New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers — here are your NYCFC player ratings grades from New York City’s electric 2-1 win over Nashville SC at Citi Field in the World’s Borough on Saturday, April 15.
Starting XI
Gabriel Segal (off 68′) – 5.6
Readers are understandably impatient with the No 9 situation. At the very least, Segal’s involvement these days allows Talles Magno to play in his natural position, freeing up the Brazilian to do what he does best. But, at some point, Segal is going to have to get on the scoresheet to win the hearts of fans. Fotmob was more impressed, giving him a 7.2
Talles Magno (off 83′) – 6.3
Despite playing most of the match out wide (where we all want him), Talles Magno didn’t quite have his usual magic. With that said, he still managed to have THAT moment, where he took on two players by himself, megging one of them, and leaving it for Mitja Ilenic to swing it to Keaton Parks for the opening goal. A great game? Maybe not. But a great game-changing moment? Absolutely. Fotmob handed him a 7.0.
