Player ratings

Luca Langoni runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 47. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Matt Polster damages knee ligaments — 59 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 59 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

No end in sight to New England Revolution's wait for a win

9 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at New England Revolution has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

20 days out for Walker Brooks after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New England Revolution will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Real improvement from Ilay Feingold at New England Revolution

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ilay Feingold is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

4 matches without a goal for New England Revolution

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad

Words at New England Revolution training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dániel Gazdag is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Jackson Yueill

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Tim Robinson was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the New England Revolution dressing room was either.

Squad

Matt Polster damages knee ligaments — 66 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 66 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

28 days out for Walker Brooks after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New England Revolution will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad

Real improvement from Brooklyn Raines at New England Revolution

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Brooklyn Raines is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Ethan Kohler signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ethan Kohler and New England Revolution agree another 5 years.

The dugout

No hiding place for Griffin Yow

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Griffin Yow, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Jackson Yueill asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Matt Polster out for 74 days

74 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. New England Revolution lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

35 days out for Walker Brooks after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. New England Revolution will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

The wait goes on for New England Revolution

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Dániel Gazdag wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and New England Revolution know it.

Squad

A falling-out at New England Revolution

Luca Langoni and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

3 matches without a goal for New England Revolution

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings

Jack Harrison runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

No hiding place for Maki Tall

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Maki Tall, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Dániel Gazdag

A mark of 7.21, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • The dugout Somebody else is better right now than Ethan Kohler
  • The dugout Dor Turgeman gets picked when it counts

Match

Leonardo Campana wins it after the whistle should have gone

93 minutes played. Leonardo Campana found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and DC United went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market

New England Revolution say no — this time

The offer from Wrexham for Brooklyn Raines was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom

New England Revolution close the window on a squad of their own making

14 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad

Tempers go at New England Revolution

Jack Harrison was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Griffin Yow stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Griffin Yow and New England Revolution agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

CF Montreal tell New England Revolution: Matty Longstaff is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

Walker Brooks steps up from the New England Revolution academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Walker Brooks has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Luca Pepi joins the New England Revolution first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luca Pepi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Paul Yedlin steps up from the New England Revolution academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paul Yedlin has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
