Player Ratings: Match Performance Analysis

**Senne Lammens (7/10):**
Showcased quick reflexes by denying Hugo Bueno’s effort. Although he could not reach Krejci’s equalizer, he made a critical double-save in the second half, first thwarting Krejci’s attempt with his right hand and then preventing Mosquera from capitalizing on the rebound.

**Ayden Heaven (7/10):**
Initiated the opening goal by intercepting the ball from Hwang and advancing it with remarkable poise reminiscent of Beckenbauer. He defended vigorously, building on his outstanding performance against Newcastle.

**Lisandro Martinez (6/10):**
A notable drop from his impressive return during the Boxing Day match; he struggled to influence the game from a deep position and failed to organize the defense effectively when Wolves equalized.

**Luke Shaw (6/10):**
Displayed solid defensive skills, but his corner deliveries were lackluster, detracting from his overall performance.

**Diogo Dalot (6/10):**
Less effective in a wing-back role, he struggled to create scoring opportunities but defended with diligence.

**Manuel Ugarte (5/10):**
Displayed sloppiness in possession, reinforcing the club’s need for a dedicated holding midfielder.

**Casemiro (5/10):**
His passing was subpar, and he did not provide the usual strength and security in midfield.

**Patrick Dorgu (5/10):**
After a strong performance against Newcastle, he was less impactful in this match, leaving Krejci unmarked at a crucial moment.

**Matheus Cunha (5/10):**
Failed to make an impact against his former team, not living up to early comparisons with Cantona and not stepping up when needed.

**Benjamin Sesko (5/10):**
Started brightly and could have scored multiple times in the first half, hitting the post and missing narrowly. His finishing has become a growing concern, and his second-half efforts lacked effectiveness.

**Joshua Zirkzee (5/10):**
His solitary goal was largely aided by a deflection and Heaven’s skillful dribbling, marking the only highlight of his game. A critical error in his clearance contributed to Wolves’ equalizer, leading to his substitution at half-time.

**Jack Fletcher (5/10):**
Did not seem to fit into the match, although this can be attributed to Amorim for placing him in a challenging situation.

**Leny Yoro (6/10):**
Added a sense of urgency to the team’s play.

**Bendito Mantato (5/10):**
Made his debut during a challenging moment, displaying visible nerves as he misfired a cross into the stands.

**Ruben Amorim (3/10):**
His decisions led to the team’s struggles; reverting to a previously unsuccessful formation, positioning players ineffectively, and introducing young players into high-pressure situations.
