Everton January 2022 Transfer Thread

You compared him to Hibbert, mate.

Hibbert got zero goals and ten assist in his entire Everton premiership career
Coleman got 26 goals and 32 assists

He was exceptional in his pomp, people just chose to forget that for some reason
Have to agree 100per cent, Coleman has been are best right back since Gary Stevens. He is now past his best but gives everything in every game, he has been advocating for his replacement for years. He deserves alot more praise than he gets on here.
 
Yeah. Wasted that was too. They aren't going to stop Liverpool winning the title. I apologise for that. Donating 6 points to City to avoid that nightmare though should be supported by every Evertonian. Strange to me if they didn't feel that way.
We needed points and Chelsea are extremely unlikely to challenge City. We need to worry about our own performance.
 

I’m not blinkered because he cost 60k. His price is irrelevant. He’s always been technically average.

So overrated by our fans it’s ridiculous

Bang on. Two of the best balls he ever put in for us where in one of his first showings when he came on against Spurs. His delivery hasn’t got much better.

In his prime he had ridiculous acceleration which took people by surprise. He’d look second favourite for a ball which meant defenders committed against him and then all of a sudden he’d be past them. You’re right though, he’d then just smash it as hard as possible, or float it over the area.

Now that his pace has gone his lack of technique is being shown up all the time and he’s no longer PL standard.

It's a shocking lack of respect.

I tell you this, he'll still be playing in the first team for another season or so.
 
It means he's made a mistake and I'll call him out on it ewhen proven to be so.

You see, that's what logical people do...unlike you who seem to take up a position and never let the facts change it.

My support is conditional; your opposition is unconditional.
You are totally wrong in your statement Dave, I have already said that I think Benitez signing Patterson would give a glimmer of hope that there was a chance for him to turn things round.

I am appalled by Benitez tactics and his results, but, unlike you, I will adapt my position when the facts demand it. You however make ridiculous attempts to defend him no matter what.

In fairness though Hibbert forgot more about defending than Coleman has ever known. The thought of Coleman at centreback would be horrifying but Hibbert did it easily at times.

They’re just completely different players. If Hibbert had been a foot taller he’d have been a centreback, and if Coleman could have crossed a ball he’d probably have been a winger.

Mate, he got 26 goals and 32 assists by being a good RB, had we not kept playing him beyond his time,his game per goal assist ratio figures would be very good.

It sounds like you are saying he was good at what he did buy trying to find a way of saying he wasn't

weird

But neither were, Coleman was by far the most succecsful RB though. PFA RB of the year, I doubt Hibbert got in the top ten

Hibbert could be that defender because he completely avoided leaving his own half.

Hundreds of people on this forum in their late teens and twenties could defend if they had the luxury of staying in their own half. But the game requires a FB to get up and down the pitch. When that happens, something gives; you have to show you have better than average attacking ability and are able to at least on most occassions be able to get behind the ball and offer yourself as a nuisance value. That's what Coleman did and what I;m telling anyone who'll listen Patterson will struggle badly to do. Patterson is a way better crosser of the ball than Coleman, and that would be his only advantage.

I don’t think the guy is saying he was bad, of course he wasn’t, but he’s never been good technically. If he wasn’t fast he’d have never have left Ireland.
