Some think the 36-year-old, who joined the Premier League club all the way back in 2007 under David Moyes’ watch, is “finished”.
Everton fans had an afternoon to forget as the club that had won three Premier League games in a row, including against Arsenal and Chelsea, was defeated by already-relegated Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The Toffees, who started with the same XI that overcame Arsenal, ended up missing the chance to go seventh in the table in the wake of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ defeat at Southampton as Tom Cairney and Ryan Babel struck for the Cottagers.
Marco Silva’s charges put in a truly lacklustre display as Fulham, who had picked up 17 points all season ahead of Saturday’s game, got the best of their opponents despite boasting 40 percent possession (Sky Sports).
Everton veteran Phil Jagielka, in particular, was poor on the afternoon, with Aleksandar Mitrovic having a fairly easy shift against the 36-year-old defender, and a number of fans made their feelings heard about Silva’s decision to start him.
Here is some of the Toffee Twitter reaction at full time about the player, who joined all the way back in 2007 on David Moyes’s watch:
Everton return to Premier League action next Sunday by welcoming Manchester United to Goodison Park.
