In the twilight of his career, Manchester United's Jonny Evans continues to demonstrate his dependability, particularly in defensive robustness. Despite his age, he's a stalwart when it comes to aerial duels, boasting one of the highest success rates in the Premier League—a testament to his positioning and timing. His proficiency in winning ground duels complements this, highlighting his command in one-on-one situations. Yet, Evans isn't without limitations. His ball recovery and progressive capabilities pale in comparison to the league's top centre backs, reflecting a cautious approach in possession. He's far from an orchestrator from the back, as shown by his lower rankings in progressive carrying and passing. Interestingly, Evans does display a respectable knack for keeping the ball, indicating solid decision-making when under pressure, though his pass accuracy could benefit from refinement. Tactical discipline is another notable area; high fouls and yellow card tendencies suggest a sometimes over-zealous defensive style. Essentially, he's a bastion in aerial defence, but less so when initiating plays from the back, fitting for a veteran adapting his game towards a more direct, no-nonsense role as he approaches the latter stages of his career.
