Can someone please explain how this has happened........ am I watching a different game to most people :lol:

Whoscored's ratings system is heavily weighted in favour of who scored. It's a good site for actual stats and data but the marks out of ten match ratings are pointless fluff.

That's an absurd award based on how I viewed the game. If there are (defensive) stats which I have not seen and that back this up then I will happily change my view. Right now I can only assume that the goal and assist are massaging the opinions.

exactly, lets just forget about the penalty he gave away with that stupid delayed response tackle. That was the point that put that game beyond doubt...... but ye scored a header so 9/10

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought it was going to be an award for "Twat of the Week", for which HD's tackle would definitely put him in the frame :lol:

Publicise the hell out of it and sell him to Everton.

Maybe you get extra points for wreckless tackles

Yep, just like Garth Crooks team of the week on the Beeb website. Any defender that scores a goal has a great chance to be in there. Otherwise he'd have to actually watch all the games and judge who actually played well.

Defender playing for a team that conceded three goals, gave away a penalty and should have been sent off, but gets in the team of the week because he scored a consolation goal. Makes sense!

Yeah, the goal and assist will hugely skew the ratings. He also won 9 aerial duals (used to be called headers in my day).

Whoscored.com ratings throw up some weird stats sometimes that don’t necessarily reflect the game.

He's certainly not a defender
