Yeah but that's thanks to the other 10 players on the pitch working harder to make up for Evan's mistakes.
Am I doing this right?
Unfortunately I think that's the case. Just watched the Spurs game and lost count of the number of times he failed to spot the quick pass - instead he shuffled forward aimlessly until all passing lanes were blocked then booted the ball upfield to nobody. (In my view, shuffling forward with the ball is a sign of indecision not composure. Obviously a lot of posters disagree with me on this.)

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.

Right now a four man defense seems like the only platform for Jonny to show only positives but that would require absolutely no injury streak and some swift transfer movement in nearest future.

It's possible, not too probable but still...

You do realise I was joking?

I thought the Spurs game was his best of the season. Made some good interceptions and tracked his man reasonably well. He does still needs to get tighter when closing down and u e looks very nervous in possession and then proceeds to either goes backwards or hoofs it forward but that's probably a lack of confidence. Overall not a bad game from Evans yesterday.

I think it's fair to say that he's the first out the door this summer.

I've said it before, There is nothing I like about Evans. No defining quality other than spending the whole game shouting at others whilst being shit

Every man and his dog tries to bully him now as they know he is a bit soft.

every time someone runs at him, he has the ball or he is chasing the ball, you can see he is panicking. Clueless at the moment. Got even bullied by Diouf.

Has regressed so much, he just seems to panic in possession all the time now

He's terrible. Can someone tell him to head the ball rather than letting it bounce? Idiot. Then ranting at others constantly, when it's he who is constantly messing up.

Time to sell. Makes a mistake almost every game, put him under pressure/physically get in his face and he shits himself and he's at the age where you can't say he's going to get much better. Should be the first defender out the door.

Probably the dumbest defender we have, always thought that it's Jones but Evans is doing everything he can to prove me wrong.

I've never been so nervous when we have had a defender in our back line. He is just a disaster waiting to happen every game. It annoys me even more when you see him shout at others when he is the one that has made the error! Probably the only player I really want gone in the summer, if not this January.

He makes me so nervous. I'm guessing he'll be dropped once Rojo is back fit.

Apart from being wrong to let the ball bounce that time when it comes to individual errors he hasn't done much wrong at all, he definitely wasn't at fault for the goal. Our problems at the back there in that first half have mainly being as a defensive unit other than anything else, letting balls bounce, coming off 2nd best or not getting heads on crosses, corners etc.
