Koeman should drop these 3 Everton players against Manchester United

Phil Jagielka

Koeman would have been hoping that his experienced centre-back Phil Jagielka would lead by example and help the younger players out in Saturday’s Merseyside derby.

But the England international did anything but.

The 34-year-old didn’t look overly assured and composed at the back, with Everton easy to beat in the end as all three goals were arguably avoidable, regardless of how good Liverpool’s approach play was.

You sense that Jagielka’s Everton career is coming to an end, and it’d be a surprise if he were to retain his place against United on Tuesday.
