Player Ratings: A Disappointing Performance Against Everton

omidbasir- **Senne Lammens (5/10):**
Questions may arise regarding his inability to stop Dewsbury-Hall’s powerful and well-placed shot. Beyond that, he had little to contend with as Everton sat back after taking the lead.

**Matthijs de Ligt (4/10):**
De Ligt struggled early on, particularly during Everton’s strong start. He hesitated in closing down Dewsbury-Hall, opting to retreat instead, and failed to take advantage of the numerical superiority by pushing forward.

**Leny Yoro (4/10):**
Yoro could have performed better in thwarting Dewsbury-Hall. Although he managed to make contact with the ball, he allowed his opponent to regain possession and score. He did, however, defend reasonably well and was more proactive in the second half.

**Luke Shaw (4/10):**
Shaw had difficulty containing Iliman Ndiaye early in the match. While he attempted to support the attack in the second half, his crossing left much to be desired.

**Noussair Mazraoui (4/10):**
Playing as a right wing-back, Mazraoui struggled to make a significant impact, producing only one noteworthy offensive move before being substituted at halftime.

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

**Bruno Fernandes (3/10):**
Fernandes’ performance was well below his usual standards. He made little effort to challenge Dewsbury-Hall and exhibited sloppy passing. He also failed to inspire his team, missing a promising chance in the second half by shooting over the bar.

**Patrick Dorgu (4/10):**
Dorgu did not engage effectively with Everton, and when he finally found himself in a great position, he squandered the chance by shooting wide. He was replaced by Dalot.

**Bryan Mbeumo (6/10):**
Mbeumo showed determination and brought some energy to the team, although he lacked precision in his finishing, missing a clear opportunity.

**Joshua Zirkzee (4/10):**
Zirkzee had the chance to make an impact in the absence of Sesko but was largely ineffective. He recorded his first shot only in the 80th minute, although he did manage a few late attempts, with Pickford denying him twice.

**Amad Diallo (6/10):**
Diallo displayed some good dribbling skills but found himself isolated during the first half. He combined more effectively with Mbeumo when switched back to wing-back.

**Mason Mount (6/10):**
Mount injected some urgency into the team’s attack and was unfortunate not to find the back of the net.

**Kobbie Mainoo (5/10):**
Another opportunity slipped away for Mainoo, as he failed to make a notable impact during the match.

**Diogo Dalot (5/10):**
Dalot provided slightly better balance to the team but rarely looked set to make a significant contribution.

**Ruben Amorim (4/10):**
The choice to deploy Mazraoui and Dorgu as wing-backs did not yield positive results, and the loss at home, particularly against 10 men, highlights a more profound issue within the team.
