2019/20 Seamus Coleman

[ToffeeTim]

Really really poor today. Some absolutely dreadful balls forward and that was when he actually did pass forward.

We can't afford to be starting next year with him first choice right back.

Start him twice a season when Mane needs pocketing, then back to the bench

I’m sure there is a very valid reason that @PhoenixIreland will be happy to share.

Nothing like that guys sorry. Just not good enough. We need to move forward.

 

[GwladysBlue]

I don’t think this gets said enough: we cannot go into the new season with Coleman as our starting RB. He is so far gone that it is sad watching him try to play now.

He’s turning 32 and of course a replacement must be looked for but he is still comfortably out performing midfield.

 

[Mark barnett]

decent defensively but so disappointing going forward has lost the ability to go past the opposition full back which he used to be so good at

 

[Houghty19]

I love him but he's come to the end of his top level career. He still defends as well as anything we've got at the back but he offers nothing more (some would say thats enough but not for me in the modern game). His crossing of the ball is woeful but the one thing he does have is passion for the club, wants to do well and never goes missing unlike a number of others in the team.

 

[mikel_88]

Has a role to play but we do need an upgrade need a player who can bomb forward and put decent crosses into the box

How? They both give the ball away just as much.
That 2 minute spell where him and iwobi got in down the right, in plenty of space. And they both couldn’t pick out a blue shirt. Sums up Coleman’s career

Because he is at least a competent player in his position who is busting a gut for the jersey. Midfield is a horrible mishmash of like for like, not good enough and not trying hard enough individuals.

Im not arguing that Seamus is the same player he was 5 years ago, how could he be due to both age and injury? I am arguing though that there are bigger issues than him.

As it stands I would expect him to start next season as a capable back up to a new RB but to still be competing for the spot.

Coleman is an ideal back up RB. Loyal, would wait his turn and can still do a job against weaker teams.

Other way around for me. He's still defensively really sound and i'd have him in there for the big games. It's the weaker teams where we need to show more attacking intent and better quality with the ball that we'd ideally have someone else come in for him.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Needed replacing for some time IMO but it's becoming painful watching him.

Utter dog muck.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Another one who needs to retire. Take a note from Baines.

Done well for our goal but pretty useless apart from that
