2021/22 Seamus Coleman

Encoder · October 24, 2021

I don't care how much he bleeds Blue or loves the club or whatever, I just want him to learn how to get his head up and put in a half decent cross for once in his life.

Been part of too many abject losses now. He's captain of a hugely underperforming set of players. Maybe its time to hand over the armband.

Its not his fault but nothing has changed in years. His body doesn't allow him to lead by example any more either.

He always relied on his pace.
Losing half a yard is massive.

Same happened to Distin and their game goes downhill rapidly.

Kever10 · October 24, 2021

A small thing, but he's been at the club how many years now, and he still doesn't know when to lead the team out. 2 games in a row now, he's been out on the pitch before the main Z cars drums kick in.

It's the little things as well as the big things.

We cant keep living on sentiment. He is finished, its sadly that simple. A great signing, but so was Reidy and when this was a properly run club, he had to go.

MACCA75 · October 24, 2021

Would be nice if just once in his career he could find a blue shirt when he gets into the box and cuts the ball back.

ToffeeTim · October 24, 2021

He's been captain in too many humiliating losses. He needs to step aside as captain.

Its not his fault but he's not able physically to lead by example any more.

Never drills a cross in. Always floats. So much easier to defend against.

Broken record Zat. You have maintained some irrational hatred for Seamus for years.

I just hope it is not some manifestation of xenophobia or sectarianism for your own sake, as it is a deeply toxic trait for the xenophobe, not for the target.

Against West Ham he was the only one who finally had a go at them, after ages of sitting off by the whole team.

Yesterday, he was still the best of a crap group of defenders. To compare him with Rondon is frankly childish and irrational.

Sorry if this offends.

*sees post about a crap player*

First things that come to mind...

Xenophobia

Sectarianism

Toxicity

Childishness

Irrationality

Ahhh...its because he's from Ireland is it?

Wait.

Can I still call non-English players crap?

Or does it only offend you when theyre Irish?

I think I know the answer to that one.

No Zat, I loath cowardly anonymous abuse of any individual. You really seem to have problems facing up to what you are.

Putting you on ignore as I really dislike keyboard bullies.

Would love to know what he was saying to fans. He seemed angry and was throwing his arms out in a "what" type of way.

Not really, no.

He's a Rondonesque problem in defence.

If i was an opposition manager id target him all game with pace and movement.

hang on a sec.
Yea, Colemans time might be up, and he should have been replaced in the Summer but he's actually done OK (bar the injury) till Watford. He was one of the better performers in a fairly dire West Ham showing.
Rondon, on the other hand, is one of the worst players I've ever seen in a blue shirt.
If you're comparing full backs to Rondon, maybe go for Cuco Martina or someone, Even Martina was a better full back than Rondon is a striker and that's quite an achievement.
So yea, Coleman's race is almost run and a replacement is badly needed but he's not in charge of signing players or picking the team and bar Watford, he's done OK this season.
