FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There was no room for tact following Sunday afternoon’s 2-0 loss to FC Cincinnati, the New England Revolution’s second straight loss at Gillette Stadium to begin the season and their third consecutive defeat after a season-opening draw in Dallas.
“We were not ready from minute one to compete with these guys. They won all the second balls,” said Antonio Delamea. “Today, what we gave out there was not nearly 50 percent … It’s tough times for us, and we need to do much, much better.”
“The two halves were completely different,” added head coach Brad Friedel.
