In that case, what you are doing is criticising a defender, for not having creative vision.
Once Blind is back, if in doubt, the defenders can pass to him and he will find a creative pass (to our attacking midfielders). That's what he is there for.
When I judge a defender, its on his ability to defend and looking at the stats, opposing strikers have not done well against our defence, since Evans has been playing.
Let the defence ensure that the ball doesnt go in the back of our net.
Let the attackers ensure that the ball does end up in the back the opposition's net.
If you are looking for a ball playing (intelligent/confident) defender, it may take a while for Evans to get there...if ever.
Fletcher is a lost cause. But I think that Evans still has a job to do at the club.
