How to solve a problem like Patrice

Evra's bad form seems to be continuing into the start of this season and despite being one of our senior and highest rated players is being overshadowed by the new recruits and even Jonny Evans.

Is it time for Fabio to be given a run in or Evans to be moved to LB?

At least for a few weeks while Evra sorts his form out.

Sorry but Evra is still a crucial part of the team. Yes, he does have his weaknesses defensively (but then so does Fabio) but the support he gives to the attack going forward is too important to lose.

It was the World Cup screwed him up - leader of the French rebellion and all. He's never been quite as sharp since.

Gary Neville was bob on re club vs country. I hate it when a player I like gets selected for England.

Captain Fantastic - Vidic is the new Chuck Norris (U1042)

Like i said i think he was one of the best in the world and can make a real difference to the team, but for me last year he was a shadow of his former self.

I actually don't think he's past it, just in a bad patch of form.

He was certainly out of position for both goals against Arsenal, and didn't exactly cover himself in glory against Man City. However, would we have scored 8 without him? I think his constant bombing forward down the left gives Young the option to do what he does best and cut inside.
What frustrates me with Evra though is that he needs to be more selfish when he does get into the final third. Constantly he gets into the box and attempts a pass or cross that isn't on.
And to the guy who said Jonny Evans isn't overshadowing anybody, you either need to watch our games again or stop watching football altogether.

It is natural that he would start to decline as he is in his 30s now but he will still be first choice with Fabio getting some of the 'easier' games, for want of a better word, to give him experience.

Not sure anyone but jones is blameless for the 2nd Arsenal goal, it was 6-1 and they all thought they could get on the score sheet

Park should have been covering Van Persie for the 2nd Arsenal goal, he just seemed to watch him

Evras positioning is terrible. Hes not as fast as he once was and I dont think he makes a good captain.

He is good going forward and his link up play with Young has been good aswell.

But I want a left back who can defend! And he cant! Anyone else think its a waste Madrid bought Coentrao but play him CM?
