Well yeah he will be first choice until a new better version is developed or signed up.
I think Evra's fall in form has been drastically overstated.
Not saying we don't need some cover/competition for him, but he's still always first choice for me.

. I am expecting someone to blame Rafael for that.
So, Evra doesnt follow his man for the first goal. In the second he's caught up the pitch and doesnt get back in time to stop the cross. Another two goals leaked down his flank, carrying on his club form.
Bad attempt at trying to play the guy offside on the first goal I think. Have you seen the full run up to the second goal? He seems to bust a gut trying to get back there, not sure that can be blamed on him if a teammate has lost the ball in a bad spot?
I havent seen it, have you? Its more to do with the fact he's already made a mistake and now, for whatever reason, whether he fecked up, team mate fecked up, whoever, he's not able to defend his area and stop the cross. It just compounds the first error.
As for the first goal, nah not a chance. You play to the whistle regardless oSf whether you think a team mate is going to play offside or not. Evra cant influence that. But being too lazy to track his own man back he can influence and he fails to do it.
I think he's failing to adapt to his loss of stamina/pace.
It wouldnt matter if Evra made a brilliant run through and would have been one on one with the right pass, but a team mate gave it away and thats why Evra isnt able to get back.
As a left back its safety first. Things can happen, the ball can be lost so you shouldnt be so far ahead that you're never going to get back in time.
I watched the whole game and he was indeed poor. The 2nd goal was football in it's simplest form. I actually thought when the full back passed to our winger that it was too predictable and easy to stop but Evra was late to follow and Rurik just left him no problem.
First goal I wouldn't put on Evra. One of the center backs forgot his man and the other underestimated Sigþórsson ability in the air and lost the header.
France dominated the 2nd half but Iceland had two other chances down the right flank. Right winger had all the time and in the world. Perhaps Evra's reasoning was that all that time and space would overwhelm the winger.
Have to say, celebrating in the Stretford End at the Liverpool match with Evra was probably one of the highlights of my season. Barely anybody had left and Paddy was just leading the orchestra, absolute quality.
rofl. Big fuss being made that Evra wiped his butt with a france t-shirt.
Vid only shows him pull it out from where hes sitting and then smelling it whilst Ribery looks at him :s
What an absolute nothing story.
Comments section already swarmed by Liverpool fans unsurprisingly.
