Its pretty simple imo. We dont have a settled RB, makes sense to have a settled Right CB. Whoever plays at RB thus knows what to expect from vidic because he'l always be the closest CB to them.
On the left, evra's a certainty while with rio's injuries, the Left CB will be different players at different times. whoever it is makes sense to have them always be with evra.
1 settled player on either side really. to avoid all kinds of chaos in case rio gets injured and we have both a new RB and a new Right CB.
I think you're on to something, and what I was about to say.
I think it is about consistency. Rio won't play every game. I think Evans is third choice, and when he and Vidic plays, Evans plays on the left.
So basically, to disrupt as little as possible, keep Vidic on the right.
Be interesting to see if he keeps Vidic on the right when partnered with Smalling.
Anyhow, great to have Rio AND Vidic back and playing well!
