For the third game in a row, New York City FC took the lead in a match they failed to close out and win. You let your displeasure be known after NYCFC's 4-2 loss to Columbus Crew by taking pretty much the entire team to the woodshed and handing out player ratings that were mostly 5s — plus a 3.9 for Agustín Ojeda, and a 2.9 for Luis Barraza.
The 2.9 isn't the lowest rating you gave to a player this season — that honor belongs to the 2.1 you handed Mounsef Bakrar when New York City lost to Nashville SC back in June. But it is the second-worst, and equals the 2.9 you gave to Jovan Mijatović after that same Nashville game.

As is usually the case, FotMob was more generous than our readers. The algorithm gave the players mostly 6s and 7s, with a couple of 5s thrown in to keep things honest. But even FotMob was unimpressed by some of the performances in Columbus, and gave Barraza a brutal 4.6 on the night – which is the lowest rating from the website for any New York City player this year.
But there are some positives. No, really. Read on to see the full ratings for NYCFC's 27th game of the regular season.
