Seriously ppl rating blackett ahead of Evans?
He has potential but Evans was our main cb in that match. He didn't made a mistake while blackett let the ball bounced and the striker thru
Fans being harsh! Actually all our CBs got room to improve in terms of their form and performances, so no need to be overly brutal in flaming them

Blackett is promising, no doubt. Hope he can continue to improve and cut out that kinda error from his game (and also improve his passing game a bit). Probably just needs time under LVG.
Evans is 26, he needs to work on cutting out his errors / lapses. Don't know if it's an attention thing or something else but that is what is hurting him. Smalling kinda has the same issue, he can deliver solid performances but is prone to lapses at times. They both can deliver good performances (good ceiling) but they need to raise their minimum level (floor) to a better consistent level.
Jones on the other hand needs to adapt his play-style so he doesn't need to be so gung-ho all the time and get injured quite so much... else he will lose out in the long run in terms of fulfilling his potential due to his time out with injuries.
Rojo is very aggressive according to Herrera.. which is good. We need some aggression in our defense, can't be reactive and passive. Smalling and Evans have both conceded goals due to this at times. You know, the kind where when you see the replay they have their eyes on the player/ball but are a step or two too slow or not proactive enough in trying to deal with it? That kinda thing. Could be an issue with improving their reading of the game, could be them being too slow to react, idk.
