Homepage Article Rafael Benitez Appointed Everton Manager

[street end]

Leadership doesn't come in one particular form, but Seamus isn't a leader. He's a great professional, not a leader.

If it comes in many forms (which I agree with) why is Seamus not a leader?

When has he done anything to rally, rouse, or drag Everton out of a mire? When has he influenced or guided his fellow Evertonians to be better?

To be fair I’ve seen him getting stuck in to players verbally many time even when he wasn’t captain, he put lukaku in his place many a time when he wasn’t moving. He’s a right back so his opportunity to drag us out the mire as you put it is reasonably limited in terms of scoring, for me he gives 100%, in recalling the Leicester game when he can back from injury, 93rd minute still legging it down the pitch soaked wet through.

He isn't a fist pumper and he doesn't get in people's faces; but he does take a lead on the pitch making sure refs answer questions about decisions. He also sets a good tone for the club in that he's fairly articulate and comes across in a dignified way with the media.

I have no problem with Coleman being club captain but I want someone else at RB.

Don't you watch on the official site mate?? After every match he does a rally cry..... Every sodding match

Have a look at this and from aprox 1:55, was against Leicester last minute of the game, his first game back, leading by example.

I think he tries his best but his problem is he isn't intimidating enough to be a true leader on the pitch.

You look over the years at leaders and you wouldn't want to mess with a Bonucci, Keane, Big Dunc physical type on the pitch - Seamus is just a mouthy little Irishman bless him lol

Big Dunc was never a leader, just volatile.

Genuinely never, ever, ever seen this.

I think he was a mixed bag having him on the pitch up for it would rub off on the other players imo.

I would say Cahill was similiar in that respect although more disciplined.

Coleman for me is more like Jags in a model professional but not someone who has his team mates up for the big occasion / afraid to not put a shift in.

To all the lads who don't think he deserves the blame for relegating Newcastle because it was halfway through the season do you still think he should get credit for winning the Europa league with Chelsea?

If you can't blame him for one you can't give him credit for the other without being a massive goalpost-moving hypocrite.

Of course he does. Does it all the time.

We all hate to see Rooney/Horrendouson/Gerrard screaming in the refs face, however, it gets results.
