Well the blue tinted glasses is the absolute downfall of this club and fanbase in general. He’s been a great player but everything is pointing to him being one of the weak links in this current side.
I’m not saying he’s finished by any stretch but if we can get better than him then we should and I’m sure the club is looking for a long term replacement.
If Coleman is able to rekindle some of the form for which he is so loved by us as fans, then I'd be more than happy for him to retain his position in the starting XI.
Yet, I do feel that he needs competition and if that means bringing a player in then surely it would be better to look for an improvement, rather than a subordinate.
Honestlly, I do feel (like I mentioned earlier) that he's on a steady decline; people may talk of his horrific injuries etc. but they seem to have taken their toll.
Like I said before, I think that we should use the examples of Baines, arguably one of the best left-backs in Europe during his prime, and Jagielka as examples.
Imagine having a player of similar quality on the right as we now on the left with Digne, with the reliable Baines and Coleman offering competition on the bench.
That's the strength in depth that we need rather than relying on the likes of Kenny and Martina like we were last year - central defence is another great example.
Then, we can look at phasing out Baines within the near future for a better subordinate, while giving Coleman a few more years before we also look there.
