What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?

· Yahoo Sports

For some of the biggest football matches we cover, BBC Sport's football reporters will be giving their views on how each player performed using a sliding scale of 1-10.

But what does each rating mean?

10 - What a performance. Probably a match-winning display, maybe a wonder goal, hat-trick or something that has set a new record. These will be rare and reserved for the truly outstanding efforts.

9 - Excellent. Probably scored at least one, or created a goal, or produced an outstanding defensive/goalkeeping display. Likely to be the best player out there.

8 - Very good. Heavily involved in the action, one of the best players on the pitch without reaching the above criteria.

7- Quite good. Played their part, did more good things than bad.

6 - Decent. Should have been involved more, maybe missed some easy chances or played some sloppy passes. Maybe could have had more of an impact, but instead a quieter game.

5 - Average. Did nothing to stand out. Was maybe out of position for a goal or a late substitute that did not have time to get involved.

4 - Disappointing. We would have hoped for more. Guilty of losing the ball, missing chances, making defensive errors.

3 - Did more things badly than well. Few positives if any, maybe a goalkeeper or outfield player to blame for some of the goals conceded.

2 - Really poor performance, maybe their team took a hammering, with an error-strewn showing.

1- No positives to note. Made numerous serious errors, probably cost their team the match, likely to get dropped next time. A game to forget.
