Sir Seamus Coleman

But can he defend? All his plaudits seem to come from his attacking.

Probably not, perhaps we should try and mate him with Hibbert so the offspring will be ace in 20 years.

good question, his surging runs look more like those of a winger than a full back

 

[Neiler]

Just think he cant get into the Irish team with Kilbane keeping him out!

Forget about Phil Neville - now thats pain!

There were a couple of times where he was one on one with an attacker and he won the ball cleanly.

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

View the tackle against spurs then ask if he can defend.

 

[BlueMedley]

I remember being equally impressed with his defending and attacking.

 

[tsubaki]

if one takes dani alves as an example, sometimes attack really is the best form of defence. great goal, poor hibbert.

I remember he kept Bellamy pretty quite when he came on against City, so I did say he is at least average at defending, which is already pretty good consider his strong point is attacking!

Neville cannot even run that fast never mind score a goal like that. Need Coleman back here.

Definitely. Too bad Moyes won't replace Neville with anyone other than Hibbo, so unless both of them are injured Coleman won't play much with us, even if he is better than both of them combined.

 

[MapleLeafEvertonian]

Saw that goal blueblood, sheer quality. Great solo effort from Coleman.

 

[billycopper]

He was involved in practically every chance! Perhaps next season we'll see Coleman getting forward down one flank and Bainsey down the other.

 

[ijjysmith]

Call him back now

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Spot on, play him as the striker and put Yak et al on the bench.

 

[cerberus]

Blackpool fan here.

Coleman has been brilliant since signing for us. Steady on the ball in defence and very, very good when going forward. Has very quick feet and some nice turns. He seems to have the knack of keeping the ball even if there are 2 players trying to tackle him.

Personally I think he needs at a bit more experience at this level, maybe till around May 2nd (or hopefully 22nd May if we make the play-offs).

He was also voted MOM today.
