Jones isn't top 5 of the season. I probably wouldn't have him in the top 10

But Evans is certainly up there.

I think Valencia, Carrick, Rooney, Evans, Welbeck, Ferdinand and Scholes have been our most consistant performers. And others like Evra, Smalling, Nani and Hernandez have had good campaigns as well.
 
Glad to say no humble pie for me. Always had faith, my only worries were off the field but again he seems to have matured a lot this season. Also had him to score at the weekend which made the match all the more enjoyable.

Ever since his performance against Torres for NI I knew we had a serious player. Some laughable comments in here over the last 18months.

Ditch Rooney and Scholes for Jones and Nani for me. They might have gone off the boil recently but if you look at the season as a whole both have been outstanding.

I look back on Nani and only two games really stand out for me in terms of him being MOTM; City in the Shield and Chelsea at home. I think he's really struggled to match last seasons form this season tbh. Jones is no where near our top 5. Mine for the record would be;

1- Carrick
2- Evans
3- Rooney
4- Valencia
5- Scholes
 
I'd easily put De Gea in top 5 for us - yes cost us a couple (maybe) but, boy has he saved our bacon as well.

As for Evans, always knew he had it in him and delighted that he has really made a step up with his performances this season.

Disagree with this. Jones had a few good cameos in the early parts of the season but after that hes looked really tired and like hes played too much football at this level for his age. And even in the beginning he was very suspect defensively for someone who is primarily a defender.

Nani has had a very poor season compared to last season. He hasnt really been good for more than 2 months total. Even when he had a good spell of form he didnt produce much end product in terms of goals and assists.
 
Outstanding performance again.

MOTM by such a distance tonight it isn't even funny. That tackle in the second half when one of there players just walzed past everyone before Jonny came sliding in was inch perfect.
 
A real Darren Fletcher story: promising youngster -> scapegoat as he inevitably dips -> key big match player.
 
Was solid at the back tonight. In a game where a lot of our players started to panic and look sloppy on the ball, he was a reassuring figure for us.
 
Good again tonight but again - at 1-0 up, I don't want to see a centre back making runs into the opposition box leaving just Ferdinand and Rafael behind him.

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.

A run of games has helped Jonny a lot, delighted for the lad. Playing next to Rio has also helped him a lot.
 
Man of the match for me. Pogrebnyak didn't have a leg to stand on when Evans was marking him. Constantly first on the ball and aggressive - reminded me of Vidic on more than one occasion when he threw himself in front of the attacker and headed the ball away.
 
His distribution from the back led to our better tempo in the good spell we had at the start of the second half.
 
Was amazing again. He is really starting to show his true ability. Little Jonny Evans is turning into a strong, very cleaver defender.

Well, I personally blame De Gea, Welbeck, Cleverley, Pogba and both twins for everything that has gone against us this season.

I think De Gea is rapidly heading for Stage 3 already (although one screw up will push him way down into Stage 2 again).

Don't forget Jones. What a waste of money he was. Useless player, doesn't even have a position. Also, his face looks funny.
 
Another good performance from Evans. Our most consistent player this season and best defender. IMO, our player of the season.

Was absolutely immense in the air. Played like he was 7 foot tall. Awesome performance.

I'm loving this about him, I don't know if he's strengthened up, but I wouldn't expect him to get bullied by Carlton Cole again - ever since QPR away he's been top drawer in the air defensively
 
I missed the game tonight (had the stream on but was working so couldn't really watch it), but it's great to see the praise being heaped on Evans game after game in here. I actually think he could make a mistake now and not be lambasted for weeks about it.
 
He's somehow gotten stronger without bulking up. This throws into doubt the entire premise of youth player muppetry.
 
He's trying to be a goalscoring, attacking defender, a bit like Vida... and he's really good at it !
 
Think he lost one header all game. Absolutely immense from start to finish. It's getting back to the stage now where you don't think twice when his name is on the team sheet. Was super composed on the ball today, top distribution, rarely gave it away.

I just hate seeing him dive in 40 yards from goal and giving away freekicks.
 
their last throw-in, straight to haangeland, Evans gave him a lesson in heading !
 
Fulham's last attack was a throw in, everyone was in the box, anything could have happened if Fulham won the initial header. But, the game ended after Evans climbed over someone and cleared the ball...I thought that was an appropriate end to the game
