Evra: I Want To Be Better Than Evra Of A Year Ago

Patrice Evra is enjoying a good start to the season so far and was one of the few players who put in a good 90 minutes against Arsenal last weekend.

He says he isn’t thinking about being the best left-back in the world, rather what he can do to improve on his performances and form.

“I always think more can be done because I always want to develop,” said Evra. “I’m happy when people praise me but I love to work hard and I want to get even better. I always say the most difficult part of being a footballer isn’t making it to the top, it’s about staying at the top and making those tiny improvements that help you stand out from the rest. I’m happy with my current form but I know I can do better. I don’t think about trying to be the best left back in the world – I just think about improving all the parts of my own game and being better than Patrice Evra was a year ago.”

    evra seems to have his own media company , he’s always talking
    but the best thing about that is he’s always saying the right thinks. and it doesnt matter what he thinks about it he is the best left back in the world

    Evra has licence to talk…he is a winner, in the best football club in the world, managed by the best manager in world…playing with the best footballers in the world..this gives the lad confidence to talk!

    LET HIM TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The French are pretty lucky to have Evra and Clichy as back up, for my money those two are defenitely competing for the honour… The difference obviously favouring Paddy because he has more experience, but Clichy has some serious pace to burn… I was pretty mad when Paddy didn’t score in the final part of the game against Arsenal, as I had my money on a 3-1 win to us!!! And who can forget that piledriver that David James finger tip saved in the FA cup semi final a couple of seasons ago…

    Ah Paddy… How I love thee….

    Aside from Fletch and Rooney, Pat has arguably been our best player thus far this season. Seems to be regaining the form from 2 seasons ago. Love the bloke.

    hope he plays well against lennon!

  12. Dani says:

    @Muggaz, isn’t the France left back disputed by Evra and Abidal? I think those two are above Clichy.

    evra for everrr!! xxx

  14. Red-Manc says:

    Evra does a hell of alot of talking recently, but thankfully he’s one of the few players that talk sense.

    He’s a top bloke and player he’s got the right attitude to play for this club.

    Top lad!

    Love @Gotta hate tiny tears comment: “evra seems to have his own media company” ha ha

  16. Kassahun says:

    Evra ! What a wonderful committed player. We need such a player in addition to Rooney, Fletcher, Vidic , Rio……

  17. Darius C says:

    I think with the way SAF has him bombing forward, at times we could use Evra on the left wing with Fabio behind him, especially if we are missing Nani!!

    I sincerely hope we can hold on to Evra, along with Rooney and Fletcher, he is the only one showing 100% consistency in our first 11….

  18. Sketch says:

    I love Evra. He says the right things and seems to be the sort of guy who oozes confidence. My Favourite player in a red shirt! Hopefully he will carry on playing this well for the rest of the season.

  19. Will H says:

    Evra is champ! Perhaps he may have had a dip in 07-08, but he is solid in defence, can make great runs at the opposing goal, and I salivate over his superb crosses. This man trumps the useless Anderson anyday.
