2 issues for Seamus I think. 1 he's lost that yard of pace, 2 he has a wide forward rather than a winger in front of him. If we want to play a wide forward we need a quicker full back. If we want to keep Seamus we need a right winger.
Personally I would keep him but try and upgrade. I don't think right back is top priority, but if one becomes available and we can't get a striker, there's worse ways to spend our money.

Things i've noticed with seamus this season,
1. always looks to be receiving the ball behind him, means he can't drive on like he used to
2. first touch always seems to be backwards
3. cuts inside way too often, generally results in a short pass backwards
4. the player that used to drive at opposition fullbacks isn't there, can't remember him trying to beat a man that often this season
5. seems to be a yard slower
6.. all of the above highlights his weakness in crossing the ball, and his cutbacks have been terrible and weak
really hope he comes through this and gets back to his best, otherwise he'll need repalcing asap

I wont have a bad word said about Seamus.
- You all realise how bad a leg break he had right?
- And still only about a dozen games into his comeback
- Also playing with with new "wing-partner"
I'll give him a whole season of slack for the service and attitude he has given this club - when 90% of similar players of his standard over the last few years would have dropped us like a hot potato for any Sky6 team (I don't doubt there was interest from most of them over the years!)

You're forgetting issue #3 - he can't cross for his life.

That's not a new thing though
Fair enough. But it is something that you'd expect a pro at the top of the game for about 10 years to improve on...That's not a new thing though

If you can't cross, you can't cross. It's another mark against him though, although when we had Baines we just got him to do all the crossing!!

I would rather him shoot than cross tbh. He is more effective when challenging a defender.
Or take a throw in lol how he gets away with so many foul throws is a joke!

He's played a good few games recently, hasn't been useless but obviously not the Seamus of old, that is to be expected after coming back from a terrible injury, so I think a rest won't do him any harm and there are quite a few games coming up over Christmas so let Seamus and Jonjoe Kenny have a swop for a couple of games, I think it would help both of them.

I watched the whole match back yesterday and own goal which could not be helped aside, he was good all game except for the last couple of minutes where he made 2 errors, I think people are focusing on those few minutes as they were at the end and so fresh in their minds and not the whole game
.I also don't think teams are targeting him , it is just that their wingers and full backs obviously end up competing with him.
Baines' left foot
Player Valuation: £90m
He’s been berating Walcott (29), Sigurdsson (29) and Coleman (30) all season. I wonder why.
He literally thinks every young player should go straight into the team regardless of their obvious limitations. And the fact that almost 95% of the lads he raves about end up stinking the place out with the likes of Oxford doesn't seem to diminish his appetite for youth. Mad stuff

Browning and Garbutt have never had a proper crack of the whip.
