Dreadful performance bereft of confidence and basic know-how.
Smalling-Rojo partnership whilst Jones is out please.

I don't think I've ever seen such a unanimous decision in a post match thread. Absolute garbage.
Ship him to Everton and get discount on Stones :-D
Don't know what's happened to him.
He umm, is a future club captain don't forget.
He was very good only 2 seasons ago. Not world class, but it is just bizarre how much he has gone backwards.
Completely forgot about that. Poor Daley.
That was fecking awful. He and Falcao battled it out for who the worst player on the pitch was. I don't know why LcG persists with him in the LCB. Yes Smalling/Jones are right footed but c'mon! They would be nowhere near as bad as that. What was with the clearance he headed out for a corner?! And just letting that Burnley player get a shot off in the first half. Time to go Jonny.
It genuinely upsets me how much he's declined in the last year.
He was a genuine contender for captain and I'd have been happy if he did get it at the time. So, so far from that now.

I was worried every time the ball came into his immediate vicinity. He couldn't even play the simple pass tonight and was at sixes and sevens all night. Dire performance.
Certainly seems like he's played his way out of the club this season.
And considering he spent all that time learning from the best CB duo of their time, it's even more baffling to see such steep regression curve.
What the hell has happened to him?
He's been absolutely terrible all season, you could probably make a decent length compilation video of his numerous feck ups this year. He's been so lucky De Gea has pretty much saved him every time.
He has to go in the summer, he's been a mess.

You could have picked anyone in the crowd tonight who would have been less nervous.
He's done as a United player.
Looks like a nervous stoat about to make a dash across a busy main road. Worse, his anxious, fidgety, diffident approach and demeanour makes the rest of the defence neurotic and apprehensive.
Rojo and Smalling at CB for the rest of the season. Please.
Smalling will pick up an injury though, so will likely see Evans feature again before the summer when he and Jones board the Dead Wood Stage out of town.

What are his wages? I can see us being stuck loaning him out and picking up his salary
He's so bad he should be fired. I genuinely believe Kagawa would do a better job than him at centre-back.
This is coming from someone who rates him as an excellent defender in terms of natural ability and intelligence - he has just lost all of his balls & nerve. He is totally useless to us, he plays worse with every game.

He is steadily devolving into a terrible terrible player, he is at this point one of the worst cb's I have ever seen at MUFC. He can't defend, attack or pass.
He and falcao need to not play for us again, they will cost us games and while LVG is at it, he could be starting Herrera in the CM and letting rooney play up top.

It's shocking, what happened to him? Somebody put a kryptonite in his pockets?
£65k a week

He started to deteriorate after his marriage I guess.
Awful defender nowadays.
And to be honest he has only played because Rojo has played left-back and Evans left foot is better than Smalling's.
Like said in the Transfer forum. I can only see clubs like Sunderland, Crystal Palace or promotion clubs are interested in him.

Should be the first of our defenders to be shown the door this summer, with massive question marks remaining over Smalling and Jones with regards their fitness.
So washed up.
Not even sure how he can regress so terribly at a time when he should technically be entering his prime. This is like a Gary Neville before his retirement style regression and he's 27.
Having watched the game for the first time just now, he was fine. Not brilliant but not awful. His confidence was notably lacking though. He was no better or worse than the majority of players.
Woeful player
Same here. It was like watching a car crash video on youtube, you know the crash was coming but didn't know how bad it would be in the end. And to think I thought he would do well under LVG due to his ability to play the ball out of the back.
Great point. It is just so strange. His belief in himself seems to have been completely shot.
He was very bad, his passing gives me heart attacks and he doesn't make you think he can beat his opponent in 1v1 duels.
Can't see him staying beyond this season. Injuries or otherwise never progessed to become the player he showed glimpses of in the earlier part of his career.
He's in the same boat as cleverley imo, way out of his depth at United and will go to a mid table team but not really impress there either. Evans was solid and promising years ago when he had the 2 best defenders in the world carrying him and making whoever was next to them look good. Any time he was without one of those two, he has been mediocre. Never as bad as this year though. The form he's shown isn't even premier league standard. We sold Michael Keane to Burnley who are 19th I think and he's comfortably been better then evans this season, that's the scary thing.
He's obviously a premier league quality player overall, who is way off form but nothing more then mid table and was always incredibly overrated imo. His passing is awful too, can't believe we used to think he was a good ball playing defender. Wank all around.

Happened to Cleverley, Anderson and to possibly Chicharito.
More on topic, it's tough to argue against selling him for the 5-7 million (and 65K in wages off the books) we should get from someone desperate for another CB like Newcastle (Coloccini so old, Yanga-Mbiwa gone, Taylor always hurt and Williamson straight Champ) or Everton (They'll have 2 CB's soon now that Distin has finally succumbed to the aging process, and also Alcaraz is technically a pro footballer).
As I've written before, the money and British/Irish myopia means it won't happen, but he should absolutely go to Spain or Italy, where there are less big, fast strikers to bully him and his passing and normally solid reading of the play will matter more.
Good to know that his previous decent performance was just a one off 
Seen people compare him to Cleverley. Why? Evans was actually good for a decent amount of time. He's actually regressed massively, unlike Cleverley who never progressed.

He needs to go. I was an ardent supporter of Evans under SAF. But now he's become a complete liability. I have no idea what LvG did to him but he's in complete shambles. He's so afraid of putting his foot in. Always waits for the attacker to make his move and then tries to intercept him. He's playing like a frightened kid. His passing was his greatest asset and that's gone down the drain. How many times did he lose the ball under no pressure whatsoever. He got enough opportunities and didn't take them. Definitely he'll be the first to go this summer.
He just isn't physical enough. I don't know if he has lost weight or a previous injury has left him being timid to contact, but he just looks scared stiffless as soon as anybody get's near him. He doesn't even need to be the hulk either, just enough to not let the strikers get 1 over on him, but every game they run him ragged or push him around. I would genuinely rather use Thorpe than Evans at this point.
