Amazing the stick he gets.

He's been our most consistent CB since signing for us 5 and a half years ago. Has a bad half season -- like almost everyone in the team -- and he is mercilessly hung out to dry.

Meanwhile others get away with it. As I've mentioned before, he's statistically been better than Jags this season. The man captaining the most spineless Everton team I've seen in yonks. And yet, even on a day where he didn't play, he's getting stick.

To be fair him and jags have been diabolical this season, cant argue it.

To be honest, Jagielka should be getting more stick than Distin as he's supposed to be our captain and had been pathetic all season long too.

He never even played today, and yet people want to stick the knife in. Amazing.

I already knew people were biased in their hatred of him, but that really sums it up.

Him and Jags have both been pants this season, but despite not even playing today and Jagielka being CAPTAIN, he gets more stick. I give up.

Yeah it is mate, I don't think he'll be getting a renewed one either.

I wish I thought this.

*looks at Hibbert and Osman.

always been a bit of a ropey footballer, but had superb physical attributes, those are waning now, and isn't a good enough player to get by on experience without them.

This unfortunately.

Still can't figure out if he played well today because he made some great last ditch challenges or was awful because he left himself needing to.

He was terrible today.

Got caught out time and time again. He's lost it, sorry Pal.

If theres a replacement lined up in january, would honestly just tear his contract up and tell him to jog on

Moomin · January 1, 2015

Hahahaha he was not even on the pitch today and people have decided he is still to blame and he is a " bad apple " in the dressing room.

Yes, the scapegoat lives on.
