We’re trying something new, and asking you to rate the New York City FC players who took the field in the agonizing 1-1 draw with the Chicago Fire. There’s a long tradition of rating players’ performances on a 10-point scale, and while there’s nothing scientific about the numbers this form will generate, it’s good fun.
