FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- In a sense, the Revolution couldn’t have picked a better time than this weekend to go down to Houston to face the Dynamo. Last week, the Dynamo saw their historic unbeaten run at home come to a crashing halt at 36 straight after they fell 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City at BBVA Compass Stadium. It marked the first home loss for the defending conference champions since June 2011. But even though the Dynamo (6-3-2, 20 points) are by no means a team on the skids, the possibility exists that the fallout from the surprising loss could carry over into Saturday’s contest against the Revolution.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Juan Agudelo was well aware of the situation in New England when the Revolution acquired him from Chivas USA last week. Prior to the deal, the Revolution had only scored four goals in their first eight games, and were in dire need of an offensive catalyst to point the attack in the right direction. But even though the club parted with an undisclosed amount of allocation cash for his services (a sort of intra-league transfer, if you will), the 20-year-old Agudelo doesn’t feel that the burden of reviving the offense falls entirely on his shoulders.

Revs fail to protect short-lived lead

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One way in which Revolution head coach Jay Heaps measures his club's game-day focus is how well they acquit themselves in the so-called "fives" -- that is, the first and last five minutes of each half, and the first five minutes after they score. On Saturday, the Revolution were up to the challenge in the opening and closing moments of each frame, but surrendered a Lloyd Sam goal a minute after Diego Fagundez scored the opening strike in Saturday's 1-1 draw against the first-place New York Red Bulls.

The Revs were victims of that momentary lack of focus on Saturday night as they allowed New York Red Bulls midfielder Lloyd Sam to equalize just one minute after Diego Fagundez had handed them the lead.
