Coleman

[Stend]

His anal canal got a good seeing to from Maloney and Beasajour today. First 45 he was done almost everytime.

 

[banno]

Lots to learn yet about defending

 

[orchard]

To be fair, the lad didn't have a clue what was expected from him positionally and Pip kept on moving out as if he was playing wing-back on the offensive leaving big gaps to cover. It was a mess, and the team weren't prepared (ffs)

 

[Stend]

Coleman was pants today. There's no involment from anyone else. Two relatively average players goosed him time and time agen.

 

[toffeejack]

he needed help from pienaar today, was constantly 2 on 1, but yeah had a very poor game - reminded me of angel di maria. should have scored with a header. still our best RB option by far, just a bad day at the office for all

 

[Duncan Disordely]

He had absolutely no protection all game! Neville offered none from right centre midfield, and Pienaar and Mirallas spent 3/4 of the game on Baines flank together

It was two on one most of the time and after moyes's subs we didn't even have a right winger. He was totally isolated.

It was the first 45 before any subs when he was constantly drawn inside and left a beusajour alone and we went under the cosh

Spot on. Gibson being left out and switching Mirallas over on the left straight from the off was too stupid to believe.

 

[electricblue]

Wigan did a good job on him to be fair. It was a tactical masterclass from Martinez to stop our threats from wide areas and Moyes had little response to it.

 

[Brennan]

Wait a minute.

Are people seriously suggesting Coleman was at fault for being left to deal with two attacking players ? Surely the two more important issues are:

- Pienaar is not strong defensively
- Neville was far too slow and reactive to actually help Coleman

You could have a world class fullback and it wouldn't have mattered, one player can't deal with two on his own. Simple maths.

He did, but it wasn't exactly a surprise sprung from the blue. Beaujelour pushing on and getting in that triangle between Coleman, RCM and the RM and pushing on from there caused us all sorts of problems in the first game we had with them this season. We needed a solid unit on our right to combat it. Moyes didn't learn and Moloney looked like Messi out there because of the havoc caused.

Get a grip Brennan. Baines does perfectly well behind Pienaar every single game. Coleman had a stinker. He's been fantastic all season but today he got owned.

 

[Elong]

1 player out of 11 who had a crap game.

I like how you just ignored the part where i mentioned Neville.

Coleman was fine defensively against Reading, then the team was changed around and he had a bit of a mare against Wigan. Total coincidence though, apparently.
