Player Ratings: Struggles in a Disappointing Match Against Everton

omidbasir- **Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions will undoubtedly arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful shot, which had both precision and intensity. Beyond this, his contributions were limited as Everton adopted a more defensive approach once they gained the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
He faced difficulties early in the match, struggling to cope with Everton’s promising start. Rather than challenging Dewsbury-Hall, he opted to retreat, which hindered his effectiveness. His cautious play meant he failed to take advantage of the numerical superiority in defense.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro could have done more to prevent Dewsbury-Hall from scoring; although he made contact with the ball, he allowed his opponent to reclaim possession and finish. However, he did improve in the second half, showing a more proactive defensive stance.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
He had difficulty containing Iliman Ndiaye during the early minutes of the match. Although he attempted to support the offense in the second half, his crossing lacked the required quality to make an impact.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
Mazraoui struggled to make significant contributions from the right wing-back position, managing only one notable offensive move before being substituted at halftime.

**Casemiro (4/10):**
His performance was lackluster, failing to disrupt Everton’s rhythm and missing a clear opportunity to score. He was substituted shortly after receiving a yellow card.

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
This match was far below the exceptional standards expected from Fernandes. He struggled defensively against Dewsbury-Hall and lacked the creativity to inspire his team. A missed opportunity in the second half further highlighted his disappointing display.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not challenge Everton effectively, and on the rare occasion he found himself in a promising position, he squandered the chance, shooting wide. He was subsequently replaced by Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo showed determination and added some energy to the team, but his finishing left much to be desired as he misfired on a good chance.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
With the opportunity to shine in the absence of Sesko, Zirkzee failed to make a significant impact. His first shot came in the 80th minute, though he did have a few late attempts, both of which were thwarted by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
He exhibited moments of skill with his dribbling but was often isolated in the attacking midfield role during the first half. Improved synergy with Mbeumo was evident upon switching to wing-back.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
Mount injected urgency and aggression into the attack and was unfortunate not to level the score.

**Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):**
Mainoo missed another chance to impress Amorim, contributing little to the team’s efforts.

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

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
Utilizing Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs proved ineffective, and the team’s inability to secure a victory at home against ten men signifies deeper issues within the squad.
