Phil Jagielka

I miss Jags rallying calls

Haha and getting in the refs face.

 

[CynicalBlue]

Jags for me is one player who always gives everything and personally is still an excellent Premier League defender.

 

[Eggs]

.....top pro, he's been unfortunate and hard done by to lose out previously on selection for major international tournaments and the indication is he might do so again for the Euro's. i hope for his sake that he goes.

 

[Bluechris31]

No Jags in the England squad today. A bit disappointing for him i would imagines..

 

[MACCA75]

If I had to rely on either Jags or Stones, I'd go for Jags tbh.

 

[streeky]

Funny how everyone who play's with jags becomes a better player, coincidence ?

 

[Bluechris31]

No Baines either, those boys won't be too happy..

 

[blue61]

I feel sorry for Jags on a personal level, but a few weeks rest will be a plus for us at the start of next season, same goes for Baines.

 

[Brendan Janus]

None of our defenders should be selected to be honest !!

Who's arsed if they're in the England squad, rather they rested up

Think it's crazy that Hodgson has picked Stones over Jagielka. Clearly the media campaign for Stones has worked and Jagielka isn't a fashionable choice. He's a far better defender at the stage though and anyone that watches Everton play often knows that.

The fact that he's picked Wiltshere and Henderson over others too speaks volumes. Pandering to the press, NEA.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I'm more than a little surprised he hasn't been picked tbh

He's currently at a better level than Stones

This. Crazy decision. I would not have put Roy Hodgson down as someone selecting based on reputation, but he clearly has. Jags was capt for a qualifying game as well... only San Marion, but still, he's taking a big risk choosing Stones as one of only 3 specialist centre-backs above Jags. Suppose it might be useful in adding a few extra £££ to Stones' value you!

 

[ijjysmith]

I'd have picked Jagielka too.

But it's not that mental a decision that he went for Stones instead really.
