Man United fans: What do you make of Fergie's comments? Plus What is your view on Jonny Evans?

"I thought Rio had his best game of the season on Wednesday," said the United manager.

"The experience we have with Rio, with one of the younger defenders alongside him, I think will be a good combination.

"We have to think about three games in seven days for Rio, but in this situation I'm sure he'll want to play on Saturday [when United are at home to Wolves].

"His form over the last few weeks has been very good and it probably isn't a problem for him, playing against Wolves.

"But we have to consider the fact he's 33 now and had injury issues over the last two or three years, particularly with his back.

"We just have to measure it closely in terms of how he feels and how he's looking."

You're clutching at straws Fergie...literally

"I thought Rio had his best game of the season on Wednesday," - If his 'best game' results in us conceding 2 goals and getting eliminated ....I shudder to think how many 'normal' games and how many 'bad games' (like demolition derby) he's going to have

"The experience we have with Rio, with one of the younger defenders alongside him, I think will be a good combination." - WRONG.

Rio and Smalling - two cultured ball playing defenders together? No... recipe for disaster as one of them will give the ball away trying to do too much instead of just putting the boot through it

Rio and Jones - No again because of the before mentioned reason

Rio and Evans - This is supposed to work well but doesnt because ONLY Vidic can make that clown Rio look good..Evans has been poor lately and playing him with Rio would be even worse - like demolition derby

PLAY JONES/SMALLING and Jonny Evans in Central Defender

The ball player (Smalling or Jones) --- Bruiser (Evans) combo works best

Dump Rio for good . THANKS.

PS: Why the hel is Carrick starting ahead of Fletcher?

I've seen every one of Evans' 100 games since he broke through from the academy thank you very much.

Evans has talent as proved from the first 50 or so games.

The last 40 or so have not fulfilled the initial promise he showed...give the lad a break..he's just going through a bad spell. He will be back.

He's been made the scapegoat for the demolition derby when in reality it was Evra and Ferdi-crock who were really poor...Ferdinand must go. Now.

Evans will prove you wrong . Mark my words.

Most people, as Fergie said, would have said the same about Giggs, Scholes etc when they broke through. Same would have been said about Fletcher, O Shea , Brown when they broke through. It always happens with academy talent.

Fergie is not one of those fair weather fools who support a player when he's great then call him names based on ONE bad spell.

The people who are calling for Evans' head now were the same fools who asked Rooney (our only world class player atm) to be sold when he was having a bad spell.

They are those Chicharito ( uncreative poacher ) loving disloyal disgraces who dont understand the sentiments of watching a lad break through from the academy. They are the 'glory hunting' Man United fans who know eff all about the United way.

In Evans We Trust!

OQ- Squad for today? Time to drop De Gea and give Anders a run?

mine - Lindegaard, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Valencia, Nani, Rooney, Berbatov

Subs- De Gea, Fryers, Ferdinand, Park J, Giggs, Macheda, Welbeck

Update:

Stamford Blues - I admire Chelsea a lot. In fact after United, Everton, Bolton, Spurs..Chelsea are my fifth fave team

    I'm not going to read all that and i'll just answer the question.

    I don't mind Jonny Evans. In fact, I kind of like him as a player. Besides the red card against City he has been solid so far this season. He is good in the air, comfortable with both feet, calm in possession, good tackler of the ball. These are some of his strengths. Judging by the games he played this season he looks as if he has improved a lot since last season. Starting to play like the Evans 2 or 3 years ago where he performed well against the likes of Chelsea. Perhaps even better. I'd like him to get some game time.

    EDIT: I just read your take on Rio. I have to disagree with you. Rio is past his prime, definitely. But he still has the ability to be that absolute classy defender we all came to love a few seasons ago every once in a while. And his experience is absolutely vital. To be honest with you I see glimpses of Rio in Jonny Evans. Evans is SO calm on the ball just like Rio. Rare you find that in a young player. The youngsters can still learn so much from him.

    OQ: The team playing is already out. Here it is:

    De Gea, Smalling, Evans, Rio, Evra,Nani, Valencia, Carrick, Jones(still in that midfield role),Rooney,Welbeck.

    I don't mind De Gea. He's been magnificent considering he's only 21, migrated to a foreign country, had to learn a new language and get used to a different style of play. I think he has done exceptionally well. It's impossible to be too harsh on him. Very soon he will turn into a world class keeper(he isn't that short off tha mark already!) He needs the games though. I think Anders would get to play in the Europa.
