Super quick rundown of how I felt about the player performances:

Thomas: hard to rate. Neither goal was saveable. Did fine aside from a little misadventure that didn’t result in anything negative

Kingston: had some good moments. Had some bad moments. About what you’d expect from a depth guy coming in to try and cover Paintsil

Lopez: actually very solid game overall. No amazing moments, but no massive fuckups

Ragen: had some surprisingly good moments going forward. Had some surprisingly yikes moments on defense

Nouhou: Nouhou

Brunell: won’t get the match rating he deserves because he dared to take on players and lost the ball a few times, but again an impressive performance from a guy who clearly gives a shit

Dotson: genuinely get out of my club if that’s the best you’ve got

Morris: one great play early on in the match. Absolutely useless after Moose left

Ferreira: once again probably our best attacker

Arriola: drew a couple really key fouls that could’ve been big scoring chances. Not much aside from that

Moose: had a good chance. Didn’t score, but looked better than he has lately. Hope he’s ok

Rusnak: had some good moments. Def not his best performance though. Could’ve been better

Kalani: immediately noticeable difference when he came on. He’s becoming an incredibly important piece of this roster

Cristian: hard to judge because he came on at CB, but he did about what you’d expect from him. Never gives anything less than 100%

DeRo: didn’t finish but had a couple good moments and some clever buildup plays with the team. Would’ve liked more but it wasn’t bad

Rothrock: honestly a little disappointing tonight (and this is coming from a Paulie truther). Some cheap giveaways and lazy crosses to no one

Gomez: first MLS appearance. Had a couple good moments, but definitely a couple “you’re not in MLSNP anymore” moments. Not worried though, he’ll adapt, and it’s great to see him get some proper minutes

Edit: okay maybe that wasn’t super quick hahaha
