So you think Evans is not at the level he was a few years ago, personally age has nothing to do with it as with Vards players get better with age. Percy seems to think that he is one of the best by a country mile, not many seem to disagree.

This was not aimed at you personally but many thought he was on the decline and finished, the guy is class and as I said still one the best today, just look at the Percy tweet. For 3.5 million he was an absolute steel.

Quite embarrassing reading some of the posts on page 1 of this thread, how some can question him is beyond me. He is the glue that holds our defence together and one of the best central defenders in the Premier league. Let's hope that this foot injury doesn't continue to effect him, we are fooked if it does.

Especially when you look at what Youri got booked for, refereeing becoming a joke.

Agree, although sometimes you have to go through a bit of pain to get that backbone, hopefully recruit well and go again next season.

End of the day injuries cost us, even on the last day we lose a defender, had the same 14 players playing the last 10 or so games, ran out of steam, some of them not even fit. Our first 14/15 players are as good as any, after that our squad lacks depth, need to add in the summer and again. Makes the cup win even more a fantastic achievement COYF.

Just arrived, envelope a bit tatty but programme thankfully okay.

Not hard but Perez was decent, did more in his cameo than Maddison.

If the players come on after and apologise they can do one. Mendy on shutting up shop.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think we will see the real Riccy again, looks so far off his game. Just hope a full pre season he gets his full fitness back. We look leggy and broken really sad to see, as sorry as it is cannot see us winning again this season, the teams to play will pick us off with ease.p

Spot on was just thinking the same thing.

Played Perez, excellent today.

Thats the night he got injured as well

Fofana back training on Monday and looks like Dennis will start training on 8th March, probably a couple weeks after that before match selection. Feel Madders will be around this time too. Just got to try and get a few results until we get everyone back.

Normally there is always 1 player who stands out when we have a performance like that, today I couldn't pick out 1 player who played well. Just hope it is a one off, need to ensure that madders is right before we play him again. Played him at Everton last year which put him out for the season and started the slump. Hopefully we will learn from last season and have a reaction and kick on.
