Terrible tonight and our worst player this season. Doesn't even look like a viable squad option.
 
Shaw back in the squad will be a welcome relief. I shit bricks watching him shit bricks when he plays. There is a good player in there, just looks nervous when playing
 
Definitely on his way out in the summer. Every time I see his name on the team sheet I get nervous...
 
It'd be easier to say how many times he found a teammate than how many times he gave the ball away. Can't see how anyone can defend him now. He's so so bad. Wouldn't look out of place at Burnley.
 
He gets bullied. He has the most punchable face. And when he puts his hands out, shifts to the left and hopelessly hoofs it when usually there is a 'midfielder' with his arms out calling for it, I cringe.
 
I tried to give him 0 in the match rating thing but it wouldn't let me.
 
He was shit again...at this rate Bradford City wouldn't even buy him!
 
I thought this game would be good for him to ease back into form, but nope. Still same old useless Evans.

Sick of him now, ship him off as soon as possible.
 
My favourite bit was when a Burnley player was running at our goal and he just ran alongside him but kept a distance of about 3 metres the whole way, allowing him to run freely towards de Gea and get a shot off.
 
Was he that bad?

Yes.

Every short pass he made went to a Burnley player.

Smashed into Blind, when both were jumping for the same ball and he's got a concussion now.

Was literally given the run around by Burnley attackers.
 
The problem with Evans is that he is like a 'best hits' of our worst defensive traits over the years:

1. Has the appalling distribution of Wes Brown, meaning teams let him have the ball
2. Has the ball watching brain farts of young Rio
3. Has the terrifying lack of pace of late Vidic
4. Has the 'Silvestre' moment at least once a match when he gifts the opposition a chance

He really brings nothing. No organisational skills, no aerial dominance...nothing but a big target that says to the opposition: Give it to this guy, he won't hurt you.
 
Interesting performance. A couple of superb long cross-field passes yet simple 5 to 10 yard passes seemed beyond his capability so often did he find an opponent. Routine clearances went straight up in the air, or out for a corner. Beating his man to a cross a complete non-starter.
 
I thought that he improved in the last 20minutes, but before that horrible (and I was a big supporter of him).
 
I remember some people on here saying he was one of the best ball playing CB in the world.
 
First one out of ten I've ever given. Just everything about him is terrible.

Playing him because he's left footed.. Christ all mighty, he can't use both feet, his head and it looks like he barely uses his brain.
 
He is probably our worst defender in every facet of the game now. His passing is hideous, he's nervous on the ball, positionally all over the place, his headers have even less direction than his passing and why oh why does he always let the fecking ball bounce?!

And the injury proneness of Smalling and Jones.

Haha yep. He kept away and then slipped and stumbled as well.
 
Pant soilingly diabolical. Like a tangled puppet being controlled by a drunken cat.

Always fought his corner, thought he was going to be great when he was 19, 20. Hard to see any way back now. I talk about the good days now, I nearly feel like I'm making it up.
