Cathcart certainly the weak link in the back 3, shame they wasted their set-pieces on their few forays forward.

evans and McCauley felt right at home playing in a team with no shots on target and the opposition having 70% possession.

I thought Evans looks a bit exposed when he moved to LB. He was done for pace on a couple of occasions. It just highlights that he shouldn't really be playing there and hope we don't see him shoved out there again for us next season either.

Thought Evans did well he had a running battle with Lewandowski all game but he did well against him

Evans is class, fought all match, brought the ball out, then played out of position to his detriment.
Round peg square hole does not work.

Where does Jonny rank in terms of centre backs at the club? Probably the best we've had during the modern Premier League era for me, where does he rank all time?

Loved him man marking Lewandowski. Hardly gave him a sniff. Will have to do a similar job vs Muller

Agreed which makes it even more frustrating to see him at LB. He'll start the season at LB and stay there until Brunt is fit I reckon.

depends on who the ref is, he got away with a lot with the Romanian guy, some of the tackles and off the ball stuff would usually be fouls.

True, but I expect Jonny to know where the line is

Toss up between him and Davies in my opinion, harder to judge based on them being very different.

He gave as good as he got.

Robert Lewandowski is no shrinking violet.

He could have been penalised for quite a few things himself with a different ref too.

imho as of yet not as good as
Wile
Robertson
Bennett
Ehiogu (didn't know he was spuds u21 coach)
Whyte, just rated him highly.

Chester. Davies. Evans
Would make a great back 3 ??

Hull Baggie · « **Reply #318 on:** June 17, 2016, 08:47:05 AM »

Another outstanding display from Evans; kept the much praised and sought after Yarmolenko quiet.

Yes but we were not in the Prem with those very good players.

Sorry I see.
But in Premier terms he could be one of the best? At this moment in time hard to say with him out of position.In Prem terms only I would say Olsson and Gmac have been our best CB's. Evens played there will I am sure be a good contender.

All time is an impossible question to answer. Since the 70's I'd say Evans is top 5 along with Wile, Robertson, Bennett and Whyte.

I agree mate but will we see enough of evans in that position? and when you think about it we haven't had many CBs during our time in the prem.

Not in a settled Prem team mate? Up and down. I do think Gmac and Evans for next season.But we will see?
