Size shouldn't be an issue in the debate, but it's being brought up. Neville has had the centre forwards pushed onto him for ages, and teams are just doing that with Evra right now. It was something used on Heinze as well.
Evra, reminds me of Paul Parker, I've said this many a time and continue to do so. I have more confidence in him than I do with Silvestre, and couldn't understand why they switched them late on. Silvestre has had enough chances over the past few years, and hasn't taken advantage of them. If anything, since Silvestre fell out with the French national team's coach and was dropped, his form has dropped with it. Whilst on duty with France, his form at United was excellent, but since then it's gone back to what it was when he first came. That's unacceptable.
Evra is still learning the English game. This is were I contradict myself, by saying he's getting used to being bullied by the bigger players. It's not a tactic that is used much in France, so this is new to him. Once he's got used to that then I think we'll see him perform. Last night he looked a little off pace at first, but once he got going he was sound. He doesn't back out of a challenge on the ground or in the air, no matter who it is.
Evra or Silvestre? Thanks alot Silvestre, but the future is Evra....
