Player Ratings: Performance Review of the Match Against Everton

omidbasir- **Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions may arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful shot, which had both strength and precision. Beyond that, he had little to do as Everton adopted a more passive approach after taking the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
He faced difficulties in the initial phases of the match, particularly against Everton’s dynamic start. Instead of pressing Dewsbury-Hall, he chose to retreat, showing caution when his team had a numerical advantage.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
He could have made a greater effort to thwart Dewsbury-Hall, managing to touch the ball but then allowing his opponent to reclaim it and score. Despite this, he defended well overall and was more proactive in the second half.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
He found it challenging to contain Iliman Ndiaye early on. Although he attempted to contribute to the offense in the second half, his crosses were inadequate.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
As a right wing-back, he struggled to create impactful plays, managing only one notable run down the flank before being substituted at halftime.

**Casemiro (4/10):**
His performance was lackluster as he failed to disrupt Everton’s rhythm and squandered a clear scoring opportunity. He was substituted shortly after receiving a yellow card.

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
A disappointing outing by his usual high standards, he showed little effort in stopping Dewsbury-Hall and struggled with passing accuracy. He missed a significant chance in the second half by shooting over the bar, failing to invigorate the team when it was most needed.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
He did not engage effectively with Everton and wasted a prime scoring opportunity when he shot wide from a promising position. He was substituted for Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
He displayed determination and added some energy to the game, although his finishing was lacking, as he missed a good chance.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Given the opportunity to shine in Sesko’s absence, he was largely ineffective, not registering a shot until the 80th minute, though he did produce a late surge with two attempts saved by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
He showed moments of skill with his dribbling, though he was isolated in the first half. He improved his synergy with Mbeumo after shifting to a wing-back role.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
He injected urgency into the team’s play and was unfortunate not to score the equalizer.

**Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):**
Another chance to impress Amorim slipped by as he failed to make a significant impact.

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
He provided a semblance of balance to the team but rarely posed a threat.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
His decision to field Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs backfired, and the loss at home to a team with ten players reflects deeper issues within the squad.
