Player ratings

Carles Gil runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Matt Turner keeps New England Revolution in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

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

4 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

Luca Langoni in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New England Revolution this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Columbus Crew take the points off New England Revolution

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

No hiding place for Mamadou Fofana

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

Player ratings

One of those days for Dor Turgeman

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.39, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

One of those days for Leonardo Campana

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

Isaias Galván knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Isaias Galván trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Matt Turner

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Luca Langoni runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at New England Revolution

Luca Langoni 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.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Jackson Yueill

Defensive actions: 24. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Brayan Ceballos

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 24 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Mamadou Fofana

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 21 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

No hiding place for Jackson Yueill

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

Match

Alhassan Yusuf the difference as New England Revolution beat Orlando City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Alhassan Yusuf. 1‑0 against Orlando City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Tempers go at New England Revolution

Brooklyn Raines 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.

The terraces

Everybody has an opinion about Matt Turner

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Match

New England Revolution out of the cup

Atlanta United FC ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Squad

Matt Turner keeps New England Revolution in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

The terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 8 of the 26 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Squad

Luca Langoni in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at New England Revolution this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

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

Match

New England Revolution come up short against Inter Miami CF

Inter Miami CF left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

The one thing Luca Langoni could not do

Shots: 8, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings

Marcos Zambrano keeps on missing

Shots: 5, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.
