i understand jags isn't doing too well in this new system but people saying he needs replacing and others (on other sites) saying get rid is unfair, he is still adjusting and i'm sure he will come good but people have to ask themselves do you want a centre back who cannot pass but is as good as they come defensively or a great passer who has no idea how to defend (luiz, agger and vermaelen etc.), for me let the midfielders do the passing and let the ce tre backs do the defending rather than getting rid if they are not perfect, I am not saying great passers cannot defend as mats hummels is the best at this but we do not have the funds to buy someone who is great at both so for now please let jags adjust for a while then judge, he is a world class defender just not a world class footballer, he is everton through and through so please give him time

I didn't think anyone was questioning him. He had a bad game last week against Newcastle, but was superb in almost every other game.

after the norwich game people were saying he forgot how to defend even though he was jumping backwards so he couldn't elevate as high as he would of liked and against city people saying negredo and aguero tortured him even though coleman was the one caught napping for negredos goal, he very rarely gets ripped apart and is in my opinion in the top 20 centre backs in the world in terms of out and out defending maybe top 15
