Trying to make up for lost ground. He was at fault for the first goal.I saw a lot of comments about Stones being poor for their second goal because he threw himself after being sold a dummy by their striker yet i don't think i've seen any mention that Jagielka himself did exactly the same.
It was poor from Stones but you put it down to inexperience.
But what was Jags excuse?
This statement by him today in the Echo - I find it incredible from an Everton captain:
And on Stones’ future, Jagielka concluded: “I have not really got an opinion and if I have it is private. I am not going to discuss what I think John should or shouldn’t do in the paper. “At the end of the day it will be down to him and the club what goes on. I will speak to him and try and guide him the best I can, but that is something that is between the players and the backroom staff.”
He's the team captain FFS! How can he not simply answer the question on Stones by simply stating in public "my view is that John should stay with this football club and help us build toward the future".
I mean, how can an Everton captain not offer that advice and remain captain? I'm completely staggered by that. WTF type of people are pulling on that blue shirt these days?

Quite unbelievable that, there's more splinters in his arse than Chico's when it comes to an opinion.
Actually, if that's his official stance on keeping our best player, then I give up.
Crikey. That's awful.
Seems John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Gary Cahill are more vocal on Stones future than our own captain!
Unbelievable. Spineless comments.
I'd say it probably is PR tactic following RMs comments about not commenting or driving such things through the media.

Imagine the Kopites if Gerrard/Henderson came out with something as staggeringly insulting as that?
Jagielka is captain of this club by virtue of the fact he get given an armband every game. He has no right wearing it and he is and never will be an Everton captain.
Dave, it'd be spun as an England centre-half trying to hold back Stones for his own career, the same one who was apparently responsible for England getting knocked out of the World Cup. I agree, Jagielka should be saying that he wants Stones to say, but with a hostile press, I can see why he might not.I cant see how it would inflame the situation: 'Everton captain wants Everton player to stay'. Hardly anything noteworthy.
