Revs Get Lucky

The New England Revolution were dissatisfied with last week's draw with Columbus, but they should be anything but after their tie at Real Salt Lake. The Revs were extremely fortunate to leave with the point as they, with a little help from Salt Lake's Jeff Cunningham, played RSL to a scoreless draw.

The depleted Revs looked tired in the midfield, allowing Chris Klein and Medhi Ballouchy too much time and space. Those two provided Cunningham with several scoring opportunities - and he blew each one. Hey, at least he was consistent.

Credit Shalrie Joseph and Jose Cancela for playing the ball quickly and creating chances throughout the second half. Still, the Revs have got to find Twellman more. It's as much his responsibility to find space as it is the creative midfielders' responsibility to play him the ball but, with all their injuries, New England need to work together to take advantage of having the best player on the field.
