By all accounts Evans was relieved when the the City move fell through, make of that what you will but i think we will see the best of Johnny Evans this season.

I guess he'll be fit for Saturday then!

I guess he'll be fit for Saturday then!

Was there ever a doubt he wouldn't if he was still here.

[liverbaggie]

If were still in the hunt for a euro place at Christmas,why even consider selling Evans,surely you want our best players going for it,anyway I think he's happy here,top player,top man.

I will make a prediction now.In January we will be considering bids of £40 million for this guy

[MarkW]

If it's not related to transfers rumours, it shouldn't be in this thread

[liverbaggie]

Why would we want to sell him? For the money?
He is worth much more to us,a class act and a proud skipper.
Those who keep saying he will go in january answer us why you think that's a good idea please,its a ridiculous idea.

We wouldn't even consider a bid like that, it wouldn't need considering.
We'd bite someone's hand off for it

[Hull Baggie]

Maybe Evans really was injured after all.

[barnestormer]

Is the NI manager his agent too by the way as he's still gobbing off in the press telling everyone and his dog that all the top teams have missed out on a great player,ffs shut up

[liverbaggie]

Hey Bs,I totally agree with you,he seems to forget that he is our player,I'm surprised that Tone hasn't had a word with him.
Stick to your own job O' Neil if you don't mind.
We all know that you are trying to get a prem job while your going is good.
Wait till you lose a few,you'll be glad of your current job then eh?

[The Joust]

Fact? Can you show me that then?

Cheers, didn't see any fact around the original time of posting which is why I asked

[MarkW]

I repeat, if it's not a transfer rumour, it doesn't go in this thread. Asking if he will play is not a transfer rumour

[SirTonyPulis]

Just checked some stats. Since last season with Evans as a central defender we have kept 4 clean sheets in 26 games. With a different cb pairing weve kept since the start of last season 4 clean sheets in 11 games.

Because when Evans is injured Pulis is forced to play fullbacks at fullback due to the lack of centre backs he can shoehorn into the team and mess up the defence. Football really is simpler game than Pulis makes out, play football players in the positions they have grown up playing and are comfortable in and you're halfway there.

[TheJacko2000]

He's a good player. The best of the 4 of them today certainly.


Let's not try and find something that isn't there...

The only difference is that Brunt is playing there and he isnt really a fullback but I do think thats his best position. I like Pulis overall but some of the decisions he makes are questionable. Nyom should only play as a right back or central defender. I dont think that Gibbs is good defensively so that would end up as another choice that will make us leak goals.

[TheBrom]

Evans back in the team, 3 goals conceded. Where's that new 100k contract

[iwastherein68]

Do not be in any rush to offer a massive increase to Jonny , we did very nicely without him. TP screwed us up today, by changing the whole defence to accommodate him.

And if Evans hadn't played and we still conceded 3 then Pulis would be crucified by some for not picking him !!

Bset defender at the club and he has to play, Pulis mistake was picking Hegazi alongside him instead of Dawson who he knows better.

[Legend]

The statistics don't lie

Evans defends for himself

All fancy passing, and lots of defensive mistakes

#overrated

Yeah he's rubbish, can't believe Arsenal, City and Leicester wanted him.
