FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It wasn’t hard to identify what ailed the New England Revolution in last weekend’s 4-2 loss to FC Dallas, and therefore, what could cure them moving forward.
“The glaring negative was costly mistakes,” said head coach Jay Heaps.
In that match the Revs conceded four goals at home for the first time in almost three years, and each goal against could be linked back to a defensive error, whether it was a poor decision or poor execution.
Heaps said that’s been a trend for the Revolution in 2016, as they’ve seemingly been punished every time they’ve slipped up in the defensive third.
