Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Paul Pulisic

36 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. New England Revolution lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

Chastening afternoon for New England Revolution

A 0‑3 beating by FC Cincinnati was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

A fracture rules Mark Tillman out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason New England Revolution will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Tempers go at New England Revolution

Cristiano Oliveira 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

Words at New England Revolution training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Giovanni D'Agostino 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.

Boardroom

Nobody left the New England Revolution dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Match

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

20 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

Walker Tillman damages knee ligaments — 37 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 37 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

Giovanni D'Agostino falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Paul Pulisic runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

New England Revolution come up short against CF Montreal

CF Montreal left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

Tempers go at New England Revolution

Owen Ferreira 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.
