Player Performance Analysis: Everton Match Review

**Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions may arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful shot, which had both pace and precise direction. Beyond this moment, Lammens had little to contend with, particularly as Everton retreated after taking the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
De Ligt faced challenges early on during Everton’s strong start, appearing hesitant against Dewsbury-Hall rather than attempting to close him down. His cautious approach hindered the team’s ability to capitalize on their numerical advantage.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro could have intervened more effectively against Dewsbury-Hall, managing to get a foot to the ball but ultimately allowing his opponent to reclaim it for the goal. However, he showcased improved defensive capabilities and a proactive approach in the second half.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
Shaw had difficulty containing Iliman Ndiaye during the initial stages of the match. While he attempted to contribute to the attack in the second half, his crossing proved inadequate.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
Struggling to make an impact as a right wing-back, Mazraoui produced only one notable offensive move before being substituted at halftime.

**Casemiro (4/10):**
Delivering a lackluster performance, Casemiro failed to disrupt Everton’s play effectively and squandered a clear opportunity on goal. He was substituted shortly after receiving a yellow card.

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
Fernandes’ performance fell significantly short of his usual high standards. He made little effort to impede Dewsbury-Hall and displayed sloppiness in his passing. Additionally, he was unable to galvanize United when needed, notably firing a promising chance over the bar in the second half.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not exert sufficient pressure on Everton, and on the rare occasion he found himself in a favorable position, he failed to convert, shooting wide of the near post. He was substituted for Dalot shortly after.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo demonstrated a commendable determination to influence the game, providing a spark, though he lacked precision in front of goal by slicing a decent opportunity wide.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Zirkzee had the opportunity to establish himself during Sesko’s absence but struggled to make an impact, only managing his first shot in the 80th minute despite a series of late attempts, two of which were thwarted by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
Diallo showcased some effective dribbling, though he found himself isolated in the attacking midfield role during the first half. His performance improved when he was repositioned to wing-back, allowing for better collaboration with Mbeumo.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
Mount added urgency and aggression to the team’s forward play and was unfortunate not to secure an equalizer.

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

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
Dalot provided a semblance of balance to the team, though he rarely looked poised to make a significant impact.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
Amorim’s decision to deploy Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs did not yield positive results, and the team’s inability to secure a victory at home against 10 men highlights a more significant underlying issue.
