Newcastle 1 Everton 1 – Interesting independent ratings on the Newcastle United players

It ended Newcastle 1 Everton 1.

An eventually frustrating night at St James’ Park.

Newcastle United fans seeing their team waste a load of chances and Pickford make a series of saves, then the daft penalty sucker punch in the 88th minute.

Looking at the individuals in black and white, interesting to get an independent perspective on how this played out.

‘Whoscored ratings use data from every single Premier League match, over 200 raw statistics included in the automated calculation of a player’s rating, weighted according to their influence within the game.

Every event of importance is taken into account, with a positive or negative effect on ratings weighted in relation to its area on the pitch and its outcome.’

Now whoscored have published their independent player ratings for this Newcastle 1 Everton 1 match:

As you can see, eight players getting a rating of 7.0 or higher, six playing for Newcastle and two for the away side.

Bruno (7.9) getting man of the match in these independent automated ratings, followed by Burn and Isak both 7.7, then Lewis Hall (7.5).

Obviously I am loathe to give Mackem T-Rex any credit but he was clearly Everton’s best player and without him they would have lost for sure, so a bit bemused how he was rated only 6.9 and a couple of other visiting players getting a higher rating.
