Player Ratings: A Disappointing Performance Against Everton

**Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions will arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful shot, which had both speed and accuracy. Beyond this moment, he was not heavily challenged, particularly as Everton opted for a more defensive stance after taking the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
De Ligt faced difficulties during the initial phase as Everton started strongly. He retreated instead of pressing Dewsbury-Hall, showing a reluctance to assert himself. He also missed opportunities to leverage the numerical advantage by advancing more aggressively.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro needed to do more to prevent Dewsbury-Hall’s goal, managing to deflect the ball but ultimately losing possession. However, he did show improvement in the second half, defending competently and pushing forward.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
Shaw struggled against Iliman Ndiaye early on and, despite attempting to support the attack in the later stages, his crossing lacked quality.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
Mazraoui found it challenging to influence the game from his right wing-back position, only producing one notable offensive play before being substituted at halftime.

**Casemiro (4/10):**
Casemiro delivered a lackluster performance, failing to disrupt Everton’s flow effectively and missing a decent scoring opportunity. He was substituted shortly after receiving a yellow card.

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
Fernandes had a disappointing outing by his usual standards. He made little effort to contain Dewsbury-Hall, highlighting some risks of his deeper role. His passing was also erratic, and he squandered a promising chance by shooting over the bar in the second half.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not put enough pressure on Everton and, when he found himself in a prime position, he failed to capitalize, shooting wide. He was replaced by Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo displayed determination and added some energy to the attack, though he was guilty of poor finishing, missing a key opportunity.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Zirkzee had the chance to shine in the absence of Sesko but struggled to make an impact. It wasn’t until the 80th minute that he registered his first shot, although he did have a few late attempts that were thwarted by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
Diallo showcased his dribbling skills but was largely isolated in the first half. He had a better connection with Mbeumo after being moved to wing-back.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
Mount injected some urgency into the team and was unfortunate not to score an equalizer.

**Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):**
Mainoo missed another opportunity to impress Amorim, contributing little overall.

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
Dalot provided some balance to the team but seldom looked like he could make a significant impact.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
The decision to deploy Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs proved ineffective. The loss at home to a ten-man side emphasizes a larger issue within the team.
