Probably Moyes wanting to keep interest in Coleman to a minimum by playing up his perceived flaws so he can actually keep a decent player for once!Quote:

Coleman starting in the Liverpool-Everton derby tonight.
BBC report that Everton will start with two men up front, but I think we may see Coleman on the left again, Pienaar behind Stracqualursi and Anichebe on the right - that is, Moyes' usual 4-4-1-1 formation. Just a wild guess, mind you.
I was almost right. Swap Seamus and Victor and there you go.
Seamie looked a little leggy and had a torrid time at Anfield tonight. Was subbed off after 60 minutes. He's only back from injury, so let's just hope he wasn't match fit.
I was confused by how narrowly he was playing. Maybe it's just rustiness - or else a bizarre game plan - but he seemed to spend a lot of time running in between the strikers. It's strange because as a full back his greatest strength is that he offers so much natural width.
Can't be that rusty, he started against Spurs last Saturday. Perhaps tired.
Coleman started for Everton today in their cup match with Sunderland. Came off with a groin problem. Didn't have a great game, other than getting one lucky break, Bridge had his number.
Showed both the positive and negative of his game in one move early in the second half. Took a long pass and burst past two defenders into the box but lacked skill and composure to finish, hit a tame effort in the side netting.Quote:

I'd have posted this a while back, but I can't post on this site from work any more (Internet Explorer issues I think): Despite the clamour from some quarters Coleman is not doing enough to nail down a place in the 23 for Polkraine. Injuries haven't helped but he needs to finish the season strongly.
jeez was he crap when he came on today..
Lucky not be sent off gave away a soft free kick outside penalty area which led to the winning goal.
Not good enough yet to take to Poland..
If Trap saw that Seamie'll be asking Wes Hoolahan if he's got room in the campervan. He's making Trap's decision quite easy at the moment.
Should have been sent off, gave away the foul for the winner and was absolute poison when he came on. Been a very very bad season for the lad, sooner it's over the better for him. Hopefully can rediscover his form next year.
Don't see him making the squad tbh and it'd be the right decision based on form.
After today if it's a straight call between Seamie and Kevin Foley then Foley wins hands down. Had a decent game for Wolves today...
Coleman isn't being considered as a full back by Trap at the moment.Quote:

McGeady, Duff and Hunt are on the plane, that leave one wide midfield slot. I'd say McClean is ahead of Coleman for that position. I can't see Coleman going to Poland
I wonder is it worth a mention that SSL can play RB also and has done for Leicester for a number of games this season, during which he won unequivocal praise from the fans for a bit. Frustratingly out of the side there again at present though.Quote:

Think he was left back...in Liverpool...But, he'll be right back...next week.
Moyes had zero defenders on the bench. Mind games.
I expect giving away the free-kick which cost them an FA cup final chance played a role in leaving him out.
I think its safe to say Coleman wont be in Poland this summer.
Cue a 'didn't cut the mustard' gag.
Dare I say it, but is Trap's judgment vindicated? And Dunphy's...?
I think it'd be easy to use Coleman's dip in form as vindication of Trap's opinion, and I'm sure he has seen "great debut season, dodgy second season" lots of times over, but in fairness to Coleman, I think he just never got going this season for one reason or another, includin injury. It's probably right that he won't make Poland (I wouldn't pick him) but he's got a big future in green I reckon. Chin up Seamie.
Can you imagine the feeling of devastation felt by Seamus?
Being dropped altogether from your club team, then being dropped from the national squad. Character building stuff.
Good to see Coleman back in the squad. Hopefully he can stay fit and rediscover his form. MOTM against Dundee United yesterday although his final ball was apparently a let down at times. Here's a link to Everton's 87th minute winner created by our Seamus.

great to see him startingpre season well. From an ireland view point it is a shame he is not getting a chance at full back for everton but hopefully for him he can be a regular for everton this seasoneven though that is more than likely on the right of midfield.
He did get 45 mins there in Everton's first pre-season game against Morecombe and he is also starting at RB today against Motherwell so we shall see. His problem at getting minutes there is that Everton have Hibbert and Neville who are solid RB's and have hardly any wingers so Coleman is 1st or 2nd choice RM. Everton's 3 best wide players from last season (Drenthe, Pienaar, Donovan) were all on loan and they haven't really signed replacements yet (Naismith? I think prefers to play off the striker?) so Coleman at the moment looks like he will continue mainly at RM.Quote:

off the bench tonight to face a tiring United defence. Did his job well too, driving forward from deep with the ball. Won the ball against Vidic that should have drawn a booking, but wasn't given.
He played very well when he came on, going to find it tough to start at Everton at the moment, they play great football tonight, a joy to watch in fairest
Yeah did what he had to do well...defo will find it tough. Ps an is a fine footballer, quite underrated and hibbert is a very solid full backQuote:

I believe he won the MOTM award and got the assist for the 5th goal. Here's what he had to say after the game:

With Hibbert injured and Neville coming off last night as a precaution, we might see if Seamus can do a job starting at RB in the PL on saturday vs. West Brom. Well, we can hope.Quote:
