2021/22 Seamus Coleman

[kiss the crest]

Seamus needs telling to knock off the international football at his age and with his injury record. We pay his wage. Some captain he is.

Totally agree, talking about flogging a dead horse

 

[Death]

How do Ireland not have a better right back than him at this point?

We are gick. Coleman is our best player be miles.

I'd play him up front.

 

[Nymzee]

He'll not miss our next game.

 

[davek]

Why not read everyone else's assessments of his performances.

his games for us at right back, he's been awful.

Think it was clearly underlined there that the presence of James in front of him and unwilling to work caused him all sorts of problems on that day....something he wont experience with Townsend there.

T minus 3 days until Coleman / Digne or both have season ending injuries

Hasn’t been a week since the farcical transfer window and Coleman is injured already.
Our weakest position which for 3 years hasn’t been addressed by Brands
How did this buffoon get a 3 year deal?
What an absolute cock up!!!

So predictable! ( Well … except by Brands ! )

 

[Bebeto]

Muscle complaint hopefully is just a precaution

Thats how it starts with Seamus...Next will be to start the next premier league game and having to be replaced after his first couple of sprints...then off until next international break just in time for ireland

 

[Jeff Jones]

True although we simply can't have Kenny as a serious option at RB this summer mate and Holgate doesn't get forward enough to be a serious option there.

Why this obsession with fullbacks going forward? It's come about in modern football but you don't have t do it all the time.
Townsend can take care of that and just think - we could put Richarlison out on the right and put James in the middle.

 

[Jeff Jones]

No. He was not.

He can get up and down that line all day and provide support for Townsend.

Why would Townsend need support from a fulback? Or anyone else for that matter.

 

[ProZ]

I'd put Godfrey in at RB.

Played there before and will do a great job.

Not sure about a great job I remember him getting ragged everywhere by Liverpool. Just stood there and let them get cross after cross in.

 

[Eggs]

No. He was not.

He can get up and down that line all day and provide support for Townsend.

….I agree, he’s not an awful RB. His weakness, though, is certainly his composure and quality in possession (aside from a terrific through ball for DCL at West Ham).

Godfrey is mostly about what he brings to the side in a defensive capacity. Whilst he’d be a capable back-up, we ultimately need a conventional RB capable of linking with his winger and providing threat in the top third.

How do Ireland not have a better right back than him at this point?

It's impossible because if a right back better than Coleman came along England would poach him... Rice.... Grealish...

 

[Hibbo]

It's impossible because if a right back better than Coleman came along England would poach him... Rice.... Grealish...

Was Grealish a right back?

 

[Jeff Jones]

It's impossible because if a right back better than Coleman came along England would poach him... Rice.... Grealish...

Poach? Neither Rice or Grealish are Irish.

 

[bluerobert]

Poach? Neither Rice or Grealish are Irish.

I think TippBlue is referring to the fact that Grealish could have elected to play for Ireland as at least his grandparents are Irish. I’m not sure about his own parents but he did used to play Gaelic football as a kid. I don’t think that qualifies him as being poached though. He might embrace his Irish heritage but at a professional level with the standard of footballer he is unless he was born there it would be a big shock if he would have elected to play for Ireland

England that currently have four right backs in their squad

Poach? Neither Rice or Grealish are Irish.

Yup, Rice was born in Kingston upon Thames and Grealish in Birmingham, Grealish’s great grandfather played for villa and was capped by England.
