2017/18 Seamus Coleman

[DualityNSNO]

One of the best full backs in the league. Gives us balance and is always a threat, even when having a poorer game.

Yeah that's simply not true.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Yeah that's simply not true.

Oh it is very true. I'd say there are only 3 or 4 better RBs in the league.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Yeah that's simply not true.

It really is.

He is one of the best full backs in the league and we are lucky to have him.

 

[mightymoyes]

Yeah that's simply not true.

of course its true, not many right backs in the premier league you'd have over him, if any.

0:15 - criminally bad underhit cross, but let's say it's pressure;
0:24 - fantastic goal, but are you even really claiming that's the position your body should be in when you're hitting the ball? Absolute miracle it went where it did;
0:40 - poor control, even poorer attempt at a shot, same situation re: body positioning;
0:53 - good TeKkErZ (LAD LAD LAD LAD), shockingly underhit pass;
Nothing to say about next situation, perseverance there, good on him.
1:10 - great assist, nothing bad to say;
1:25 - good run, good tackle to end it, but he was running in a dead end, randomly;
Next two are good;
1:55 - what a fantastically poor shot that was, a miracle it went in;
The next minute or so is just highlights of his face and random tricks in the middle of the pitch against Rooney, who seems not bothered to do anything about it;
3:05 - Great run, fantastic pace, actually forgot the ball near the end, but it's okay, as he managed to cross (decent block, happens);
3:14 - fantastic run, good, headstrong again... then the cross is LITERALLY booting the ball somewhere that isn't for a goal kick. ?????????????;
The rest of the video is pretty random, having 2 situations that managed to reach people (Lukaku one, the other I forgot), ending appropriately at his little keepy-up-run. Glorious that was.

This is a HIGHLIGHT video, of him doing amazing things. Remember when they had that highlight video of, let's say, Messi or CR7 when they miss things? Yeah, I don't.

To go with that - there was a situation late last season where he crossed with his left and everyone had already given up, because they know how much and how well he crosses with his left. To that you can add all the overhit crosses he produces/d per game.

Again, for all that, he's a good defender and is so headstrong and has fantastic pace, which are both points that can salvage his negatives. And when you cross 10 times per game you're bound to have a few dangerous ones, so I'm very okay with him.

But I am 100% wrong so whatever mate.

I'm not saying you don't have any points, but take into account that Seamus is busting his gut the entire game and it's much easier to appear a clutz when you're so heavily involved in every game. It's much easier for a lazy winger to be pinpoint accurate with every cross as he hasn't been unsettled whatsoever.

Point is he is one of the few full backs that excels on both sides of the ball. How a full back can manage to get into the attacking positions that he does and still get back in time to defend is beyond me. If I'm not mistaken, a couple of his goals came from being in the center... he has a better attacking instinct than some of our attackers!

I'd say the conclusion with Seamus is his greatness comes from determination. He is just skilled enough to be great, but his determination is what separates him from the other right backs in the league.

Also I think 3 at the back and wing backs will ONLY work when Coleman is back. Kenny could have been tried there, but it's too late now. Would rather save 3 + wing backs for later. Baines & Coleman together again

Name me a right back in the prem you would have in your team over Seamus. Walker. Valencia. Clyne. Bellerin?. Not for me. Im struggling tbh.

None.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think people take him for granted, and that is okay tbh. We see him every week and his flaws are on display. BUT HE IS DAMNED GOOD

Certainly worth the money

 

[duncs pigeon]

Not sure, but I think he has been named in 3 of the last 4 PFA teams of the year. That shows how good he is if your fellow professionals select you.

 

[Bluerover]

Bloody hell - talk about not being recognised by your own!!

Suffice to say that the vast majority of Evertonians understand what Seamus does for this club on and off the pitch - even when he is injured.

 

[Ollie d]

Seamus Coleman- he get us as much as any modern day player.

 

[GBH73]

Best RB we've had since Gary Stevens (unless you count that one season were Snodin played there and was immense).

Can't think of any other in the league that I'd swap him for.
