He has been our best player for the last decade, cost us nothing, puts a shift in even when not performing, and is an all round top bloke.
Anyone slating him is an idiot and lacks respect!
Baines' left foot
Player Valuation: £90m
He needs to bin that off now. O’Neill is slowly destroying him with his archaic training methods and is partly responsible for his recent decline.

Likewise James McCarthy!
Great to have him back to be honest.

Nice to see Coleman resort to ancient acts of trophy taking there.
I don't think anyones mentioned it, but I thought that was his best game this season. Was solid enough defensively and was good on the ball. Looks like he has gone up a gear after his goal.
It won't get mentioned, because our fans have come down with a severe case of Zatitis and can't see past Coleman's age now

He improved the last two games. He now running past the players with the ball.
Hazard was fairly quiet until he was moved away from our right side, a compliment to Seamus from Sarri

It is no coincidence that with Sesmus as captain the whole team looked and played like a determined committed team. When we lost possession, even in their half, we were immediately pressing them - a welcome change from the usual retreat to the edge of our area.
Others have pointed out how effectively he led for the team in communication with the ref.
The press reporting today is contrasting the team attitude with those in the past, who would have rolled over yesterday.
This was a superb captain's performance - one of the best in many years.

Seamus Coleman: My whole career has been about proving points

No-one needs to be apprised of Seamus Coleman’s pride every time he captains his country but the skipper he says he’ll be only too happy to hand over the armband on Thursday when Glenn Whelan gets to lead the team out against Northern Ireland at the Aviva for what is likely to be the Dubliner’s final appearance in the green shirt.
“He is probably a player who doesn’t get a lot of credit for the type of role he does, a holding midfielder who broke play up,” says Coleman of someone who shipped more than his fair share of media criticism even as successive managers at club and international continued to show faith in him. “You don’t get as many caps as he has done without being a very good international footballer.
“It’s a funny game. We were all aware of the criticism that he would have been getting at the time but I think it says a lot about him that he came in for every international trip and he did his job, which was to keep the manager happy and to help the team. I don’t think the papers or opinions really interested him. That showed a great strength of his character. At the time football was changing a lot and we were playing two centre-midfielders and teams were playing three in the middle. It was tough for but it’s part and parcel of football, we all get criticism at times. But he was never bothered by it. He just kept the same standards no matter what.”
On a related theme, Coleman rejects the suggestion that the animated celebration of his recent goal for Everton against Brighton was a reaction to criticism he’d been receiving from the faithful at Goodison Park.
“A lot has been made of that celebration but I wasn’t getting stick at Goodison at all,” he maintains. “I came back from my foot injury and I probably wasn’t happy with how I played in a couple of games and you are aware that you are not playing well. You look back on most of my goal celebrations and they are quite aggressive, quite emotional. I have done a few where I have cupped my ears. It was a bit of everything - it was my first goal in a long time and I was a bit frustrated with how I’d played in the previous game against Manchester United. It was just a bit of emotion.”
But he doesn’t deny that he did feel he had a point to prove.
“I think my whole career has been about proving points,” he says. “As a footballer, your career isn’t just like that (indicates an upward graph)), it has its ups and downs, and that goal came at a good time for me. But my relationship with the fans is great. That night in January when I came back from my leg-break, the reception I got, it’s something that will stay with me for a long time. The majority of the fans have always been amazing, so there is no story there as such.”
In January, it will be ten years since Coleman joined Everton from Sligo Rovers - “a bit of a scary thought,” he says with a smile. That he arrived at Goodison for a song – £60,000 – is, appropriately enough, still celebrated in song at the ground.
“Ah yeah, it is something I’m proud of,” he says. “I know it was ten years ago but it’s a nice story for me to have come for that price and to have given the club quite a lot of appearances. It’s a song I like hearing when it’s being sung.”
Unusually in the modern era, the 30-year-old Coleman seems to regard himself as a one-club man and, despite reports in the past which variously linked him with moves to Manchester United and Bayern Munich, he insists that he was “never close” to leaving the Toffees.
“There was interest from numerous teams but I never looked for a way out,” he says. “That’s me sitting here telling you the truth. Whatever went on between clubs went on, but I’ve always been happy at Everton. You can look back and people can say you need to push on, you need to win things, you need to go to the top. But Everton brought me from Sligo, and they’ve been good to me.
“Loyalty is not really a thing any more as such, but for me I feel good there, I feel they have done a lot for me. I know football: maybe five or ten bad appearances, and fans, the media, they’ll be wanting other players in. But, for me, Everton is where I want to be. And, as I keep saying, to win one cup there would mean more to me than winning it somewhere else.”
