Interesting to note that Phil Neville sat this one out with a knee problem. Moyes started with Hibbert at right back instead of Coleman. Moyes clearly still doesn't trust his defensive skills yet. Really disappointing as personally I see him as a potential top class right back. I don't think he will reach anywhere near the same heights as a right midfielder. With Anichebe and Osman close to returning to full fitness, and with Fellaini back now after suspension, it is hard to see him starting regularly at right wing.

Trap was right about this guy.

Not the most insightful article to be honest, but it concentrates on Coleman.
Good to see him back in the starting line up today against Chelsea
He's giving the best left back in the world a good game
Seems to be having a good game.
Everton have just equalised, commentator said Coleman got assist but he was wrong, good result if it stays 1-1.
It was a cross from Baines, headed back across goal by Cahill and finished by Beckford with a close range headerQuote:

lovely push on terry.
Just saw MoTD. He took Ashley Cole out from behind for a certain penno in my opinion.
Speaking of pennos, I thought the Howard / Anelka incident was really similar to Shay and van Nistelrooy in 2001. I don't think it was a penalty but 99 refs out of 100 would give it. In my opinion Anelka, having knocked the ball wide of Howard had to run one side or the other. Instaed he ran straight and clattered into Howard who was just standing his ground. Anyone agree?
Totally. Howard couldn't have gotten out of the way if he wanted to.Quote:

I think it was geysir who said a few pages ago that Coleman is a "lucky" player. He certainly seems to be that, and long may it continue. At the same time, the ball in was too far behind Cole for him to make contact anyway and it would have been harsh for Everton to lose the game on account of two off-the-ball collisions.
Post of the month so far. Who else is getting luck? Short list I'm afraid.Quote:

I love it when they get it so massively wrong.

With England lacking in quality in the right-back position, if Coleman pushes on he could be challenging for a regular place in the England team, sooner rather than later.
As for such a comment you can place it were the ventriloquist places his gesticulations.Quote:

Delighted to see him bounce back after not getting a run out with Ireland, dropped for a game and all the while playing out of position.
As was noted earlier on this tread that 'Trapp was right about this guy?' Methinks not.
That comment was in relation to Coleman not being ready to play at fullback. He has been excellent pushing forward, but you can't deny that he has been dodgy at best in defence. He has been extremely lucky not to have conceded a couple of penalties and no doubt the yellow / red cards that probably should have come with the fouls. He'll improve with experience, but he's not a full-back yet.Quote:

Sure, Coleman has played well for a few weeks on the wings in the Premier League, as have many other players who are now plying their trade in the Championship and lower. By the time the next international game rolls around, we'll have a better idea how good he is. I think most people here would agree that he'll ultimately end up as a right sided defender.
Good grief -- there really is some unremitting guff in the internet!

Didn't think he was particularly good tonight (at least after the opening half hour) though he certainly wasn't bad...was brought off with 15-20 minutes remaining.
I thought he did well considering how much he had to defend. Caught out by Kolarov a couple of times when he came in-field.
apart from the assist, I barely noticed him, especially in the second half. What I will say is that City had countless balls deep into their left, with noone running on to them so presumably Coleman and Neville were doing their jobs on the right.
Thought he had a good start but faded as the game went on. I think "defending" a 2-0 lead doesn't really suit him, as the play became more conservative.
When the game was about counter-attacking at the beginning, he looked in his element, but when Everton had to change their tactics to retaining the ball while in the lead, he didn't seem as comfortable. I remember him giving the ball away a couple of times which was disappointing but he's still learning his trade.
Great ball though for the goal as mentioned, and a fanstastic team performance by Everton...actually put down some coin that Everton would win this match, so I'm a happy boy today.
Moyes has already said he'll be looking to bring in a right winger in January, says he wants to give Coleman a break.
Coleman playing on the right wing for Everton today away to West Ham, great goal!
Yes just saw that one nice goal did well to get on the end of the cross and tuck it away.
BBC had the score screwed up they had it at 0-1 when it should have been 1-0
Yeah nice finish. He seems lively.
Not afraid to get into the box and have a go.
He really deserves to be in Irish squad ahead of some others
He really should have scored another goal just before half-time but was surprised at how much time and space he had an blasted it over instead.
Yeah he snatched at it but willing to have a go which is good to see.
Don't know how that would fit into Trap's uber-conservative style though
There seemed to a lot of bodies between him and the goal, not easy to score, could have hit it better perhaps, but it would have taken something special to score from where he was, I have only seen it on a stream though.Quote:

Don't be making excuses for him, no reason for him not to get the shot on target at the very least. Worrying. We'll see if he still gets a game once Moyes brings in his new right winger come January.Quote:

"Everton's best player"
That's probably a fair comment, who played better?
Certainly not the guy who scored the own goal!!
He's been in the squad for the last two games.Quote:
