"I think, if I could be critical of ourselves, we were a little slow at times building out from the back. I think in the second half, we were a lot more direct, and that caused [Charlotte] so many problems. Some of our players up top winning first and second duels and getting in behind them caused them a lot of problems."
"Our tactical game plan was spot on, as it has been for most of the games since I've been here, and guys made plays. In the first half, it just took us a little bit of time to sort of get going. And if I had the cure for that, I think I'd be a billionaire. So, I think it just took us a little time to get going."
The team's tactical plan has been consistently strong while the team has experienced sluggish starts, particularly when building out from the back. The team became more direct in the second half, creating problems for Charlotte. The Revolution have won only two MLS matches since June, with those victories occurring in their last four games. They lost 2-1 to Charlotte FC, who have an eight-game winning streak, despite limiting Wilfried Zaha in Pep Biel's absence. New England sit 11th in the Eastern Conference on 31 points and face the Chicago Fire next to try to keep slim playoff chances alive.
