Player Performance Ratings: Everton vs. United

**Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions may arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s shot, which was executed with impressive power and precision. Beyond that moment, his involvement was minimal as Everton adopted a more defensive stance after taking the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
He faced difficulties early on during Everton’s aggressive start. Instead of challenging Dewsbury-Hall, he opted to retreat, failing to capitalize on United’s numerical advantage by stepping up to the occasion.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro could have done more to thwart Dewsbury-Hall’s efforts, as he managed to get a foot on the ball but subsequently allowed his opponent to regain possession and score. However, he defended relatively well and played more assertively in the second half.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
Shaw found it challenging to contain Iliman Ndiaye initially. Although he attempted to support the attack in the second half, his crosses failed to meet the necessary quality.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
Mazraoui struggled to influence the game as a right wing-back, contributing just one notable move down the flank before being substituted at halftime.

**Casemiro (4/10):**
Delivering a subdued performance, Casemiro did not disrupt Everton’s play effectively and squandered a decent opportunity to score. He was substituted shortly after receiving a yellow card.

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
Fernandes had a notably poor game by his usual standards, failing to halt Dewsbury-Hall effectively—a consequence of his deeper role. His passing was inconsistent, and he was unable to uplift his teammates, missing a clear chance by shooting over the bar in the second half.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not challenge Everton sufficiently. On his one opportunity to make an impact—a promising position—he missed the target, shooting wide of the near post before being replaced by Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo displayed determination and provided some energy to the team, although he failed to convert a good chance, slicing an opportunity wide.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Zirkzee had the opportunity to make an impression in Sesko’s absence but was largely ineffective, not registering a shot until the 80th minute, although he did manage a few late attempts that were thwarted by Pickford.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
While Diallo demonstrated some impressive dribbling skills, he was isolated in the first half in the attacking midfield role. His performance improved when he was shifted back to wing-back, where he connected better with Mbeumo.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
Mount infused the team with urgency and aggression going forward, coming close to equalizing with a near miss.

**Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):**
Mainoo missed another opportunity to leave a positive impression on Amorim, as his contributions were minimal throughout the match.

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
Dalot provided slightly more balance to the team but rarely appeared to be a game-changer.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
The decision to deploy Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs did not yield positive results. The fact that his team suffered a home defeat against a side reduced to ten men signals a significant underlying issue.
