Fergie:
''Jonny Evans' form has been absolutely brilliant so I don't have any real concerns about who I play because they're all playing particularly well."
Really? Out of all our defenders, you single out Jonny bloody Evans for praise? Now I know he's been ok, but I swear he's making mistakes time and time again. Off the top of my head
vs Arsenal - conceded penalty, unnecesaary
vs Chelsea - too late to come out leading to both Ramires and Torres open net chances (was the last man on both occassions)
vs Benfica - let Cardoza bring ball down, turn, and shoot without putting in a foot
vs Norwich - he got outclassed by their lone striker. Ended up on the floor half the time and Jones covered for him countless times
Looking at those quotes from Fergie, looks like the boy is going to start which means another 90mins where us fans hold our breathe and pray everytime the ball goes near him!
Am I the only one who thinks Evans should be our 5th choice CB not 2nd/3rd (which is what Fergie deems him apparatly)
Have I been watching someone else?!

Nah, all fergie's mind games. He'll praise Evans and play Rio and vidic.

Would you have written such an article had he said "Phil Jones' form has been absolutely brilliant"
Phil has had an equal amount of dodgy moments... it doesn't mean either have been anything but great, considering.

If Johnny starts going forward as well as getting caught out of position maybe people will think he's world class

Johnny Evans is dog sh*te. Hes the new Gibson.

Actually, I critisized Jones in an article 2 days ago and listed a series of mistakes he made that elad to goals.
But where in this article did I praise Jones? Okay I said I'd prefer Jones over Evans but that's becuase I believe he is physically up to the task. Evans is a bully victim

Oh and Evans got murdered at Anfield last year. Man I wish Smalling was fit

All i'm saying is give the guy a break.... If he is our 5th choice, then what a fantastic 5th choice to have.
Smalling is out, Vidic is not match fit and who knows what Rio's fitness is like.
Jones, as good as he is, he not been invloved in a Pool v UTD game... Johnny has experience that we will need... if those 2 start in CB

If he plays, of course Ill back him but if Rio, Vidic and Jones are all deemed match fit, and Evans still plays......lets jsut say Ill be a little peed off

however jones is a midfielder in my eyes.
________________________________
Why, because he likes to run forward and has a decent pass
Typical english mentality.
Find all the CBs, all those that can hoof it really far, stay as CBs, all the rest i.e. those who can control a ball, move up to midfield please
