Evra's magic

**Torque** · 03-09-2008, 11:03 AM

Is Patrice taking lessons from Ronaldo?

I have noticed that Evra has a great technique, great dribbling so I was thinking if he could be taking some lessons from Ronaldo.

After watching him playing at United, I have to say that he's kind of an universal left side player. He became essential to our defense and I have to say Thank God Heinze left!

There's one thing that irritates me though: he works constantly every match, and when it gets to choosing man of the match, it goes to Ronaldo, Rooney or Tevez just because they scored a goal or had a decent display. And that's wrong, in my opinion.

evra has been a great signing and I totally agree that he doesnt get the credit he deserves... but he gets on with it all the same.

best LB in the premiership, no question.

he was actually a striker for a long time while in france, italy and then france again. he happened to play left back on a whim and it's turned out wonderfully for him. I think a lot of his best qualities are his advancing play which is due to his striking days. that said his defense is majorly underappreciated.

Yeah, he's been a great signing indeed. Can't imagine the lineup without him now. And that makes sense that he used to be a striker, every time I watch him play I've thought to myself what a great striker he would make.

Patrice is enjoying his football at united and i hope it will continue.
I don t really think that his taking lessons from Ronaldo,he was technically gifted before and he shows why he is the boss on the left side in every match.
Ferdinand was a striker,Evra was.we have back up there up front!

Patrice Evra on a french radio programm said he wasn't afraid by Arsenal, because we already beat them 4-0 this season and that he didn't think they would last the whole campaign !!!! ^^

he even said, he thought french media were in love for arsenal becuaes of arsene wenger, and that after winning the PL last year, he felt we just won the coca cola championship referying to the way the french media covered the event !!!!!!!!

It is a joy watching Pat play. He has developed in a great way the two last seasons and is one Uniteds most important players.

Certainly was an excellent signing, he and Vidic have come on leaps and bounds.
