New York City vs Houston player ratings

New York City FC player ratings are determined by you the Hudson River Blue readers: Here are your NYCFC player ratings after the soggy 3-0 midweek loss to Houston in The Bronx.

Boy, are these ratings bad.

How bad? So bad, that not a single player is above a 6.0 — Matt Freese's poor 5.8 is the best on the team. So bad, that the Starting XI has an average rating of 4.5 — and all 16 players who saw the field have an average rating of 4.4, a new low. So bad, that six players earned their worst ratings of the year — Nico Cavallo, Julián Fernández, Tayvon Gray, Justin Haak, Alonso Martínez, Maxi Moralez, and Aiden O'Neill all hit rock bottom. So bad, even Pascal Jansen suffered — his 3.8 is a new season-worst.

It tracks that New York City's biggest loss of the season has served up the worst ratings of the year.

And to think these ratings come only three days after some of the strongest numbers of the year: Seven players had their best ratings of the season after Sunday's 3-1 win over Chicago Fire. The only upshot from this forgettable loss to Houston is that you can now put it behind you. After all, New York City will pay Nashville SC tomorrow afternoon, and you'll have a fresh Rate the Players form to fill out after the final whistle.
