New York City vs Philadelphia player ratings

Was this rock bottom for New York City FC?

That four-goal bludgeoning at the hands of the Philadelphia Union was among the worst home losses in the club's history, and you handed out some extremely low player ratings to mark the low occasion.

The player responsible for NYCFC's lone goal (who could have also scored another) earned your Player of the Match votes, but no one came out of this dreadful performance looking good. The Starting XI averaged a rating of 3.7 with eight players rated in the 3s.

What was that?
New York City FC allow five goals for the first time since 2016 – and for just the fourth time in club history – in a 1-5 home loss to Philadelphia Union that was as humiliating as it was unlucky.

Head Coach Nick Cushing took a beating to almost match his team's, and the referee earned a higher rating than all but one New York City player who saw time on the Yankee Soccer Stadium pitch.

There are some significant gaps between the more positive rating numbers from FotMob and the harsh scores you the readers handed down.
