Chris_Martin Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 What a performance. Didn't put a foot wrong all game. Calm on the ball, great positioning, great leadership, won every tackle, won every header, even when they outpaced him he just put his body in the way?. Age is just a number!

Ambitious Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Jagielka looked a class above in the preseason games and showed it again today. He’s getting on a bit, but he still looks very comfortable at this level. We have to be careful with him, but he still looks agile enough and doesn’t look at all slow. I think he can be an inspired signing, providing we don’t lose him in January.

With improved sports science and recovery programmes, if a player is a really good athlete, 39 shouldn’t be a handicap in age terms. He has the CV to be a star performer in the Championship for a season. LeedsRam1999, Derby blood, LeedsCityRam and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yani P Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Loved the way he did a Titanic style turn late on but just shielded with his body and they didn't get a free kick Chris_Martin and Hector was the best 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivo_knoflicek Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Same age as Jimmy Anderson. Both still got a bit more in the tank I reckon. LeedsRam1999, derbydaz22, whiteroseram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 To say we ended the game with three centre backs with a combined age of 109, I’d say we did alright. Ellafella, Chris_Martin, Derby blood and 9 others 1 1 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Great addition to the sqaud. Bringing experience, quality and composure. Thankfully we have a options at centre back now so Curtis and Jags won't have to play every game neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Got a few Blades mates who are really pleased we’ve got Jags and are keeping an eye on our results because of him. Same about Ravel Morrison. Seen online everton fans are doing the same. Not saying it’s a greatest pool of data, but it brings up two things 1) it shows the type of character that Rooney has looked up bring in 2) it maybe starts to change the thought that ‘all of football hates us’. I know some fans enjoy the siege mentality but I do think it’s a more healthy outlook not to think everyone hates you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
