Barkleys tackle was a horrible one, im not even going to defend him. Like my post says, players know the consequences of their tackles - they play the sport virtually every day from 7/8 years old.

Taylor did not think 'im going to break his leg here' but he still knows the dangers of flying in the way he did. Like I said, the phrase I would use to describe a over the top studs up challenge would result in a ban of my own.

No excuses for a tackle of the barkley or taylor mould. NONE.

I think we probably agree with each other.

I agree with you here but can't stop wondering if the ref gave a red to Bale for his horrendous tackle, would we have seen this injury of Coleman's. Its a question we will never know the answer to but I think we wouldn't have and imo blame is not only on Taylor's shoulders but lies slightly further back into the game where dangerous tackles like Bale's was allowed with only a yellow. I might be wrong and stand to be corrected tho, as I only saw the pictures of the tackles and not the full game.

I agree mate, very valid point. I think had Bale seen red, then Taylor may not of made that tackle - like you say, we would never know. In this case how was the referee to know what was coming ?

All in all it was just a horrific moment, made all that bit worse in our eyes because it was a Everton player, also because it happened to a lad who is a credit to Everton Football Club, on and off the field.

Ronald Koeman has backed Seamus Coleman to come back strongly from his horrific injury, describing the Ireland captain as “one of the best professionals I’ve ever worked with at any club”.

The Everton manager acknowledged the extent of the blow it is for one of his most experienced players to be ruled out for an extended period following a successful surgery on the broken tibia and fibula Coleman sustained to his right leg in the World Cup qualifying game against Wales last Friday in Dublin.

Koeman spoke to Coleman on Saturday when the Everton right-back was still in pain and reeling from the shock of an incident that will keep him sidelined well into next season.

But the 28-year-old defender's dedication and professionalism, backed up by an iron will underpinned by belief, are traits that will go a long way to helping the Irishman on his road to recovery, his manager maintains.

“It’s a big, big blow for the player and a big, big blow for the Club,” Koeman said. “It takes time for everybody to come to terms with something like this and, of course, that is felt most deeply by Seamus himself.

“He was in pain when we spoke - it is normal to have some pain after such an injury – and, naturally, he was feeling very down. This is all normal. But he knows he will have a lot of support and the reaction of Evertonians, their thoughts and good wishes and the reaction of so many other people as well who follow the game will mean a lot to Seamus.

“In all my years in football, Seamus is one of the best professionals I’ve ever worked with at any club.

“His dedication to the game, his attitude and motivation are always where they should be and that’s 100 per cent, and he’s like that in training every day as well as in games.

“That mentality will really be helpful to him now in not only coming to terms with what has happened but in setting out on the road to recovery and, over time, in him building himself once more to the level he has maintained over many years here at Everton. That strength of character will be a big, big thing.”

Coleman has been an almost ever-present player for Everton since he made 40 appearances in what was considered his breakthrough season in 2010/11.

Currently one of the Club’s longest-serving players, he has now started in 247 games since his move from Sligo Rovers, famously for "60 grand".

This season under Koeman, he has scored four goals and contributed three assists, proving his worth not only as a solid defender but as an attacking outlet, marauding along the right touchline.

“The length of time he has been at the Club, the kind of player he is, the fact that he takes such a keen interest in the community here – only a couple of weeks ago, I believe, he was at Everton Free School for a game involving Everton in the Community’s Down Syndrome team – all of these things mean that he is held in high esteem by Evertonians,” Koeman continued.

“And he is valued very much as a player, which makes it really difficult that we are talking about an injury that will keep him out for six, seven months, something like that.

“But I know he will come back strongly, that’s the type of man he is. And he will have support from everyone around him, too, which he knows.

“It won’t be easy what he has to face but he has the character to overcome this, I am sure.”

"An iron will underpinned by belief". Not sure if this is an inspired or poor choice of words.

I agree, Barkley on Henderson was 100% designed to snap him, out of frustration or just trying to do a derby moment of his own, he went for him and if similar results had happened to henderson as it did our sheamus then i am sure it would have been 'job done' in ross's eyes, until the regret crept in afterwards.
 

Do you think when they pinned his leg they could adjust it so when he is back he can cross a ball?

All jokes a side, I hope he can make as full as a recovery as possible. He is going to be a big miss on our right hand side!
