Played well today, gotta give the man credit when he has a good game 
He's great when he doesn't have to do any actual defending...
Do you ever say anything positive?

Occasionally.
He had a good game by his standards. He didnt gift them a goal.
Good today. Hopefully by now Van Gaal realises that he only does well as the left-sided CB in a back 4.
Credit where it's due, he didn't bend over and gift them a goal and he rarely hoofed it aimlessly.

I was going to say the same
In regards to Evans, he isn't good enough for this club anymore unfortunately. Surely will be gone come Summer.
Absolutely agree with this post. Especially about the part in bold: the worst thing I see in a football match is when a player dallies on the ball - it drives me nuts.
He was fine today…there will always be a degree of 'iffiness' when the manager changes the defence every week. Defenders need to play in settled back 3/4 or whatever. No defender has had that luxury so they have all looked dodgy on occasions.
His biggest weakness has been his distribution. He was good with the ball today and I would much rather him take his time to find his man (regardless of how it might appear on TV) and also pass the ball back to De Gea when there a limited options.
Crowd who got on his back are brainless.

Not a fan of his but he shouldn't be criticised for today's performance he had a good game.
I guess I'm the only one who thought he was poor today?
Several backpasses to the keeper when he had better forward options, and mostly easy side and backpasses generally. Didn't have much defending to do at all and offered nothing else on the field.
The best thing I could say is that he didn't feck anything up, which shouldn't really count as praise.

Hopefully Poyet was impressed as Sunderland is likely destination for him in the summer.
A few wobbles, but nothing horrific. I think I gave Jonny a 6 for today's performance.
He's not a United regular starter in my book, but as a fifth or sixth CB option I have no objections to Jonny being on the squad.

Excellent post. I hate seeing our fans getting on his back when he is doing the right thing.
We played our "traditional" formation (wide players, four at the back) and I don't think it is a coincidence that this was the best he has looked all season. He may be one of those players that has a lot of trouble adapting to the changes in tactics.
What worried me today wasn't his passing but he was so easy to take on. Granted, there wasn't much actual defending required today but on the two occasions someone ran at him he was easily bypassed.
Maybe fair but those specific times he was left isolated and you could see him in two minds about whether to tackle or hold the player up. Of course, could have done better but I think he made decent decisions, sometimes credit has to go to the attacker for taking a defender on, when one of ours do it, we praise the attacker, not look at the defender.
For once, Evans didn't really make a big mistake in a match, and in the end, he put up a decent performance. On the ball, he wasn't as ponderous as slow as he used to be, and he showed more confidence on the ball for quite some time. Defensively, he was okay bar the beginning when he was shaky. I still don't think he can make it as a starting defender, but as a squad option, he can be okay.
I think the more natural width contributed to a better performance, he had more angles, less congestion to play through. I know it's one performance against Sunderland but as one of the few that still rate him, especially above Jones, I'm just really happy that he hasn't be thrown under a bus.
On those occasions where was smalling? On one of the occasions you mention Evans had the nan ruining at him and the man just over his shoulder. He held his ground till help arrived. I thought he did ok
I really hate watching this guy play for us as he's not United quality but he wasn't bad today. Put in a good shift and didn't make any silly mistakes or brainfarts.
He was decent. Not as good as his CB partner but he didn't make any bad errors; I'm not an Evans fan either. Hopefully he can build off that performance and improve his form.
He was good today, let's not have another case of trying to fish out any little mistakes to try and suggest otherwise.
Newcastle 0:1 Man Utd
3 match ban comming up for spitting?
I don't like him anymore.
Hard to defend it, unless it was just out of habit. Cisse certainly thought he meant it and retaliated in kind
Incredibly stupid from him if he ends up getting a ban.
Out of habit?!
Our defenders can't help the kamikaze football. Smalling trying to give a penalty away and Evans trying to get sent off.
As in footballers spit every 5 secounds as it isOut of habit?!
No worries anyway. He was gonna drop out anyway. Jones/Rojo is a upgrade.
What a moron.
I guess, he'd have to be ridiculously stupid to just spit directly at someone else though even if spitting is a habit
I really don't think it was intentional but I could be biased because he is our player. Cisse was the bigger idiot though.
Nah. Ref dealt with it. They both kicked and spat at each other and got nothing.
surely he was just spitting on the floor, as per every footballer all the time?
Didn't see Cisse spit back. Did he?
Can't remember a UK/Irish footballer spitting and getting banned. When was the last one?
Can remember a few Europeans.

Just me who can't see what he did wrong then?
BT are blowing the 'spit' out of all proportion, unsurprisingly.
There's no way he was spitting at him, he was just spitting and it went near him. Understandable for Cisse to think there was something in it, but the commentary and punditry is making it out to be a horror show.
The bigger deal is that Cisse lashed out with his foot.

Well done Scholes, voice of reason.
