QuoteCarlito's way!! Seamus as a midfielder today. Very good option
I thought it was a mostly steady game for Coleman, punctuated by a couple of important defensive interventions. There is no universe where he was the best Everton player on the pitch.
Had a bad giveaway late in the game which went unpunished. You could argue he was partially culpable on the second Newcastle goal by going into the box when the corner was taken — usually he is last man back but his team was chasing an equalizer and I’m probably being harsh.
Bottom line — positive and negative moments in the match but I wouldn’t suggest he was decisive in terms of the outcome either way.

He’s so effective coming inside and it worked even better up the pitch. Excellent appearance this evening.
Where in midfield was Coleman playing. Wide right? Centrally?
Seems to be playing on the right side of midfield today for Everton in the derby, looking after Robertson.
Could he play there for us?
Yes, but Kenny must change formation.
You think three at the back is way forward? Where does Doherty fit in?
Seems like he's been displaced by Mason Holgate at right-back for Everton, as he's on the bench again today and hasn't played since the 2-0 win over Liverpool on February 20. He has one more year on his deal and turns 33 this October.

Carlos fault
at home vs the relegation pack a tragedy for Everton toons, today and fulham
He got injured during the Liverpool game. Just returning this weekend. He was man of the match against Liverpool. Wasn’t he?
He wasn't man of the match yesterday, he came on near the end and made some horrible passes.
Forgivable. One thing Doherty's move to Spurs has proved (to me) is that Coleman is a far superior right back, Doherty isn't even a good one really. It shouldn't be the dilemma it was, but if Doc can be accommodated elsewhere that might work.
Why not just play him in front of Coleman in a right hand sided midfield role? If we insist with this 4-3-3 nonsense, play him as the right winger.
McCarthy tried that in Gibraltar and it didn't work and he just abandoned it
Folding my way into the big money!!!
But that was a mistake by McCarthy. Nothing worked that day everyone was awful ( bar randy)
Yeah I really hate that it was abandoned after one match. There are matches where playing two natural defenders on one side makes sense, and when we're the team expected to dominate, it's not the game to do it.
I can also understand McCarthy's perspective to a degree in that in international football you have so few opportunities to actually persist with an experiment that doesn't work initially.
motm performance so far. Such a joy!
