To say that he has been our best CB this season is not true.As I mentioned earlier, his problem is he is not consistent.When he is on he is pretty good. Has tended to give away too many fouls and penalties.As to being young, 24 is hardly young.I think he has the talent and he has improved in the last year.I hope he makes it.AF must have had doubts as well as he was close to selling him to Sunderland at the start of the season.
As for Rio, he was 23 years old when he first played for Utd.
So who has been better? Rio has been a liability for most of the season and Evans outshone him v Liverpool. Vidic hardly played and Smalling and Jones have been shakey at times as well. To compare him with Ferdinand at the same age is wrong, like I said Ferdinand no positional play whatsoever as a youngster, however he matured playing week in and weekout at West Ham and Leeds. Evans has had to try to break through established world class stars, playing odd games here and there. Now he is getting a run of games he is looking class!! And people do forget that Gary Pallister, great as he was, scored some of the craziest own goals you will ever see!!
