Seamus Coleman isn't up to it.

I've had a few here so excuse me if this is completely wrong but today's performance against Arsenal has just confirmed it for me:

Seamus Coleman is sh*te. Why do people seem to like him and think he's 'the future' or whatever? Maybe one day he's going to be an decent right back one day, but at the moment he just runs into blind alleys and loses the ball. He's like a f**king headless chicken. Plus his crossing and his shots are abysmal. I'd rather have Barkley and possibly even Gueye there instead.

Yes, he puts great effort in, is physical and always has a go without fear, but that just isn't good enough for me. Of course we'd have better players there in future if we had money. But I think we've got better at the moment.

Views lids?


Edit: I've got to say like, he is great for the money we payed. I just don't get why people are saying he's going to be a great first team regular in years to come.

That's my excuse.

I do.

Still looked shaky defensively this season but was unbelievable today and is improving at a ridiculous rate.

good on ya ;)

agree that Coleman has looked a bit shaky defensively at times, but

[hibberts defensive qualites + offensive qualites] < [Colemans defensive qualities + offensive qualities]

Dunno, he could be a decent right back if he learns to defend.

I'd play him there against Tamworth and again if we get lower league opposition in the 4th round (provided we get through) to see what he's like and get him at right back a bit more.

In my defence....





PS he still can't cross.

Probably badly, to be fair. This time last year he looked to be going nowhere and his lack of time playing the game coupled with limited technical ability showed. He has progressed massively this year and I'm glad to be proved wrong as he has a top class attitude.
 
He was absolutely fantastic today. So encouraged by how far he has progressed. We could have a genuinely good right back on our hands in him.

best game for him today, needs some work on his crosses though.

Agree Joe. He sort of lofts them in at the moment rather than drilling the ball with pace. I think he's scared of hitting the first defender hitting it flat.
