I really, really hope nobody here turns on him and moans about how bad he apparently was, like what happened with Distin

Everybody gets old eventually. Jags was absolute class.

I wouldn't worry too much. Howard was getting abused not just online but at Goodison as well and he got an excellent send off from the fans in his last match. A lot of the disdain for some of our longest serving players is attention seeking by a certain section of our support, and all fanbases have them.

Jagielka along with Howard, Hibbert, Distin, Neville and Osman did very well for Everton during their time at the club. Jagielka had one of the best season's of any Everton player in the last 20 years during the Cup Final season in 09 until he got injured. He was superb along with Lescott in that season and that pairing was in the top 3 in the Country at the time.

He has put in 100% in every game and always conducted himself brilliantly with the fans and over other things like the Hillsborough anniversaries and even with Bradley Lowery on Sunday. Seems a genuinely decent person off the pitch too and has been a fantastic servant to the club.

Having said all that, we are moving in to a new era and it is time for him to be a last resort squad player if he is prepared to be that, or time to move on.

I'll never forget the stirring HT speech he gave at Wembley -

"It's not you they're booing, Roscoe. It's him".

Hairs standing up at the back of me neck here.

And the post match interviews speaking to the floor with his chin on his chest.

What a leader. :coffee:

Martinez heard his players roundly jeered by thousands of Everton fans at they left the pitch after a dreadful first-half performance, but they were a team transformed after half-time and deserved to take this semi-final into extra time.

After the debacle of the 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, Everton at least regained some pride and credibility in a second half in which they turned the tide of this semi-final.

The bottom line, however, is that Everton once again conceded a last-minute goal - almost a trademark this season - and in a week that Martinez himself admitted was "defining", he has ended up a loser to both Liverpool and Manchester United.
 

Great servant.

Time for him to move on or accept a substitution role.

I don't want to see happen to him what happened to Howard (wore out his welcome with some poor performances)

What's this got to do with Jagielka?

Jagielka was a good, solid stopper. I actually think Moyes destroyed him by making him captain when he left. He never had the personality for it.
