The other side of the pro argument is that they're both better equipped to recover from each others brain farts than Evans is. Won`t base any judgement on one game, no matter how poor, and that applies to both Jonny and Wesley. Admittedly, Jonny's game was a bit of a shocker and he has of late not been at his best, whereas Fofana's was his first poor show, and even then still had some good parts. Jonny has much more credit in the bank I would argue though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will say that Europe after we've done the biz on Thursday would be the perfect free hit for Project Soyfana 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester_Loyal 4,778 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Thankfully we can probably give him a rest in the final two EL games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackFox 25 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 I believe that his head is still in that Liverpool match, he feels responsible for that loss, which he totally isn't IMO. Rodgers did good playing him tonight. It's was an important match and Evans needed that confidence and trust from his manager. It's just a mental thing and and it effects even a player of his caliber and his experience. Another smart decision from BR and it payed off in a way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
honeybradger 602 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 Ive slated him for his ball playing ability in the past but he's been a rock defensively since he's come here, sad to see him struggle like this but hopefully he can get back to his best as he's an important player for us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot 1,168 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 Ever since he looked like he tried to get himself suspended tail end of last season I've been unconvinced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eblair 361 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 our best cb yesterday, also given fofana's can we all get a grip on reality (bloke is 19 and looks amazing but he's 19!) evans is our best cb at the club; the others may have a higher ceiling but evans is by some way our most consistent and reliant cb 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftfagos 44 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 He doesn't look very happy to me. Noticed he doesn't seem to participate in any goal celebrations although I can understand not wanting to run the risk of anyone jumping on his back. Has this always been the case or has there been a falling out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cadno'r Cymoedd 1,601 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 I think he's had his head turned. At least when it comes to heading in the box. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greg2607 155 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 (edited) If he is suffering from a lower back problem, then it could be causing all sorts of mobility issues for him. I had to stop playing a high level of football as a centre back due to a Chronic Lower back injury. Ultimately, led to less power in my legs, couldn't stretch for those tackles that you'd normally win, couldn't accelerate as quick so struggled in the foot race against a forward, jumping was painful, hamstrings were tight. If he isn't "Fully" recovered, he could be finding it frustrating and those small percentages add up to struggling for positioning, winning the 50-50's etc. Edited 27 November 2020 by Greg2607 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coolhandfox 2,803 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 I will say it again, no pre-season and a back problem, he's doing fine under the circumstances. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He does tend to have a serious face on him mostly, not sure he's miserable and it was just a wee borrow of the taxi surely.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RowlattsFox 2,200 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 Has the look of someone who is worried about something at the minute. Whether that be bad form or his back is concerning him. No need for the over the top reactions, he was fine before his latest injury, if not right at his best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love seeing him in the tunnel prior to a game, no pissing about he's just concentrating. When we scored the 8th at Southampton he didn't want to celebrate he wanted to ball so we could get the 9th. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M0901 1,071 Posted 27 November 2020 Report Share Posted 27 November 2020 Dominic Calvert Lewin said on a Q&A today that Evans is the toughest defender he’s faced. The guy asking the question then said that surprised him and expected him to say someone like Van Dijk 🙄 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
