2020/21 Seamus Coleman

[roy vernon]

Love Seamus, he’s been one of this club’s best bits of business in the last 20 years. Unfortunately, he is finished as a starter at this level. He is still useful around the squad and on the bench, but, his days as first choice must, sadly, be over.
Until we get a new first choice right back into the club, either Holgate or Godfrey must start at right back.

 

[GwladysBlue]

We always have issues with keeping players well past their sell-by date because they’ve done well in the past.

He needs to be moved on as a priority. He is a hindrance at this point.

It’s not good to see a good legacy being tarnished by staying too long.

 

[FinnTrikker]

We have a lamentable record of not doing the old Brian Clough/Peter Taylor thing: replacing players one day after their value begins to decline.

Coleman should have been shipped on in 2017. Evertonians are often decent people. They are loyal. But we are loyal to a fault. By being loyal, we simply get to watch our once-loved figures decline in front of our eyes to the point where they are unrecognisable to what they previously were. Then, it becomes toxic.

If we allow players to decline, we allow the team to decline. Seamus could have been kept around as a backup, but we never replaced him. And this in a time when we had money to spend. It's dreadful squad management.

Sums up why the only honour can compete for is the prestigious 7th Place Trophy....

I'll admit to thinking he could do a good enough job for the rest of the season in the hope we could replace him in the summer, but it's quite clear he's finished.

 

[FinnTrikker]

This thread is making me very angry. Never read such nonsense from certain people.

No Davies to Blame so we will go with Seamus. Holgate has been great no doubting that, how many times assists has he had?

Was Coleman at fault for goals recently?

Move on for a scapegoat

Did you see him give the ball away when Wilson hit the post.....

Did you see him give the ball away when Wilson hit the post.....

Is that all you have? Really he gave the ball away.... James lost possession more times than anyone yesterday, does that label him poor.

 

[Drumblue]

Sidibe could cross a ball but he went tactically astute. Have a great game then would stink the place out. Played with his heart more than his head in my opinion

Couldn't defend tho.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Sentiment gets you nowhere in football. Lad ain’t good enough for the PL anymore. I wish Kenny knew how to play football because we might have saved ourselves a good £30m gonna cost us as much to find a decent right back.

 

[messymascot]

We need 2 RBs in summer. One aged about 26-27 as first choice and a 2nd aged 21-22 as a back up who can push the first choice. We paid £60k for Coleman so I would be more than happy to let him leave for free in the summer once he is replaced.

 

[FinnTrikker]

Is that all you have? Really he gave the ball away.... James lost possession more times than anyone yesterday, does that label him poor.

You asked had he been responsible for any goals,well he would of been with wayward ball he played when under no pressure and but for the post he would of done....Comparing it to James losing the ball while under pressure or trying to be creative don't make sense.
I iove Seamus,he's a great pro and been a great signing but he should not be a starter,especially when a better option in Holgate is available....

 

[SteStocksDJ]

He’s been great. But he’s so so bad at crossing. No pace on the ball. It’s like none has ever told him

 

[Jamesblue90]

Shouldn't start against any team higher than 18th.

 

[John from Bootle]

Bust a nut there to make a clever run that kept one of their defenders occupied in the build up to the winner.

 

[cooperman]

I thought he was excellent today. Never gave up

 

[f.t.r.s]

Gave us that little bit of extra belief and led by example...
Looks ten years younger without the armband
