It was good to see him looking confident again, I thought he had a strong and composed game that seemed to really shake off the cobwebs that gathered after those batch of stinkers.
Yeh but... c'mon, the guy's called "IrishLegend". That's not a username that smacks of impartiality.Does this sound like a hater?
Sounds to me like a poster who just calls it as he see's it
this is a very weird post.I do not see how discussing Evans' forward runs is pointless. It is something that could cost us in future games.
Like I said, I am a fan of Evans. I think he is a terrific young defender, but I do have concerns over this particular aspect of his game. I don't like it.
Sometimes it's even necessary when he can't directly find the midfielders and that he doesn't wanna lump it forward.this is a very weird post.
you know its totally natural for a defender to bring the ball out right?
I think yesterday in particular it was really effective. I love having a centre-half who isn't afraid to bring the ball up through the centre of the park, it always comes with an element of surprise, gives you an extra man and makes space, just as it did yesterday. So many of the best centre-halves around have done/do it. I don't think we need to worry about experienced players like Rio and Carrick plugging the gap if he loses it.this is a very weird post.

Wow, idiot...Get rid of this little boy.
Don't forget out jumped.He's getting out muscled pretty easily this season. It doesn't matter the size of the player, Evans gets out muscled.
Twattish knee jerk bullshitGet rid of this little boy.
Vidic was worse today.
Rubbish.Vidic was worse today.
Vidic was every bit as bad to be fair.Again a very bad match from him.
Not true.Your defence always looks crap when Ferdinand's not playing.
That's so overboard. This kid was brilliant up until a year ago, considered the best young centre back prospect in the PL. He's lost form but class is permanent and all that.Post it as many times as you like, he's just not good enough
He's the obvious scapegoat here, as most people will assume "world class players" like Vidic, van der Sar, Evra and Rooney weren't at fault (newsflash they were... Rooney's slopping passing helped set up the second Wolves goal) Jonny Evans gave two strong performances against Liverpool and Southampton, while Smalling had three games in a row and managed to slip down the pecking order. I believe Evans won his place back on merit.He's just not dependable at this point. He'll come back from it at some point, but for now choosing Smalling over Evans when one of our first choice CBs are unavailable, is going to be one of the keys to use being successful this season.
