Blue Roo
Player Valuation: £15m
Coleman's reformation - you can't but help love football.
While parts of his game are on the wane he's more then making up for it.
He's not going to out sprint, over distance, the young and speedy left sided opp players.
But he can, and is, still brilliant within the 15m radius - lower centre of gravity, great dribble and touch in tight spaces, guile, vision and experience to read the game.
And he knows when and where to shift across the backline, like the way he cleaned up after Doucoure v Zaha, in what was probably the telling moment of the match.
Of course this wouldn't be happening if he was still playing under Silva, a true club man would've had to be put out to pasture.
But with Carlo a different game is being played, coincidentally or on purpose it matters not, the game is now being played to his strengths.
He fits in well to the tempo that Rodriguez plays, they compliment each other and together they can control the pace and purpose of play down the right.
with Alan or Doucoure providing the ballast to this partnership.
No doubt Carlo has the knack, the vision to draw this out. But it also comes from Seamus own timing and instincts. Its such a pleasure to see him play with confidence and assuredness again.
In his element, he has made some spectacular dribbles over the last couple of games.
The assist against Palace - the timing, when to exert strength and drive, the balance, the sublime touches under pressure, the initiative, the instinct, the vision to take the exact and only moment to pass through the defenders - was sublime. If that had been Salah or Greenwood we wouldn't stop hearing about it.
What a man! What an Irishman! What a Blue!
Thanks Carlos, Thanks James, its good to have the real Seamus back again.
