Seamus Coleman Calls Time On Everton Playing Career

[Sadken]

There is talk of a coaching role, what for? Ti teach full backs how not to mark your man? Jobs for the boys just like kenwrights days.

 

[davek]

Everton are a shambles and some people think it's a great to have a go at one of the few players that deserved to were the shirt in theist 30 years.

A shameful end to a shameful day.

For comparison, Baines was a local lad who was easily a much better player.

Retired, didn't want a fuss and realised he couldn't compete at the level required anymore.

Got himself into the coaching team from supporting the academy.

Coleman hasn't been able to play for a few seasons now. Has somehow got Moyes to believe he needs to come on today despite chasing a goal for Europe and then wanted a lap of honour after an embarrassing defeat.



Started the last game at Goodison (a year ago) and had to come off after half an hour.

Somehow able to play for Ireland this season showing he's not helping Everton.

Two possible reasons:

Is this Moyes rewarding his favourites with a coaching role etc because he likes having these types round him?

Is he a bit of a narcissist thinking he deserves all that today and last season despite adding nothing both seasons and being captain during our worst seasons?

Yes he is a blueand does stuff for charity and high fives the mascots but a legend who deserves this? Not for me.

He's not from Northern Ireland, he's from Donegal in the Republic.
If you want to slate him at least get your facts right.
Moyes bringing him on is on Moyes, not Coleman

Sorry mate. Edited my post. He sounds like he is, my mistake.

I take you agree with my other points though.

I hope Coleman pipebombs Moyes after this game like Salah

Inexcusable to lose this game at 1-0

Call the old man out and get him sacked Seamus

 

[NathDogg]

needs a testimonial, he can’t go out after that kin shitshow.

Deserved so much more than the manager and players gave him today.

Moyes - Get him out and warming up after 15 mins ffs, it’s not hard Davey, you have to manage the crowd in the stadium and the players you blert.

It would have gave us a lift when sunlun were on top.

Shocking from the manager today.

All the best sheamo, that was criminal today.

 

[EGWToffee]

It was a bit cringey the interview he done. As though he’d been a massive part of a winning side. He’s hardly kicked a ball in 5 years and his constant mentioning of the “tough times” throughout the interview shows what a laughing stock the club is.

 

[PhilM]

I could understand it if we were winning, but we're werent. We chose to ignore the scoreline in favour of giving Seamus a great send off and even that went badly.

Awful all round today. As we were the last time we played Sunderland at home.

This is my take on it, too. We were chasing a game with the aim of hopefully pushing us towards European place, yet the club chose sentiment.

If it was a tactical decision to replace O’Brien, it should have either been done earlier or potentially bring Patterson on.

As I’ve said multiple times, Coleman has been loyal to the club, but this has clouded judgements. Liked? Yes. A successful captain? Nah.

 

[MikeH72]

Keane just watched an underhit pass across the box. What was Coleman meant to do. In what world of defending do you leave a ball to let someone else deal with it?!

Hang on that’s exactly what Coleman did

 

[Nymzee]

Why couldn't he have started today?

 

[Bkk Andy]

He stayed way too long and it's tarnished the memories of many supporters. He should have left 3 or 4 seasons ago.

Nice1 for edit

I dont really agree with your other points tbh as I don't think he had much say in all that. Coming on, lap of honour etc. He's a humble guy but they do love him at the club and would want to do it for him. Presumably he wanted to say goodbye too.

Baines retired during Covid so there was no chance of a goodbye fuss, but people would've wanted it if fans were there.

Moyes bringing him on made no sense but he's the manager and everything he did today was rubbish, including that sub

 

[Jebus_lives]

Why couldn't he have started today?

I don't think he can physically do it anymore at PL level. It was being saved for the end of the game to give him a guard of honour.

Shame his last game he was hopeless. Top lad and wish him all the best
