Corry Evans

[prateik]

hasnt he turned 18 ..
plays for the reserves.. is he any good ..

hewson , drinkwater , corry , james , derbyshire , all midfielders

how many have a chance at united

 

[68-99-08]

James has the best chance. Evans and Derbyshire will end up being good but not good enough.

 

[Elliott]

James is a fine young player but he is slow. Lack of pace let Jones down in the past, it's letting Gibson down now and I've got a nasty feeling it'll eventually be James' downfall as well. You don't need blistering pace as a CM but being downright slow is a great disadvantage.

He doesn't look that slow and to be frank I think what let Jones down was not being very strong and what lets Gibson down is his complete lack of footballing brain.

 

[Elliott]

Fair enough, samabachan. Last time I really had the chance to run the rule over him was in last summers Milk Cup. Maybe he's gotten a tad quicker with more leg muscle or something, because he looked very slow then. You might have a point about Jones, but I don't agree about Gibson.

 

[sincher]

I think Drinkwater has a chance - he can pass the ball, is quite an elegant player, and has an eye for goal. Useful from dead balls too. Corry Evans is more of a battler, a la Cleverley.

I also like the look of James, and if pace is a problem, he could probably play at the back.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Corry Evans has versatility on his side. could end up seeing him doing an O'Shea type role.

 

[Name Changed]

Decent player but doesn't seem to have his bro's ability.

 

[Decotron]

Called up to NI's most recent squad.

Called up to NI's most recent squad.

iirc he had been called up earlier as well right? I am not sure if he played or he didn't.. But I was sure he was called up..

He made his NI debut June last year against a weakened Italy side.

Worthington hails Evans
Manchester United youngster earns special praise

He was also impressed by the performance of young substitute Corry Evans, whose appearance off the bench at the start of the second half appeared to inject some life into his side.

"It was a good honest performance in the second half, more like Northern Ireland," said Worthington.

"The reason that was the case was young Corry Evans. He came on in midfield

and had energy. He wanted the ball and passed well.

"He was neat and tidy. These are the simple things that can help change

games.

"I must admit it was refreshing to have him here and see what he has achieved

tonight."

great

 

[Girish II]

I think this is a big step in his development, should give him a big boost in confidence to kick on.

 

[kevg]

Could do with a loan spell to help him kick on now?

 

[prateik]

scored last night


iirc ole rates him highly .. if the first teamers continue playing in the reserves, then he will learn a lot staying there .. if not , hope he goes out on loan .. am sure he is good enough for the championship

 

[KM]

Excellent play by Cathcart, and good work by Evans to get into the position to score the goal. What an important goal for N.I

 

[x42bn6]

Longer highlights in better quality:


NI haven't scored in a while, so it must be nice to get on the scoresheet, end a goalless streak and do it against an opponent that held England to a single goal at the World Cup.

 

[golden_blunder]

great wingplay from cathcart!

 

[SharkyMcShark]

So he's basically the norn Rodwell then
