Aljaz Ivacic - Goes 50/50 in returnIvacic made two saves and conceded two goals in the 2-2 draw against Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactIvacic made his season debut in his return from injury Wednesday. However, the keeper did not look anywhere near comfortable in the net. Both goals that were conceded saw him out of position and unsure what to do. Granted he has barely played in the last year and a half and it will take some time for him to get his bearings. Until he starts showing some form and he feels more at home, it is safer to look elsewhere at this position.

Jeremy Ebobisse - Hits half-way mark to 50 milestoneEbobisse scored once, took two shots (one on target) and created one chance during the 2-2 draw with Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactEbobisse claimed fame in the close draw Wednesday. The forward did not produce much, but he was the beneficiary of a bad period of defense from Houston. This led to the eventual game-tying goal in the final minutes of the match. Ebobisse has been rather consistent this season, but he has not had the best of luck in terms of finishing. Perhaps with him finding his first goal of the season, he could be turning the corner in form.

Dairon Asprilla - Brushes knock off in drawAsprilla scored once, took two shots (two on target), created one chance, sent two crosses (none accurate) and made one tackle (none won) in the 2-2 draw with Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactAsprilla scored a goal and took a knock in the match prior. However, he still managed to start and brush the injury off and he then added to his tally with a second goal in as many matches. Asprilla enjoyed a nice breakdown of Houston for an easy goal. The forward also has four shots, two created chances, five crosses and one tackle in the same time frame. After having a hard time finding form over the last month or so, Asprilla seems to be hitting a stride. Ride the hot boot while its there.

Claudio Bravo - Tops performance with first pointBravo assisted once, created two chances, sent three crosses (one accurate) and made five tackles (five won) in the 2-2 draw with Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactBravo continued his excellent start to his career in the draw. The defender has been an immense presence on the backline for the Timbers. He also capitalized off a serious breakdown from Houston with a 3 on 1 to set up the first goal for the club. Bravo provides it all and he is successful in doing so. He is quickly making a name for himself in the league and it is only a matter of time until everyone knows who he is.

Larrys Mabiala - Picks up second career assistMabiala assisted once, created one chance, sent one cross (one accurate) and received one yellow card during the 2-2 draw with Houston on Wednesday.
ImpactMabiala was not very good even with the entire second half to play. The defender came off the bench at half-time and luckily for him he set up the final goal of the game in the final seconds of the game to close out a draw. Otherwise, he would have been invisible the entire time. Unless you need clearances, there are better options to consider.

Marko Maric - Concedes twice in 2-2 drawMaric made one save and conceded two goals in the 2-2 draw with Portland on Wednesday.
ImpactMaric continues the trend of inconsistency in the draw. The keeper has been off and on over his past five appearances. During that time frame he has made 13 saves and conceded 10 goals. Not only is he averaging 2.0 goals against per game, but he is barely averaging more than that in the saves department. Until Maric can find consistent form and value, it is hard to consider him worthy.
