He has had two excellent seasons since his promotion. That's 2 out of 6 or 7; which is a shame as he has done well whenever he got an uninterrupted injury free run. Always felt that Evans needed a strong leader alongside him to perform at his best.
Another reason to sell him then? He's always injured, when was the last time he actually had a good game though, you just knew that when smelling went down injured and Evans was stripping off we'd concede at least one.Jesus Christ. He has barely played
Because he's a crock. It's not just bad luck anymore.Jesus Christ. He has barely played
FFSBecause he's a crock. It's not just bad luck anymore.
He's almost 27 now, I'll say we sell him and get someone who can play consistently for two straight months
You rate him I guess? I'd rather classify him as Newcastle'esque, I doubt he is better than Collocini for example.Evans (is always this smilie for me) =
Edit: Back from injury or not.....his level is Tottenham
I just think he's better than Kaboul, Fazio or ChirichesYou rate him I guess? I'd rather classify him as Newcastle'esque, I doubt he is better than Collocini for example.
I'm sorry but he's not. The Evans we see nowadays wouldn't even make it at Spurs.I just think he's better than Kaboul, Fazio or Chiriches
Something he has in common with every CB who's played that formation all season.He looks completely lost in three man defence, he has no idea what to do.
I like Evans, but he definitely looks the worst, it's like we brought a clown to play(and I repeat, I rate Evans, if you told me one year ago I would compare him with clown, I would call you a clown).Something he has in common with every CB who's played that formation all season.
He is 26, 27 next month.I thought he was lucky not to get hooked instead of McNair. He looked completely off the pace from the moment he stepped on to the pitch.
He's barely played football this season, so I'm only expecting him to get better. But, given his inability to stay fit and the fact that he's approaching the end of his twenties, you have to wonder how long we can afford to rely on him in any way before we flog him.
My bad, I thought he was an 87-er for some reason. Still, I don't think that does much to the crux of my argument.He is 26, 27 next month.
Christ.a nothing player.
don't see what he's got to do with it. He died thousands of years ago.Christ.
Did he?don't see what he's got to do with it. He died thousands of years ago.
Evans played like he died 1000 years ago.Did he?
DDG!He really was terrible tonight though. Rojo wasn't much better mind and McNair was worse. How we only conceded one I'll never know.
Pretty crucial attribute when you're a LVG team, something most of our other cb's lack.He's a little lightweight compared to the best CBs. He's very good with the ball and carrying the ball out of defense, even whilst a little rusty today. He struggles with both fast and strong players though, which is a bit alarming. I'm not convinced he's the way forward, but he's more than a decent option to have.
No doubt, but I do like our CBs to be excellent at the defending bit as well, and he does struggle against too many different types of players. He's very good with the ball though, no doubt. His long passing is excellent and he runs with the ball very well.Pretty crucial attribute when you're a LVG team, something most of our other cb's lack.
Didn't understand why he didn't play Rojo left back and Evans centre half in a 4.He was okay in the first half and very good defensively in the 2nd. Poor in possession though but that is the same with all of our defenders in this system. I don't think that system will ever work unless Carrick/Blind and Herrera are in midfield to provide options.
Its painful watching the back 5 playing it round until they either give the ball away trying to pass along the floor or hoof it forward. LVG has to have noticed that this only happens when we havea back 5. I can just about see why it was played today to protect Valencia/Young but not sure even that worked!
