No prizes for guessing the goalkeeper who must brazenly stunk the place out this week, but there are a few surprises further forward with Newcastle and Brighton players among those involved.
Here’s the worst team of the Premier League weekend according to Whoscored ratings…
GK: Edouard Mendy – 5.92
The WhoScored lads are definitely getting more generous in their old age. Five-point-something ratings are going the way of white dog turds, soon to exist only in what would surely in commercial terms prove disastrously niche Peter Kay “Who remembers…” routines. Hats off, then, to Edouard Mendy who managed a 5.92 for his hilarious one-man blooper reel at Leeds. Just get it sent, lad.
RB: Aaron Hickey – 6.20
I mean, look at that. A 6.2 is nothing to shout about for sure, but it’s an unlucky right-back who finds himself in this team on the back of such a score. Must have been a vintage weekend for right-backs but not everyone is Kieran Trippier, surely. Did get the runaround from Bobby Decordova-Reid, mind, in what would have been one of the standout games in a regular weekend of Barclays but was maybe only fourth or fifth best in this vintage round of nonsense.
LB: Jordan Zemura – 6.25
Was actually playing left wing-back but he’s not getting out of this side on that technicality. It’s one thing for Bournemouth to be swept aside by Arsenal in that kind of mood, but allowing Ben White – a fine centre-back for sure but no more than a capable stand-in at right-back – to go full Trent Alexander-Arnold is precisely the sort of things the WhoScored algorithm should quite rightly punish.

David Moyes can’t pronounce his name and the WhoScored boffins don’t much care for him either. And you have to say fair enough. Not the bit with the name. The bit with the boffins. Thrust straight into action by his confused and defensively-bereft manager, Kehrer promptly conceded a penalty within 20 minutes to set West Ham on their way to a third straight defeat. To be fair to the German, we imagine that hearing the manager who can’t pronounce your name declare pre-match on live TV that you’re in the starting XI because “needs must” isn’t exactly a great confidence-instiller.
CB: Sven Botman – 6.16
Produced one of the standout moments of what already looks sure to be one of the best games of the season when, with Newcastle attempting to run down the clock at 3-3 against Manchester City, he hoofed the…
