There were a number of considerably below par match-changing underperformances on Saturday in the Premier League.
Below we list the lowest rated players from WhoScored.com in these matches together with an assessment of performance and details of the players' agents.
- Phil Jagielka (Everton/England) 4.8 - responsible for first two Chelsea goals (Stellar)
- Tim Howard (Everton/USA) 5.4 - should have been sent off three times (for handling outside his area as last man, grabbing Diego Costa by the throat and head-butting César Azpilicueta). His attempts at saving the 6 goals were highly questionable (Wasserman Media Group)
- Joe Hart (Man City/England) 5.2 - made dreadful error to gift Stoke victory and behaved bizarrely in the aftermath of goal (Stellar)
- Chris Brunt (WBA/N Ireland) 5.3 - made error leading to key Swansea goal and substituted (Key Sports)
- Jonas Olsson (WBA/Sweden) 5.4 - made error leading to goal (MD Management)
- Graham Dorrans (WBA/Scotland) 5.4 - error prone, booked and substituted (Stellar)
In that Hart, Jagielka, Johnson (Stellar), Baines, Cahill (Base) and Gerrard (Wasserman) were the primary underperformers during the World Cup, we ask how these players have been repeatedly chosen for Hodgson's squads?
We suggest that you keep an eye on this array of agents.
