Top 2 Bottom 2: Whitecaps steal the victory
by Aaron Campbell, @AaCamp81
Top 2
David Ousted

He was credited with five saves and three of them where high quality. He was able to come out and cut down angles and make himself big. Got his arms on a few of them to make sure he kept the score in the Whitecaps favour.
Last year he was the most underrated keeper in MLS and he has stepped up and some say is even better this season. The whole season this year depends on Ousted being healthy and being able to play all the games.
Robert Earnshaw
It showed on his game winning goal he has the football IQ to settle into the open spots on the field and put himself in spots where if he gets the ball he will have a solid scoring opportunity.
Earnshaw will be an important substitute this season for the Whitecaps. He fills the need the team has had since Kenny Miller left early last season.
Bottom 2
Erik Hurtado

Didn’t show enough to take the spot away from Kekuta Manneh in my opinion. Manneh offers more offensive push than Hurtado and the Whitecaps as a team are built better with Manneh pushing forward.
Gershon Koffie

With the great showing of Deybi Flores and Carl Robinson telling everyone who would listen about how special he is, Koffie may be falling further down the depth chart.
