Chivas USA – Imagine the Goats when everyone gets healthy and Sacha Kljestan starts off his 2009 campaign. (1)
2. New England – Another well-earned point in D.C. reminds us once again Revs can churn out results on the road. It will be even more difficult in Salt Lake City next weekend. (2)
3. Chicago – This isn't the same lock-down defense that the Fire boasted last season. Can it return to that level of excellence once the personnel changes die down? (5)
4. Seattle – I wonder if Freddie Ljungberg threw off Seattle's equilibrium in the attacking third. (4)
5. Real Salt Lake – Better starts are required. Better finishing, too. (3)
6. Kansas City – Deserved one point less than they gathered at Toyota Park. (6)
7. D.C. United – Christian Gomez hasn't played that well over 60 minutes for quite some time. United will hope that hamstring tweak isn't serious. (8)
8. Colorado – Almost another point stolen on the road by Conor Casey and the Rapids. Another difficult team to break down away from home. (7)
9. Toronto FC – Rohan Ricketts is deep in John Carver's doghouse, it seems. This game cried out for his intervention and the inconsistent Englishman remain stapled to the bench. (9)
10. Houston – Stuart Holden deserves a decent run in the side to see if he can find his attacking midfield mojo. The clock has started ticking, however. (12)
11. San Jose – Get well soon, Jason Hernandez. (10)
12. New York – Important for the Red Bulls to kick on from here and piece together two or three results in a row. (15)
13. FC Dallas – Maybe it's time to experiment with David Ferreira in a deeper playmaking role. He could find even more of the ball if given some room to roam in midfield. (14)
14. Columbus – The Crew are one of two winless teams left in the league… (11)
15. Los Angeles – …but the Galaxy will keep them off the bottom, at least for this week. (13)
