Deeg67 Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 Maguire offers more going forward and Morgan has actually been decent most of the season, but Evans is certainly the best central defender we have at actually stopping scoring chances. To be fair, Evans has had a lot of nagging injuries all season starting in camp, or he would have played more. I think Evans should be playing every week if he’s healthy but as long as the opponent isn’t pacey up front, Morgan has been fine.

He started off shaky as **** plus the two red cards . He then had a handfull of games where he was probably our best defender but the last few matches he’s been ropey again

Evans and Soyuncu/Maguire/Benny is my shout for next year's pairing.
Analysethis Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 I think Evans is currently our best centre back. As much as I love Wes, watching him at times this season reminds me of watching Mike Tyson when he was coming out fighting against Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. Two fighters he would have knocked out in his peak within a minute but got beat by both. I felt sorry for the legend that is Tyson back then and yesterdays performance when Wes looked like he couldnt jump for a cross he was defending or running in the wind was really hard to see. Its now at the point where I feel sorry for the bloke. I know he is our skipper and I know Soyuncu hasnt worked out as planned but for the love of god, give him a coaching role and bring back Benkovic so he can integrate with his team mates for the back end of this season and more importantly the start of next.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 20 January 2019 Posted 20 January 2019 I'd argue that Evans is our best CB. If it's possible him and Maguire should be our first choice pairing for the remainder of the season. Wes has been awful for 75% of the season, yet still continues to get picked, it really is time to start phasing him out, but I fear Puel won't.
Ian Nacho Posted 21 January 2019 Author Posted 21 January 2019 Seems a strange one. Been solid for most games he's been put in but Wes seems to get ahead of him still. Same goes for Soyuncu.

Deeg67 Posted 21 January 2019 Posted 21 January 2019 Again, Evans hasn’t been healthy for sizable chunks of the season. Unfit for some games, sometimes unfit for training. Yes he should have played more even so but that has been a factor.
rachhere Posted 21 January 2019 Posted 21 January 2019 Glad to see it's working out for him, as I know in general people weren't convinced at first. Amazing signing for the price we paid really.

Finnegan Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 What a ****ing legend. Best performance for us so far today.
StriderHiryu Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Currently the best CB at our club. Great performance today.
Izzy Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 And only 31 years young. Reckon he’s got another couple of seasons in him at least.
Lionheart10 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 I think Evans has a steadying influence over Maguire like Huth had over Morgan.
TJB-fox Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 One of the most complete centre halves we've ever had. So calming and professional and composed in everything he does.

Haywood_6 Posted 28 April 2019 Posted 28 April 2019 Absolutely class player. Makes it looks effortless
