Seamus Coleman

[chicoazul]

Thought he was left a bit wanting against Orient when they brought their fast winger on second half.

Coleman should stay where he is when hibbo is back Coleman has do a lot more than hibbo in RB

 

[neo2020]

I thought he was superb yesterday but the real question is can he defend against people like Nani, Hazard etc. I think that for now, Hibbo is much the better defender and should be used against the better teams.

I thought hes done well, hasnt really been given a proper testing, but hes putting in some lovely balls and looks the part coming forward.

Well done Seamus son.

I agree. I think he might give us a decent option from the bench if chasing such opposition, though.

Away yes but at home surely we should be making the better teams worry about us?

He can only play well against those put in front of him. Playing well at the moment. Let's see in the derby, but Hibbo will prob play, and other 'big game'. Let's remember this was a home game against a team that will be battling relegation.

Played well though.

That's true. And in the short term you might get reversals against the likes of those teams where in the recent past we've being getting solid results against them. But maybe the 'real, real' question is whether we want to start to give the team more balance at last and move away from an over-reliance of attacking down the left and chipping balls into the box onto Fellaini's head.

 

[Furry10]

Agreed. Coleman over Hibbert any day of the week!!

 

[Joey66]

Yes & we always win with Hibbo in derbies - Coleman needs a run in the team now whats the saying do not change a winning team uless a star player needs to come back - Hibbo is not a star player - a steady right back poor going forwards!

 

[AusTekkaz]

I would play him against Wigan, but have Hibbert for QPR and Liverpool (if Hibbert is fit?)

 

[GwladysBlue]

Why would we play Hibbert a very limited footballer against Liverpool? They'll attack us and Coleman can exploit this.

Not if they exploit Coleman first.

 

[DanEFC92]

To be fair, he had a terrible time against Diouf of all people.

 

[davek]

Not if they exploit Coleman first.

That's what competition between teams and players is all about.

They'll be happy if we sit back to let Sterling run at us and give him nothing else to think about
