He misjudged the flight of the ball, and then maintained a position a yard away from Benteke for a few seconds allowing him to get his tremendous shot away It's a great goal, but it is poor from Evans.
 
He's just horribly mediocre. No better than Vlaar or Okore in this Villa team and they are a lower league side.

Him and Fletcher have been by far our worst performers this season.

How was he at fault for the goal?

Are you being serious? Please watch the goal again. In fact, I'll try to send you a video.

Here it is:

And this is discounting the worst mistake of it all, his horrendous defending and misjudgment when the ball's crossed in.
 
He's just not a good player. People said he was good on the ball, but passing wise he fecks up more then smalling or Jones. Defensively he's not very good either. He won't be here next season.
 
Forget his defending, his ball distribution(mainly down to his decision making) is dreadfull this season. He always has the simple pass, but no, he delays the passing and ruins the attack, only to run himself in blind street, and then panics it and puts someone else in danger.
He's very lucky that he is naturally left side CB otherwise I am not sure he would get much minutes this season on this form.
 


For all that think hes blameless look at the goal. He isnt tight enough to Benteke for one and misjudging the flight of the ball which he should be cutting out. He does that and theres no goal. At this level mistakes like losing the flight of the ball cost you and it did

Actually this is a better one @Ole's_toe_poke.
 
It's just a great finish FFS.

The only thing he did wrong was perhaps not winning the header. From there on Benteke has a lot to do and he does it brilliantly including finishing with his wrong foot. Evans had his angle covered and he came up with a great finish.

His passing has been shit though. Unquestionably.

Certain players will be crucified even if they make the smallest of errors.
 
If Evans had the angle covered, how did the ball end up in the goal?

Evans lost his bearings after getting caught under the flight of the ball. He never got his head back and into a good position to restict Benteke
 
Who's bright idea was it to have Evans mark Benteke from set-pieces? Twice it happened and twice they nearly scored.
 
Thought the criticism was a bit over stated for Evans recently(after the MK game mostly) but he really seems to be playing at a level below what he was before the MK Dons match. Confidence seems to be completely shot.
 
Not good enough. Move him on, or use him as a squad player only. Should not be an automatic starter post January.
 
We need a one in, one out for CBs right now. Unfortunately we are not in a position to offload Evans until we get a replacement for him. He puts us into so much danger with wayward passing and being out of position!
 
It's incredible how basically some lost cases upped their game with LVG in the driving seat yet a defender who I thought was our best defender before this season started managed to slide down so fecking much, painful to watch. He's been outplayed like three times in that one attack from which Villa scored and then he somehow managed to slow everything down, even when he was rushing at their goal he still slowed things down.
 
No change in his recent form.
 
He's not good enough anymore. Plain and simple. Getsme needs to stop defending this clown and see what actually happens.
