Phil Jagielka

Was always gonna be a joke but I'm not bothered at all that him and Bainesy aren't going. They'll be fully fit and get an extended rest plus a full pre-season. Fine by me.

Two key players to be present when the new manager comes in as well.


Same here.

And I hope Mirallas isn't required for the Belgian squad either.
 
He and Baines are a victim of Martinez, everyone talks about our defense being a joke and that is why they aren't in, but it wasn't the fault of Baines or Jags - we had the best penalty taker & free kick expert in the premier league not taking the teams penalties and a central defender always exposed by crap tactics. This was the last chance for both and I really feel for them. That performance in the semi should have got Jags selected.

I think England could have an issue though, Jags rescued Cahill a number of times in 2014 - Stones is way off international standard at the mo - I can see him having a few issues unless Roy can teach him more in a few weeks than the last three years under RM.
 
I really don't get this sort of attitude. Well I do, you only want the best for Everton.

Bingo.

I have absolutely no interest in Kevin Mirallas beyond what he does for Everton.

If he never kicks another ball for Belgium it won't bother me.

But you can bet your life that Mirallas himself wants to play for Belgium this summer.

Like I care :)

And if he ain't with the Belgium squad it is one less Everton player we have to worry about running his mouth off to the press about how he longs to move to a "Champions League" club :dance:
 
Judging by reports in the papers of the various injuries/inability to train days the defenders are currently subject to, looks like Hodgson will be regretting not taking Phil Jagielka over to France. Still, to our gain I suppose.
 
seen rumours that Jags might not be captain. Don't know how much truth is in this but be surprised if true...
 
Nah

He's still one of the best in the league.
Just worry he's lost too much pace with the last few injuries, few times end of last season he let things bounce and didn't have the legs to recover and sweep it up. Guess We should all wait to see how the defence does under Ron first though before writing players off
 
Poor captain imo. As poor as neville was. I hope the next captain wont be any mr niceguy but someone who can inspire the rest and put a fight on the pitch

Really tough to see that rom having possibly the best defence in the league on paper, Coleman-Jags-Stones/Distin/Mori-Baines, they were all made into scapegoats for poor team defensive tactics. England could have, should have had 3 players in the starting XI. On that subject, Ossie has been such an amazing player, but just because either he's smaller than others, or not 'fashionable' or something, he was never encouraged and supported to play for England

The bit about ossie is a joke isn't it?
