Coleman's goal. Great feet from Barkley, avoiding a trademark Joey Barton tackle in the process, and a sweet first time finish from Coleman.
Just been looking at the shots per goal for goal scorers, Coleman's is 3.5 which is better than Suarez's 4.425, Rooney 5.9
Coleman's seems to be one of the best ratios
Here are some ratios form Feb, the best is Lampard with 2.73, only 2 others are less than 3.5, one is the same 3.5.
http://eplindex.com/26911/premier-le...-analysis.html
Not sure if there is better than 3.5 so far this season, Welbeck might be but it depends how you treat his 4 sub appearance.
Lampard's figures are not so good if you exclude penalties.
Excluding penalties last year the best figures were 3.2 3.25 and 3.5 (same as Coleman).
Not sure where this is going but it will be interesting to see if he can keep getting the goals, he certainly has his shooting boots on at the moment.
Didn't score today...is he unwell?
Heard he missed one on the radio, put it over the bar IIRC but I didn't see so
no idea how miss able it was. He got the best user rating on Sky (7.4) but
Barry got their rating 9, they gave Coleman 8 as they did 3 others.
And Torres did! Is Seamie giving the Chelsea strikers a chance to catch up to his tally?Quote:

i think it's fair to assume that he'd make most international squads on current form. exciting times having him and mccarthy at everton. as for gibson, he has it all to do - again.
Coleman's goal against Southampton was nominated for MOTD's goal of the month for December. There were so many amazing goals that he wouldn't stand a chance of winning even if he was English, but great to see him in the running.
Was that shown today? I Am not sure if I was watching a recording on my video recorder (it's confusing), the result was shown today, or was that a previous competition.?Quote:

Oh OK I have finally figured it out, I was looking in the wrong folder on my recorder and watching Saturdays show, no wonder I was having trouble finding theQuote:

Still think Colemans was best, Oswaldo's was good too. Coleman's was from a tight angle with the outside of the foot.
I could have scored Suarez's.

Martinez warns potential suitors off the scent of 25m Coleman.

Moyes to bid for Coleman?
Coleman limped off injured, didn't look too bad but could be hamstring.
They said it was a hammy. Would be good for him to miss a week. Need to freshen up my fantasy team.
Sounds like you are in danger of relegation Bonnie!!
Bit of a disaster for Everton if he misses the game at Anfield. From what I saw last night they really seemed to miss Barkley.
I watched the 2nd half they were very one dimensional and ordinary.
Yeah it was most of the second half I saw too. Apparently they were better in the first.
And clearly one of their most influential. All at sea tonight.

On the bench today. McGeady starts.

Why Coleman must start against Tottenham
"He’s not made a single error this season which has put his teammates in an awkward position."
Does anybody else think that these injuries may have happened at the perfect time for Everton, bar some bad results they are now heading into the final third of the season with 3 or 4 top quality players to come back, giving fresh impetus to their push for 4th. This could be a blessing in disguise for Everton.
I'm sure it will be beneficial in that Coleman and Lukaku otherwise wouldn't have had a proper rest, but their absence also coincided with a hammering by Liverpool. Even a draw in that game would have Everton in fourth now. Good in terms of refreshing a couple of key players but bad timing.
apart from all those penalties he gives away or nearly gives away. He'll give another one away, mark my words.Quote:

Well not saying they'd have done it alone, but the injuries to those players and Distin meant they were playing the very inexperienced Stones at full back and Alcaraz, who's had next to no football this season, in the centre. Having a makeshift defence certainly contributed to them conceding those goals.Quote:

I think Liverpool are looking like a really good side again though.
Well what do I know!
You could be right stutts.2 very good performances now.
Some day Seamus Coleman will concede a penalty and Anthony Pilkington will truly be out of favour and we will be laughing all the way to the bank, Paul.Quote:

McGeady on the bench today. McCarthy not as good as I've seen recently.
If McCarthy was quieter or appeared quieter does that mean given the last few posts he was actually at his best today?that the less you see of him means in fact he is more effectual.
Grow up Paul. It's pretty obvious what people have been trying to say but it just doesn't suit you to acknowledge it. It is still a matter of opinion whether one rates him or not, that's fine, but to pretend you don't understand the point at hand is a bit daft.
He's never going to be a Hollywood player, that's not his game. I'd say he's more of an "adhesive" player than an "accretive player". He makes himself available for many players a lot of the time so he holds things together and is often the foundation on which an Everton attack is formed. If I can throw in a rugby analogy, he's like a scrum half who gives quick ball rather than a guy who'll get you over the gain line.
I only saw the first half today and thought he was a long way off his best, and he gave the ball away carelessly a few times. But my overall impression of him this season has been of a guy who doesn't hide from the ball and who does e simple things well. I think there's more to come from him. I do worry that he needs a strong partner like Barry to help him along. But he has Barry and he does just fine at Everton.
Grow up Stutts, just because i embarassed you with the prostate/hair loss joke :P
So what you saw yesterday I have seen in a good few games, someone who didn't appear to do an awful lot, but did give the ball away needlessly 4 times in a row, something i havent seen before, however the rest I have. Now that you see that you think he was well off his best, and thats your opinion, I've been saying i've seen this a good bit, and I base my argument on that. It doesn't change now because you saw him off his best, and it doesnt change what people were counter arguing with the fact that he keeps the team ticking along, like oil in a car, it wont run without Petrol but Oil keeps it ticking along nicely, or like electrolytes in the body, it doesnt run at 100% when they are depleted. The argument for McCarthy not standing out is that somehow he is like oil keeping Everton well lubricated and ticking along nicely, something you don't notice but when he doesn't then Everton arent at their best.
I put down that the reason you thought he was off his best was cos of these needless passes and giving hte ball away, had he not done this you probably would have thought he was the gel holding everything together.
I didn't know what that drug referred to!
Yes, I thought he was off his best because he was sloppy at times and had to scramble to recover from his errors. But, at Arsenal for example, he was very positive and hardly put a foot wrong. Everton fans and Martinez are saying that this is how he has been on a regular basis.
I haven't been overwhelmed by any of his Irish performances yet. Trap was right in his "shy" remarks, he has to realise that he is more than just the young guy finding his way. His time is now, step up. Gibson was a bit like that at United - happy for others to do the accretive stuff.
