2017/18 Phil Jagielka

[Groucho]

I bet if Jags did a Gary Speed, you'd all be happy.

Disgraceful and not on at all.

Consider yourself lucky @roydo got to you first.

Next time you’re permanently banned mate.

He has no confidence in himself shoulders slumped quiet as a church mouse I know it's been said before but how on earth is he our captain and has been for so long

Capt Jags' seat at the top table in the pantheon of truly great leaders is assured.
What a captain!

Here’s the list of Club Captains at Everton since I started watching them

Brian Labone 1965 - 1970
Alan Ball 1970 - 1971
Howard Kendall 1972 - 1974
Roger Kenyon 1974 - 1976
Mick Lyons 1976 - 1982
Billy Wright 1982
Mark Higgins 1983 - 1984
Kevin Ratcliffe 1984 - 1991
Dave Watson 1992 - 1997
Gary Speed 1997 - 1998
Dave Watson 1998 - 2001
Kevin Campbell 2001 - 2002
Duncan Ferguson 2002 – 2004
Alan Stubbs 2004 - 2005
David Weir 2005 – 2006
Phil Neville 2007 - 2013
Phil Jagielka
2013 -

With the rose tinted glasses of history this looks an illustrious list bar a few odd ones. I would say Jags fits on the list. Of course this isnt the players who have captained the team on the field which this season alone is a frightening group.
I would suggest there is a wide gulf between crap and statue meriting and people need to think about players on that performance spectrum not just crap or great.

Had a good game , but sadly another one who needs to be moved along

 

[leslad]

Great performance today from jagielka imo, wins so many headers, tackles and interceptions still even at 36. All that money and he's still our best defender.

Oh dear, Feel a bit of a nob now, so you should. Put your brain into gear before you type.

 

[germanblue]

Boss, he still got it!

 

[brigadier]

jags class again.

 

[LowerGwladysLad]

best defender today. Agree he shouldn't be our captain but he's far from what's wrong about our defence

 

[evertony]

Yeah, but I can't edit it, so can the mods delete it, please?

Seriously though, a lot of the Jags hate on here is weird and personal. Same with a lot of players. It's making me wonder if this is the right place for me. I'm growing increasingly detached from Everton though.

Writing disgraceful comments like that I’d say it’s definitely not the place for you. Shameful.

Wow I know my memory is goosed nowadays but I didn’t remember Dave Watson playing for us after 98 . I can’t remember him playing under Walter smith .

Mods, can you delete it please? I'm logging out. I regret that post.

She’s made a mistake with the post lay off now lads .

Love jags, however the PL and modern footy has caught up on him.
He was an amazing defender not great at passing the ball out and he never claimed to be.
He was always missed when not there.
A true servant.
