Absolute rubbish... hes been their best CB this season to be honest and the defensive lynchpin.

Evans is young and hasa lot to learn. I can remember 10 years ago Alan Hanson used to pick apart a young �Rio Ferdinand, highlighting his many deficencies and look what he became. Lay off Evans, let him develop and he will be a great centre back for years to come


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.
