He is just such a disappointment for us right now. The guy has played in our first team for over half a decade and he should technically be one of our leaders at the back, yet you would think Blackett was the more experienced one. Evans just has mistake written all over him these days.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Given up on him becoming a mainstay in our defence. Not helping our defensive frailties with his injuries and lapses in concentration.
Jonny Injured has been Evans again.
Evans with a boot on. We need to splash some cash and get a top defender who isn't made of wet toilet paper.
I'm tired of this shit, fecking another injury, another substition we have to waste on one of our glass defenders because they get injured 24/7, move him on, we can't afford to have three injury-error prone CBs who can't get a fecking run of games together because they get injured 24/7.
Also, him and Rafael can't mark fecking central striker who's only Leicester's attacking player in the box for the first goal, laughable.

Another damn injury. I'm pretty close to officially giving up on him.
He was at his best whenever he played alongside Rio, it was a class partnership.
What even happened to him? I glanced down, look back and he is limping off and then returns in a fecking moonboot? Did he get a tackle? Or twist it? Or what?
He is ment to be our senior defender. The one to help the others out but another injury is another blow for him. He always seems to get long term injuries as well. Never just a couple of weeks, always months. Had his leg in a boot, could be just precautionary as they said but hope it isn't serious for his sake.

Sick of this. Made of glass
Bye Evans.
His positioning was awful today. The gap between him and Blackett was massive at times, and as senior defender it should be he that organises the defence.
I'm just not even going to class him in our defenders to select anymore, it's pointless when he is made of glass.
So do 1000's of players every weekend.
Falcao and Di Maria got sad abuse today but, I don't see them on crutches right now.
Vidic was in the wars non stop when he was here but, he wasn't injured every few weeks.
Seems like it's a regular occurrence
Was never convinced by him. Made of glass. We need a proper, experienced central defender.
We're not going to win anything this season, so this is the time to look for the future. Not only Evans is always injured, he's not really up to the required quality. The defending for the first "goal" was criminal. I'd rather see Blackett getting valuable experience whenever Jones/Smalling are not available. They deserve a chance to form a partnership....that in case they can stay fecking fit. Perhaps play Rojo in the middle and Shaw at LB.
FFS, give the man a break we have no idea how bad the kick was, his he landed on his foot, his bad the injury even us.
Evans us the blame even when he's not playing
And it's going to cause injuriesIt's a game of football, that's going to happen.

I'm not blaming him for anything today....But, it's a very valid point, as it seems to be with a lot of our defenders
Why are they so injury prone?
No idea, it's something we've had for years with no end in sight.
About Evans, I would understand the annoyance if Evans got a muscle injury again but he got a kick, that's why I find the posts frustrating.
Been far too injury prone lately. Seems to have lost a yard of pace, too.
Times up for Jonny now IMO, How long can we persevere with his stop start career at the club, I think he is a good player when he is on form but his form has been awful this season and now yet another injury, I have always defended him but I would be starting Blackett, Jones, probably Rojo and a new cb we NEED in January over Evans, it's a shame but like with the others that have departed, there is no room for sentiment anymore
So wrong on so many points!
But to blame a player for getting injured if laughable, terrible post, go sit in the corner...
I have always supported Evans but the man is made of paper. Add to the fact that he is struggling with the current setup and he really is begging to be sold.
Clearly not cut out for any kind of leadership in the back, physically as well as mentally. Looked to be cementing his position as a regular two seasons ago and has gone downhill.

It's annoying, but you can't have a pop at the lad for being injury prone. However, the club has a decision to make on his future, because we can't plan ahead and build a solid defensive foundation with Evans as a first choice - it constantly leaves us in the lurch.
Ha!
So it's not a valid question to ask why our defenders are injured so often? This, despite our manager, even evaluating his own methods because of these injuries.
Perhaps he should join QPR then.
It's a shame really because early on the guy had so much potential to develope into a really good defender. However, I reckon his continous injuries have probably dented his confidence and stiffled his development. He can't be relied on now and we shouldn't be thinking of him as a mainstay. Wouldn't get rid of him though, since he would make good cover.
Sorry but missed the point where you questioned why our defenders get injured?
You were simply having a go at Evans for allowing himself to be injured.
And he was kicked as per Van Gaal's comment, so why as why he was injured as you know the answer.
And as for Vidic not being injured lol, where were you during his last 3 season? It was a regular occurrence, stop changing history to prove your point.
I had big expectations for him this season. His footballing abilities were suppose to come to the fore with the 352. He'd establish himself as the leader of the backline as a result but alas. More injuries and a clear lack of nous when on the pitch. Oh well.
Fair enough, he got kicked today
I'm not having a go at him for being injured....If I was, I'd come out and say "he's a tit, whose always injured. Ship him out"
And it's a very fair question! It seems you only have to look at one of our defenders and they are injured these days.
Evans is constantly in and out with injuries and has been for years now. It's a regular occurrence.
Whats the betting Smalling gets injured next week
He really needs to improve his performances. His injuries are frustrating but they are harder to stop. Don't know what he was doing for the first goal.
He always looks to blame other people. Moments after the first goal he was laying into De Gea for what he thought was the wrong pass.
It doesn't really matter if it's his fault - the guy is consistently injured. This puts him in the Hargreaves and Saha category of players on whom you cannot rely to be healthy for an extended run.
Noticed that. Someone said last week that Evans always appears to have a problem with DDG, and thinking about it now he does seem to always have this annoyed look on his face when he communicates with de Gea.
Lets not create this myth. Defenders and goalies are always blaming each other regardless.
Soon he's going to have to move on, he's not capable of playing even half a season consistently. In his few appearances under Van Gaal so far I think he's been pretty poor, and I'd rather almost any of our options start over him.
I'd be shocked if him, Smalling and Jones were all still here next season, they are made of Digestive biscuits.
