Everton boss Roberto Martinez says skipper Phil Jagielka was unlucky to miss out on the PFA Team of the Year.

The annual PFA awards were announced that evening, with the Team of the Year featuring Chelsea's John Terry and Gary Cahill in the centre-back positions.

Martinez told evertontv: "When you are looking at the awards at the end of season I think people get affected by winning teams and teams that have caught you eye by the results more than anything.

"Any football person that has gone into detail and seen what Phil Jagielka has done this season, undoubtedly he should have been in the PFA Team of the Year. He's not just a defender defending; he's a defender who has been a leader of men and been a captain through difficult periods.

"He's been able to affect the team in order to get the results when they are most needed and then performed individually with an incredible intensity defensively but then stretched and been very influential in everything that we've wanted to do.

"Our defenders take responsibility in getting on the ball and starting the play and I think Phil Jagielka, for me, has been one of the best centre halves in the league this season and it's probably a shame as a team we haven't been winning enough games in order to attract that attention.

"For every Evertonian and internally at the club we know he's had a season to remember."
