To keep myself watching playoffs, I’m rooting for our ex players. Diego Fagundez just got an assist to ensure Galaxy move on. What other ex-Revs do you think will go deep into the playoffs, or are excited to see on a winning team?

I have a 9 year old son who is a huge Revs fan. He wants a jersey for Christmas. I know who he wants but curious which kit would you guys pick for him?

Paragraphs of note:

(Carles Gil) was in the 98th percentile among MLS attacking midfielders in shot-creating actions, 99th in progressive passes, 98th in progressive carries. Gil is still elite. Do not let the club’s poor performance and poor team-wide underlying numbers camouflage that...

Club-record signing Luca Langoni showed really promising moments after a summer transfer from Boca Juniors. Fitting that deal in on a U-22 initiative slot rather than having to make him a designated player is excellent roster building. Using the U-22 initiative for signings like this (near $7 million transfer fee, 22-years-old) is a way high-spending teams can flex their financial muscle...

(The Revs) xGD was actually -26.8. Second-worst (Austin) were NINE goals better (-17.7). San Jose Earthquakes — a historically bad team this year — had an xGD of -13.4. Thirteen goals better than New England. New England’s 74 goals conceded was tied for the third-worst mark in MLS history. Their Decision Day capitulation against Inter Miami saw them tie San Jose with a league-worst goal difference of -37. That is tied for the second-worst GD in league history...

The following players have a club option for 2025: Arreaga, Dave Romney, Andrew Farrell, Borrero, Matt Polster, Jonathan Mensah, Tommy McNamara, Nacho Gil, Brandon Bye, Ian Harks, Earl Edwards Jr. and Will Sands. Another three senior players (Tim Parker, Bobby Wood, Nick Lima) are out of contract...

Vrioni would require a transfer (or buyout, but at 26-years-old and not a terrible contract, I’d be surprised if it came to that). That needs to happen to free up a third DP spot...

I went to a Revs game last fall, and followed this season pretty closely. I was surprised after watching them that we had the single season record for wins just a few years ago.

I guess I want to know from people who have been watching them longer...what happened?

It seems like we have some good players now, but not a good team right now. Something isn't clicking, especially in the final third.

But how did we go from best to worst so quickly, and with some of the central talent remaining?

Thanks!

I will probably stand by this team for as long as I can but we obviously need to make changes got ideas because at this point I think Porter will need to be looking for ideas anywhere he can.

Please take our Annual Player Survey

Each year since 2019, your friends in the first few rows of Section 108 publish a survey of our beloved Revolution players called "Top 5 | Stay | Go" where we ask your ratings of each player on the roster.

After collecting a number of these, we then publish the results. New this year - a "Comments" question, the highlights of which will also be published.

Thank you for participating, and have a great offseason!

Very end of the NYCFC playoff loss in ‘21. I know the xG is low but from the stands it seemed like a really good chance and I don’t know why he didn’t try to hit it low into the corner.
