Match Performance Assessment: Player Ratings Analysis

**Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions may arise regarding his failure to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful shot, which had both strength and precision. Once Everton took the lead, he was not required to do much more, as the team’s defensive approach limited further action.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
De Ligt faced difficulties in the initial phases of the match as Everton started brightly. He hesitated to challenge Dewsbury-Hall aggressively, opting instead to withdraw, and failed to assert himself despite having a numerical advantage.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro had the opportunity to prevent Dewsbury-Hall’s goal, as he managed to make contact with the ball but allowed his opponent to regain possession and score. Despite this lapse, he defended competently and displayed a more proactive stance in the second half.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
Shaw struggled to contain Iliman Ndiaye early on. Although he attempted to support the offensive efforts in the latter half, his crossing left much to be desired.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
As a right wing-back, Mazraoui found it challenging to create opportunities, managing only one notable run down the flank before being substituted at half-time.

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

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
Fernandes had a notably poor outing by his usual standards, making insufficient efforts to halt Dewsbury-Hall’s advance. His passing was erratic, and he squandered a promising opportunity by shooting over the bar in the second half, failing to inspire his teammates.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not exert enough pressure on Everton. On the rare occasion he found himself in a prime position, he wasted the opportunity by shooting wide of the near post. He was later replaced by Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo displayed determination and introduced some energy into the match but lacked precision in front of goal, missing a significant scoring chance.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Zirkzee had a chance to leave his mark in the absence of Sesko but was largely ineffective. It took until the 80th minute for him to register his first shot, although he did manage a few late attempts, being denied twice by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
Diallo showcased some promising dribbling skills but felt isolated in the first half while playing in an attacking midfield role. His collaboration with Mbeumo improved when he moved to wing-back.

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

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

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
Dalot provided slightly more balance to the team but rarely looked threatening during the match.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
The decision to utilize Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs did not yield positive results, and the fact that his team suffered a loss at home against ten men reflects deeper issues within the squad.
