New York City FC player ratings are determined by Hudson River Blue readers: Here are your NYCFC player ratings from the late-night 2-0 loss to LA Galaxy out in Carson, California.
Midweek cross-country travel did not agree with New York City FC, with the team looking flat and unthreatening in a 2-0 defeat against LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park.
There were not many bright spots on the night for the visiting team. This wasn't one of the gritty, opportunistic New York City road performances we saw in Toronto or Philadelphia, nor was it a smothering defensive showing like the late 0-1 win in New England.
Instead, NYCFC often looked unable or unwilling to threaten a comfortable, in-control Galaxy, who found their winning goals shortly before and shortly after the halftime interval.
Your player ratings from the underwhelming performance on the West Coast showed frustrations with many players. Two members of the NYCFC Starting XI received ratings in the 3s, while the average rating of all 16 participating players was just 5.5.
Note: FotMob ratings are in parentheses.
