    Cheers did think so after my post but was wondering if it was Welbeck. Used to hd quality television lol.

    Its not great defending but its not as if he made no attempt and no one else made a challenge. Evras biggest problem is any winger that can take him on in a one on one.

    I can...

    He keeps getting into great areas but has little to no end product whatsoever

    Come on, his link up play, good ball control. He is like a winger who can't shoot nor cross.

    which is reeeeeeeealllly useful eh?

    Not to mention that while doing that, he's leaving us vulnerable in defence

    Things that I mentioned can be worked on.
    And I was talking about offense, his defensive side is not worth a mention...

    You dont really work on and drastically improve when your that age though. the only way hed look a better player again is if someone covered for his limitations or our style of play changed which really suited him.

    I don't think he's that good offensively. He makes some amazing runs but his delivery is shocking and he can be predictable.

    Anyone who still doubts that Evra is a shadow of the man he once was, just watch the European final of 2008.

    I still get annoyed when I see his amazing run in extra time where he put a goal on a plate for Giggs, only for the latter to toe poke the ball into the middle of the goal for Terry to clear :mad:

    Rafael was to blame more than Evra for the Everton game

    In terms of the actual goals, he wasn't. Evans was the worst defender of the lot though - it was like watching the Evans of last season.

    Nah, the collective effort of our back line was horrible. Especially Evans, who was having a terrific run of form had his first bad game in a while..

    Nani and Young make better fullbacks than Pat. So does Rooney, Welbeck, Chicharito and Owen.

    Edit: And Pogba, Giggs, Scholes, Park and Fletcher.

    Evra's been a liability to us for some time now. If his attacking play was quality, I could have been biased but it isn't and his defending in one on one's is like shooting a bb gun at a freight train. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes elsewhere this summer.
