Phil Jagielka

[MACCA75]

One of the most underrated players in the Prem tbh.

He seems a better partner for Funes Mori than Stones. That may just be his seniority and experience, but we seemed much more coherent at the back.

Welcome back captain. Defence organised and blocks and interceptions all around the box=Jags.

 

[Woolly Blue]

El Captainio doing his job stopping and I quote "A team worth 2 billion" from scoring.

He says Your Welcome.

Jags was boss tonight. He almost always is. Some people, well @davek, don't recognise his qualities, but I hope we get another season or two out of him.

Qualities as a captain, no. Still dont see them. A very good stopper though. I've never disputed that.

Wonder if he's still leading that revolt with dunc

 

[strummer]

We take him for granted and miss him so much when he's injured. Great to see him back and in form so quickly

 

[tonka1878]

He's Boss. Not really much more needs saying.

 

[MartSlinger]

Swear i say it on every other page but he's criminally underrated by both Everton fans and 'neutrals'. He's superior to the majority, if not ALL the English CB's around right now and has been for a while.

I love him and think he doesn´t care about the underratings. He´s down to earth and all thats matter for him is to do his job and defend for Everton FC . He would put every part of his body in to stop the opponent from scoring just for the team.

Unsung hero, my hero!

 

[MartSlinger]

Turning down Arsenal twice, scoring the pen that got us to our first cup final since '95, putting in top performances year upon year. The mans an absolute hero.

 

[toffeeblue9]

Games like last night, where we have to defend our 18 yard box are the kind of games Jags excels in, Funes Mori too for that matter.

 

[blueblue]

The commentators talk about Stones, but the real story is Jagielka.
There was no way we were getting a point from last nights game without him.

If he had not been injured I think we would be very close to a top four position by now,we are not that far from it as it is.

A 'blessing in disguise' you said about his injury. Lolz.

 

[thirdmantackle]

If in doubt, boot it out. I like this approach
