Unfortunately, that speeks more about our central defence than about Evans himself...Evans is our best central defender.

It's not really 3-5-2, that looks like:U hope this is the last we see of 3-5-2 for a long while.
Who did look good against MK Dons? Evans wasn't the only player to underperform, far from it.yeah he looked amazing against MK Dons....... oh wait
Let's be honest here - Evans is nothing more than an average defender. I think Jones and Smalling are better than him. How he still gets games I have no idea.Jesus...
May be he has watched only the last match. Or may be its because Evans don't make crunching tackles like Jones; you know, after losing the ball/letting an attacker through with shit positioning.Jesus...
Welcome to the Match Day threadThe game didn't even started and people already complaining
I have my facts straight, Rojo played as an LB in the WC because of the lack of players in that position for Argentina, and Blind was awarded player of the year in Eredivise last season as a DM.I don't rate him at all, he is just below average in every aspect. Rojo played LB in the WC and Blind played LWB in the WC aswell. Get your facts straight.
We have 11 injuries, you do know that right?200m spent yet just take a look at that squad ;/
ughh
??? Why would Anderson start ahead of Fletcher? No chance of that happening mate.
He wasn't worse than Keane, but, yes, he should have done better. So should basically every Utd player that game. He wasn't the only player to underperform. At least his error was a freak mistake. I'd be more worried if he was constantly out of position, which he wasn't. Rio and Vida made freak mistakes also. People are going way overboard on his performance.Well considering Michael Keane is 21 and Evans is 26 and was a captain in that game, he should've done much much better, but he didn't, he was worse than Keane against Mk fecking Dons.
Yeh and even if all of them come back our midfield still wouldn't be greatly balanced.We have 11 injuries, you do know that right?
Who else plays? Anderson?Fletcher should not be playing after last week's horror show..
Have you watched Anderson at all?Has no one noticed that Fletcher has been diabolical?
he can't be fitSurprised Rafael missed out. I'd play him over Valencia anyday.
In all honesty I think we'll manage with Blind either way until we move in for Strootman come January. And I also very much doubt that's the way van Gaal thinks.Any extreme outcome to this match could be devastating to the rest of our season.
If we lose, obviously the meltdown will be fully on.
If we smash them, LVG might be stupid enough to think he doesn't need to go after another stud midfielder in the next 2 days.
Fletcher is not even close to being anywhere near being a premiership holding midfielderAbsolutely. LVG literally has to have a holding/defensive midfielder in any of his teams and he really has no other choice than Fletcher.
Anderson won't be an improvement. Wait for Blind to come in and we will have a better replacement.Has no one noticed that Fletcher has been diabolical?
And you think Anderson would be better? At least Fletcher offers something defensively. It's all irrelevant because Van Gaal would never have even considered starting Ando ahead of Fletch.Has no one noticed that Fletcher has been diabolical?
Really? Ok drop Fletcher ,who instead of him?Has no one noticed that Fletcher has been diabolical?
Ah okay. Nothing new in that case. Shame, he and shaw would be great instead of young and Valencia.he can't be fit
didn't make the bench either
Rojo is an orthodox LB, look it up. Blind started his career as LB, only recently was tested as DM, but played the LWB role in the WC.I have my facts straight, Rojo played as an LB in the WC because of the lack of players in that position for Argentina, and Blind was awarded player of the year in Eredivise last season as a DM.
However, lets agree to disagree and look forward to the game instead, the Evans discussion is for another thread I am so excited to see Di María walk onto the pitch today in a red shirt
Good shout Jones but seriously as bad as Anderson has been Im shocked that Fletcher is ever to pull on red again.Have you watched Anderson at all?
Jones maybe had a shout of getting in over Fletcher, some people even think Perreira but no way does Anderson.
Rafael get hurt again during training trying to get fit? We really need a backup RB.Surprised Rafael missed out. I'd play him over Valencia anyday.
BlindYeh and even if all of them come back our midfield still wouldn't be greatly balanced.
Are you for real?Let's be honest here - Evans is nothing more than an average defender. I think Jones and Smalling are better than him. How he still gets games I have no idea.
Is Smalling injured?
