Did Yobo undersell himself by staying at Everton too long?

Joseph Yobo’s time at Everton under David Moyes will fondly be remembered, yet there’s a feeling the player could’ve aimed higher during his peak.

The centre-back was part of the side that threatened to break the top four hegemony of Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal from the mid-2000s to the late 2000s, but ultimately fell short.

Still, Nigeria most capped player did feature considerably often in the 2004/05 Premier League campaign where the Toffees ended fourth, and above city rivals Liverpool for the first time since 86/87.
