Who can forget Evra's first Derby!
Good point on Evra. Vidic as well was truly woeful when he first came over here.
As others have said, it's not unusual for people to have a go on this forum before giving players a chance. Tevez in particular was deemed not good enough by many posters based on his first few weeks (Ireland should play instead etc etc); glad I said he was class and would come good, otherwise I'd feel a bit of a fool now.
I think Boateng will turn out to be a good defender for us. There are some aspects of his game that concern me I admit, but it's still early days in the grand scheme of things.
If he's still not playing great when he's been here as long as Jo, then we can justifiably give him some greif I think :)
