Liverpool 1 Newcastle 2 – Interesting independent ratings on Newcastle United players | OneFootball

It ended Liverpool 1 Newcastle 2.

A superb team performance.

Eddie Howe’s side totally deserved the win at Wembley.

United taking the Carabao Cup back to Tyneside.

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 Liverpool 1 Newcastle 2 match:

As you can see, seven players received a rating of 7.0 or more, with all of them playing for NUFC.

Dan Burn (8.2) the Whoscored man of the match, what a week it has been for him!

Jacob Murphy (7.5) rated next best, then Bruno (7.4) and Trippier (7.4) only very marginally lower.

The only mystery is how the automated ratings system didn’t give the other four Newcastle players 7.0 or higher, that quartet having been Pope, Livramento, Barnes and Tonali. Those four all having great games.
