Evra kicks off at Irons

Just informed my pal Matt he'd better not shout at Patrice Evra, though if Patrice can get to the crowd at the London Stadium he'll have done well. And if he does reach Row 44 we'll let Nigel sort him out. No doubt his signing from Marseille (where he kicked a fan in the head during the warm-up, as you do) will cause howls of outrage on some sites, but he's obviously not being signed to take us to "the next level". Yes Evra's 36, but he's won everything there is and if Moyes wants a bit of cover for Cresswell until the end of the season then let him have him. He'll certainly bring a bit of creative tension to the pre-match warm-ups.

Excellent overview, very funny.
My only fear is he pulls a muscle in the warm up and disappears for the rest of the season!
As you say he could be a positive influence on squad and be cover if needed.

Top man, Patrice - I will be right behind him. Well, about half a mile behind him. I'd rather thought he was signed as cover for Arthur so we should see him on Saturday, with Cresswell staying on the left of the three CBs. Giving us wing-backs with a combined age of 70.

Unless Cresswell stays at left back with Reid, Ogbonna and Rice or Collins in the middle. Evra must be struggling for fitness after so long out. Though if he does play our 70-year old (combined) wingbacks might be the oldest wingers in town... Good news Arnie is back.
