I think that’s a harsh assessment of where Coleman is at. IMO he is still among the best right fullbacks in the Premier League and still has plenty of pace.Quote:

He is Everton’s captain for a reason and the suggestion that he could lose his place is ridiculous as far as I’m concerned.
I felt he was looking back to himself recently as well. Clearly a bad night last night but I agree it was more unfortunate than anything. He criticised his own performance at Old Trafford recently as a show of support to Jordan Pickford after the Anfeild error. I didn't see the full game but in the highlights he looked good in an attacking sense, but apparently Martial gave him a tough time at the other end.
Its just that we have no friendlies to prepare and learn and we know for a fact Seamus can play there, Matt hasn't played right wing ( wing back is totally different, as you know)Quote:

That's fair enough. I don't see anything positive about having Doherty right full and Coleman in front of him on the right side of a 5 in midfield or vice versa. They are both full backs that's where they should play and Doherty has shown fine ability to play left full. Either in an advanced wide midfield/attacking role will minimise our potential for creativity. Brady, Robinson, judge, o dowda, mcgeady even Horgan all offer miles more creative potential on the right of a five man midfield.Quote:

He would be lost in midfield for us in my opinion and that would be unfair on a fine serventQuote:

I appreciate there are nuances to the two positions and not every player can perform in both roles -- but based on what I've seen I think Doherty could be a winger. It's his excellent off the ball running that pushes me into thinking it could work.
I generally back the view Coleman should play at right fullback and Doherty then be deployed as a winger or at left fullback (assuming Coleman is available).
The general consensus amongst the Everton lot is that Coleman is not the player he was pre-injury. They still love him and rate him very highly though.Quote:

O’Neill / Keane did not rate this Guy . Perhaps thats one of the many reasons that they are now unemployed !Quote:

He just dropped out of the top ten with a below par performance at Fulham but got a good rating at Spurs following that with an assist, it is a tough job maintaining such a high rating you need to be performing well pretty much every game.

Assist v Spurs
Dropped today? Their full backs have been outstanding today
Ah. It's a bit dramatic to assume he was dropped. He's played more than anyone and has been in good form. It's clearly just a rest.

You'll find whatever you're looking for on Twitter, to be fair.
All I can find is talk of a move to Liverpool.
