0/10 what a total DISGRACE to Everton, he should be Bench for the rest of the game or sold at January transfer window”- Useless Everton player rated 0/10 after SHAMFUL defeat v Manchester united
Everton endured a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday at Old Trafford.
The Toffees started the match strongly on December 1, but once United scored their first goal, they took full control. Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee, two players who have struggled in front of goal this season, each netted braces against Sean Dyche’s side.
Here are our player ratings for the game:
Jordan Pickford – 3
Pickford appeared jittery in possession, and his shot-stopping was poor throughout the match. According to Sofascore, he conceded 2.78 goals more than expected, highlighting how badly he performed. Every time United took a shot on target, it ended up in the back of the net.
Ashley Young – 3
Young was frequently overpowered on the right, though his struggles can’t be fully blamed on him, given his age of 39. He was outclassed by United players, particularly Bruno Fernandes.
James Tarkowski – 0
Tarkowski was ineffective in defense from the outset, often failing to track runners and lacking the required intensity. His mistakes contributed to the team’s defensive collapse, and his poor giveaway led to the fourth goal. This performance could cost him his place in the starting lineup, with Michael Keane likely to replace him if fit.
Jarrad Branthwaite – 2
Branthwaite had a poor performance, making several defensive errors and struggling with possession. Under pressure from United’s attackers, he often gave the ball away, making this arguably his worst outing for Everton.
Vitalii Mykolenko – 2
Mykolenko, like most of the Everton defenders, had a disappointing match. He made costly mistakes and was physically dominated, losing every defensive duel he faced.
Abdoulaye Doucoure – 3
Doucoure struggled with simple passes and lacked confidence in possession, much like many of his teammates. He failed to shield the defense effectively, contributing to a dismal overall midfield performance.
Idrissa Gueye – 4
Gueye was beaten multiple times and did not fulfill his role in protecting the backline. While his passing was relatively tidy, other aspects of his game were deeply frustrating, making his performance a disappointing one for Dyche.
Jesper Lindstrom – 3
Lindstrom was isolated in the final third, completing just six passes in 67 minutes. His crosses were ineffective, registering a 0% accuracy, making his overall contribution underwhelming.
Dwight McNeil – 5
McNeil tried to create chances in the final third, but his passing was often off target, and he lacked composure in front of goal. Despite his efforts, his execution fell short.
Iliman Ndiaye – 4
Ndiaye attracted defenders but struggled to connect with his teammates. Like McNeil, he had good intentions but found it difficult to make an impact, rarely getting into dangerous attacking positions. Dyche kept him on for the full 90 minutes, but he didn’t deliver.
Beto – 5
Beto had a tough first half but showed determination, putting in a solid effort. Unlike many of his teammates, he worked hard and tried to make a difference while on the pitch.
Substitutes
Orel Mangala – 4
Jack Harrison – 3
Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 3
