2018/19 Seamus Coleman

[maccavennie]

That was Coleman back to his best yesterday, superb display defensively and always a threat going forward.

 

[Toffeelover]

Has to be the best buy ever.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Good game yesterday but on the whole we definitely should still be looking for a tune up in the summer.

I think a Digne on the right hand side woukd give us so much threat down the wings.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Seamus and Richarlison linked up beautifully a number of times yesterday in a way that Seamus and Walcott never did. Any early season criticism of Seamus has to be cognitive of that fact. He's was excellent for Ireland on Tuesday against Georgia also.

Doing a captain's job

That was Coleman back to his best yesterday, superb display defensively and always a threat going forward.

It was actually better than that because one of his crosses actually found it's manlol

Seriously though, it was good to see him back on top form on Saturday. There's been signs of gradual improvement in the weeks leading up to this game too. If he can continue this form until the end of the season then it could negate the need to fund a replacement in the summer. 2/3 months ago a new RB would have been high on an already extensive summer shopping list.

He has been here 10 years seems like only yesterday he went out on loan to Blackpool
Good to see he has got a bit of form back but sentiment aside the club need to be looking for a replacement to give him some competition which would be good for him and the club

 

[AndyC]

Seamus has indeed recaptured some of his swashbuckling form and it's good to see, and hopefully he can retain that form into next season.

As for replacing or signing another RB, with Kenny on the books and Holgate returning from West Brom, the need to go to the market place is reduced especially as we need to trim the already too large and expensive squad... and there are other areas that arguably need strengthening more urgently.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Really back to his best now, very comfortable in defence and linking up well again with Rico

 

[ToffeeTim]

Well played Seamus.

[Osamabindiesel]

Has looked much better with Richy ahead of him

 

[Zatara]

Still need better in the summer imo but he deserves to stay as rotation option.

Richarlison ahead of him has totally upped his game.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Fantastic second half. Part of the reason why Richarlison's performance picked up as well imo.

 

[Parker]

Fair play, I thought he was finished as a player. Nothing makes me happier to see him galloping down the right wing again like old times, a proper Everton man and player.
