2021/22 Seamus Coleman

His shot today summed it up; desperate to make an impact but desperately inadequate now unfortunately

It was truly pathetic. The whole free kick routine was brainless. Defenders up, great position for a free kick, so they play two short passes on the edge of the area instead to the full back who never scores goals. 17 days preparation for that.

Honestly he's an awful captain,.

 

[Nymzee]

Didn’t realise he’d said this. What a load of crock. Just retire already if you’re this supposed leader.

Coleman happy to take criticism to spare new players​

Everton captain Seamus Coleman is happy to bear the brunt of criticism if it means younger or newer members of the squad can escape it.
The 33-year-old will enter his 14th year at the club on Saturday and is 37 matches short of the 400 mark but his performances, like that of the team, have been the subject of some fans' anger.
With the club failing to address the need for cover at right-back - although they remain interested in Rangers' Nathan Patterson - Coleman has been pressed into action when not fully fit or in need of a rest and that has affected his effectiveness.
"There were a few occasions in the past when my form was under scrutiny," said Coleman in an interview with Everton's matchday programme for this weekend's scheduled visit of Brighton.
"I am captain of the club and a familiar face. I would rather it be me than someone coming through, or a player who has just signed for the club.
"I can take it on the chin and understand you have to accept the good and bad together.
"You can't just read about the good times. You have to take the stick when it comes.
"When you go to the training ground, you do your work and put in your effort. The noise outside of that, in the best possible way, doesn't affect me.
"I know what I am doing to try to have a positive impact on the team every day.
"I might not be the playing presence I was at 23 or 24, but as a captain and in training every day, I am giving my all, approaching it as if I was a 22-year-old."

Starting to make lots of big mistakes during games. His sliced shot over the bar yesterday was embarrassing.

It's not his fault and I don't necessarily blame him for it but we need not just a replacement but a quality replacement.

Thats why Patterson is about to join.

The worst part about that was if that was practiced in training then put someone in the position Coleman was who can actually strike a ball ffs.. The whole team and management are brain dead.

 

[Blue 1]

Hate to see it but he really is done.

Everton must axe Seamus Coleman | Soccers

"According to SofaScore, Seamus Coleman lost possession 19 times in defence, and was dribbled past three times against Brighton, with a shot attempted that was sent wide."

Lost possession 19 times!

That is truly shocking. That's 19 times the other team gets to build an attack towards our goal and stops an attack on themselves. This guy should never been seen on a Premier League pitch again.

He should have the guts to follow baines and retire.

He needs to be stripped of the captaincy for diabolical performance

 

[The binman chronicles]

A sad demise to a once great player, tbh he was never the same after the leg break. However it's not his fault that a host of managers have continued to play him instead of prioritising it as a position where we needed improving. He has still been a loyal servant to the club which in this day and age is something. I hope he understands why he's being taken out of the first team and still has the desire to come on as a replacement if required full of added energy from not being captain and playing every game.

What you say is true but he should have held his hand up said enoughj.

Not many people do that in real life and tbh sports people are conditioned to see bad patches as blips and that the next game is going to be great. It is fair to say that although the steady decline was there for all to see, it's dropped off the cliff only recently. Managers are paid to be the ones to tell you that you're done at this level, it looks like Benitez will do that.
