Opinions, eh?

Whatever Pogue you may well have the support of the Caf. But fact is you constantly defend players who are nothing like Utd quality. Which tbh tells me all I need to know about you. That was nothing short of embarrassing and the goal came from poor defending from the captain tonight. Is it the first time?? Maybe as captain!! But not as player.
 
At fault for the goal but Park gave away a cheap free-kick in the first place, I still think Evans is a top defender and he is learning to be more authoritative, it takes time though.
 
Evans did what he always does. Nice use of the ball, great interceptions,got bullied by stronger forwards and was somehow at fault when we conceded.

A marginal offside call does not mean he was not a t fault. 1st of all the ball passed just over his head. So it would never have gotten to the forward in the 1st place. Secondly he should be the one pushing and pulling the forward, not the other way round.

He is a really good player but he has one or two weaknesses that just will not go away.
 
I thought he didn't do much wrong today, the goal was offside, what's the point in turning on him after every fecking game? There is absolutely no doubt it was offside, would we criticize Rio or Vidic in the same situation? No way.

A RedCafe member has an opinion about a Man Utd player and Pogue, as usual, responds with a personal attack.

You're supposed to be a moderator as well yet you're constantly getting into e-fights with other RedCafe members and abusing them.
 
He is constantly dominated by every opposition forward he has faced over the last 18 months.

His distribution can be pretty good sometimes.

Rio and especially Vida would not get into such situations.

Please note that he was standing in a offside position and tried to get back onside as the kick was taken. He actually almost succeeded. So what then?? If he had managed to get onside quicker or one of our defenders had dropped a bit deeper??

As a defender you have to assume that he will be onside when the ball is played and make sure the ball does not get to him.
 
Thought he had a good game, still has mad moments when he gives the most awkward passes and ends up putting team mates in trouble. Which was what happened when Gibson fouled the lad on the half way line, after Jonny played a sloppy ball to Pogba which was never gonna make it.

He still switches off in certain situations and sometimes needs to just get the ball out of play rather than dilly dally on it. He needed to do a little better in the build up to the offside goal. As Murray got away from him too easy.
 
The amount of times that people have said "I know Evans made a mistake today but he's a good player" in this thread is getting beyond a joke now. And it's the same posters who keep jumping to his rescue.

He isn't Manchester United quality, end of. Thank God we have Smalling and Jones as our future.

I thought I was the only one, he's been very good this season

Jones? At center back? He's a disaster waiting to happen with his marauding self. Smalling I agree, he's class. Evans is Manchester United class by the way, I've said that throughout.

Not saying it had a bearing on his performance or result but I thought he was a weird choice as captain.

Out of the team that started, to say he was the stand out choice would be an understatement. Not a lot of natural captains out there tonight and he's a long serving United player, with experience and United in his blood.
 
Pogue Mahone said:
Yup. Played quite well. Some people on here couldn't judge a performance if it happened in their front room.

As a defender you need consistency and that is one word that could never be associated with Jonny Evans.

And that's over a one match let alone a season.

He's what 23, consistency in CB's at 23 is very rare, at least give him until he's 26/27 before writing off his ability to gain consistency. Also it's very hard to be consistent without a consistent run of games, especially at centre-half, give the lad a break.

That was his 100th game for Utd.
 
Making mistakes isn't exclusive to Evans though... didn't Jones score an own goal a few games back? I said it then that Evans would have been crucified if he did that

And Vidić had played 100 odd games by the time he was 23/24 and he showed his class here at what 25-26, centre-back's take time to mature. Jonny has played well very often, if he irons out the lapses in concentration then he'll be a top defender for us
 
MalteseRedDevil said:
How do you judge a player which is consistently good, but seems to make one costly mistake more often than not.
Click to expand...

You judge him according to his age. He's incredibly young for a top level centre-half. Rio was making all sorts of daft errors at the same age. Between the errors he was a class above the level Evans is now but Evans is clearly a very good young central defenders. It's really not difficult to see his qualities. At least it shouldn't be.

That was one of Jones's first major mistakes and so you accept it as a one off (unless this continues! Which I doubt having watched him). Evans looses out on a regular basis to forwards, especially in the air. That's when the player gets crucified for every mistake.
 
His age is the reason most us still hope he can make it. Big vote of confidence by the manager to make him captain. Shows that he believes in him and i guess that should be enough for us fans though Still incredibly frustrating
 
Evans isn't much cop, he'll be at Sunderland before long. Smalling is irritatingly good.
 
When you look at Palaces second goal there is only one player at fault
Play to the whistle and get goal side when the ball is kicked
But you cant blame him for the result apart from that mistake, he did put in a good shift
 
Vidic is our only good defender, when he doesn't play everything just turns to shit back there. Smailling though is showing good signs. Evans (our captain tonight) was at fault for both goals and turned in a poor performance this time against a side who he should be dominating against.
 
To people defending Evans, is it considered a good performance if you are rock solid all night but are responsible for the losing goal?
 
he was at fault for their goal, why didn't he jump for the ball, always get brushed off too easily.
