2020/21 Seamus Coleman

Champions league clubs can deal with a 3-game suspension. It's not Richarlison's fault we've looked absolutely terrible in the last 3 games and I reckon his suspension is punishment enough, as the timing of the international break and his return from suspension his essentially coincidental anyway.
Whether we deal with it or not, the point stands: nobody wants their players getting stupidly suspended like Richarlison and Digne were. CL clubs look at players' mentalities as much as their technical abilities. It's why many talented players don't quite cut it at the very top level. I agree with you in that we are not remotely set up to cope with a few unavailable players. But our missing players do have a part to play in terms of culpability: they should have been available! That they weren't wasn't down to referees or the club: it was down to their own lack of intelligence and discipline.

Anyway, none of this is news to us: we are not set up to challenge the top four. The squad is far too thin. A few wins against the likes of Fulham and whoever else won't suddenly catapult us "back" into that race. We were never in it because we have zero depth.
 
Seamus will never walk away from the international team and I would not ask him to do so, but I do think he needs to manage himself a bit better or both club and international career will finish quicker than he would like.
The game against was one that he should never even have considered playing. This week should have been spent recovering from last week and making certain he will be ready for the next competitive game.. club or international.

He is 32 now with a history of injuries and simply cannot continue to play as much as he did five or six years ago.
 

You have been having a pop at Seamus all night!!!

I've said he's out of order and got it massively wrong for rushing back to the Ireland squad for a friendly game when he's just got back from injury, Never mentioned hate at all, an outrageous claim from you with no evidence to back it up.
If this was for Euro or World Cup qualification go absolutely crazy because you don't get many chances with them.
 
Injured again on International duty.

When will we stop tolerating this?
He’s the new James McCarthy. Never fit for the club but always somehow makes international games and then gets injured during them.

He needs to make a choice, it’s either Everton or Ireland. Either way, we need to buy a rightback now because the ones we have are either not good enough or are not reliable.

He is not out of order, he want's to play for his country & that is probably the more important element of his career to him & I suspect when he is asked about the highlights he will talk about big international nights first.

I don't judge him for that, one is his employer the other representing his country.

Where the problem lies is the fixture list, that's bang out of order. There is no logical reason for yesterdays friendly going ahead, & for me, for now there should be a straight rule for sport. If you need to get on a plane for it, it shouldnt be happening at club or national level

The problem with this incident is that he's rushed himself back for a friendly against England and nations league matches, He's just came back from injury and is no spring chicken anymore, I think he could have used his experienced and took a step back just for this time but it's happened now and not much we can do and hope the injury isn't serious because this lapse in judgement could cost us with Kenny or Godfrey being used at RB again.

No doubting his experience, but I would imagine this morning, while he regrets the injury, he has no regrets about doing everything he can to play for his country, especially against England. That's the make up of the man and I dont think he would apologise for it

I don't agree with it but there is levels of patriotism isn't there, Just for an example I'm remember Andy Robertson purposefully getting a yellow card to miss a match so he could get rest for Liverpool, I think little differences like this matter big time.
I don't hate him but I think for someone of his experience it's a massive misjudgment.
