I have to agree that if Evans played for a mid table team he would not get any praise.
You could bung in alot of man u players in this bracket - smalling, jones, welbeck, carrick all spring to mind.
Westwood is a good player, not suited to being the anchor role though.
He works well in a midfield 3, however as a 2 he needs a bit more to his game pace/power etc
