The New England Revolution defeated Minnesota United 2-1 on Saturday afternoon. Let’s take a look at the game’s talking points.
Brad Friedel Makes Six Changes
After the Cincinnati game, Friedel said he was unhappy with the effort exerted by five to six players. One week later, he made six changes to the starting lineup by inserting Cody Cropper, Andrew Farrell, Scott Caldwell, Jalil Anibaba, DeJuan Jones, and Juan Agudelo. It’s worth noting that Brad Knighton and Cristian Penilla were excluded from the 18 after being in the starting lineup last week.
