He came on and twice was beaten, one resulting in their goal.
Has he forgotten to be a CB?

but Vidic was keeping him quiet.Samba is a complete fecking beast though.
Can I borrow your crystal ball when you're done with it please?but Vidic was keeping him quiet.
Smalling would have handled him.
just saying Smalling is a better player...Can I borrow your crystal ball when you're done with it please?
exactly....He gets beaten on headers far too often.
True, although Vidic is one of the best defenders in the world. Evans is still learning and I still maintain that in 4-6 years time he'll be our first choice CB and one of the top defenders around the world.but Vidic was keeping him quiet.

hope you are right mate....and I don't hate the lad...True, although Vidic is one of the best defenders in the world. Evans is still learning and I still maintain that in 4-6 years time he'll be our first choice CB and one of the top defenders around the world.
Then you seriously need to evaluate your priorities.exactly....
I don't care it was 7-1...that was frustrating conceding to a team that was nowhere.
has potential to be but he isn't yet, he has played well in the league cup where Evans has gone places like the san siro away to Inter milan had his ankle strapped up, pumped up with pain killers and put in a superb performance. He has had a dip in form and Rio has had them, Vidic had one that lasted about 10 months and I'm sure Smalling will have them aswell.just saying Smalling is a better player...
Seconded... that's not even seeing the glass as half-full... and for the record, it was pouring over today.Then you seriously need to evaluate your priorities.
Hope he plays against West Ham. He needs to play in these cup games.Put a big man against him, and he might as well not be there. Just no presence in the air at all these days. A bit annoying. Hopefully he finds his confidence and puts in some hard hours in the gym.
Tempo of the match? There was no tempo to handle. His concentration should be high for playing for that short period of time. Didn't even give Samba a challenge for those two headers he had.True, although Vidic is one of the best defenders in the world.

EDIT - Also, i'd just like to add that coming on as a substitute as a CB is probably the hardest position on the pitch to do so in my opinion. It doesnt matter how the oppostion are playing, a quick jog down the touch line wont get you up to speed with the tempo of the match, and concentration levels arent as high. As a striker, winger, etc you might get away with this, but as a CB you're punished.
Just throwing that out there.
that was my frustration.Tempo of the match? There was no tempo to handle. His concentration should be high for playing for that short period of time. Didn't even give Samba a challenge for those two headers he had.
He really has no excuses for it as he does it every game, starting or not.

I agree.He hardly tried to jump or to bother Samba for his headers.Not that it matters but it's not good to see him so lethargic.Tempo of the match? There was no tempo to handle.

Just let it go, let it go.......exactly....

Same here. He s not at his best certainly but he ll be back.I had a hunch we would concede when he came on.
True.People seem to ignore the fact that Samba gave him a push in the back - so basically Evans never had a chance. The goal should have been disallowed - and at 2-1 or 3-1 United - it probably would have
