaves for the World Cup.
3 - Matias Laba
Is becoming a fan favourite in Vancouver. Seems to always be in the right spot at the right time. Forming a nice partnership with Koffie.
2 - David Ousted
Made some nice saves early in the game to keep the Earthquakes off the scoreboard. Wasn't at fault on either goal against.
1 - Pedro Morales
Very nice second goal to seal the seal the win for the Whitecaps. Seems to becoming comfortable with Manneh and Mattocks playing a striker role in front of him.
<b>SUPER SUBS:</b>
3 - Kenny Miller
We now know why this game and last game he looked to be playing not to get hurt. Would have been nice to know this was his last game so he could have got a proper send off.
2 - Nicolas Mezquida
Worked well attacking late in the game with Hurtado. With Miller gone may open up more minutes for him.
1 - Erik Hurtado
Could have had 2-3 goals this game. His attacking speed and pace is nice but his touch on the ball needs to improve.
