QuoteExcellent defensive performance. Quite not as vibrant going forward but there was one or two blocks and a fantastic piece of defensive positioning which forced Giroud to fowl him. He's looking assured in that defence.
He was superb. Thought he might have got MOTM but Davie Provan gave it to Jagielka.

No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Yes, he was very good, but outstanding might be over egging it, Everton are not an outstanding team, neither were Arsenal.
Coleman didn't give away a penalty all game.
There was a hell of a lot of rushing around out there, Everton look a fit team and are well able for that. I'd say Moyes has them running up sand dunes all week.
Everton don't need to be an outstanding. Arsenal are a very good side and he marked Santi Cazorla; a Spanish international and an outstanding player.
Neither of them looks particularly coordinated, if they were finishing on a double they would be there all night.
I only saw the second half but I thought he was, very definitely, outstanding. Clearance of the match to stop a certain goal, nicked the ball from Arteta in the box near the end, countless blocks from crosses and outpaced Ramsey at one stage even though Ramsey had a sizable head start. In terms of a defensive full back performance I thought he was really excellent.
Yes, and he was. Very accomplished player, almost Dani Alves-like in how much time he spent in Arsenal's half, and even deep in Arsenal's half. It was a cracking game actually.
Given that some mocked Moyes' style in the Trap Out thread I was thinking of posting last night how well I thought Everton used the ball. For large chunks of that game they played better football than Arsenal.
Have to say I thought Coleman was outstanding. I thought he was MOTM. Much better than Jagielka.

That was something else. The SSN highlights reel had a lot of Seamie on it.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Seamus is going to be an outstanding player in a few years. I think he would not look out of place in any team in the Premiership and he is only going to get better.
Without doubt though, this is the poorest Arsenal team in Wenger's reign, we only saw a glimpse of the one touch counterattack from Arsenal which just needed a better finish. Moyes got everything spot on and got every ounce of commitment from his players. It's a pity that Everton are not closer to the CL positions because that 4th spot is there for the taking and Moyes has a gritty team with some skill in that space where both the cash and challenge of the CL could be the thing to move the club up a notch or two.
The benefits of playing in a back four alongside Jagielka, Distin and Baines are becoming pretty clear. He's obviously receiving great tutelage and support. His covering, positioning and passing were all excellent last night. Clark would be another to benefit greatly from the experience in that back four.
A very good game of football too, even though the onion bags remained untouched.
Baines with the locks and hairstyle has the look of a player from the 1970's.
Although I don't see a lot of them and even then I am mainly looking out for Coleman, I do think they play some pretty decent football,
they have players who like to get forward and they pass it about a bit not just lump it forward.
Yes, he was one of the players I was thinking about when I made my last post, I am sure as Coleman
progresses his locks and hair style will too. It's all in the hairstyle really with Fellaini right up there at the top.
Coleman is the highest rated Irish player by some distance in the stats I look at, at no 64
He is developing into a top class player.
Coleman named Evertons Player of the Month for March. Well done Seamie!

In other news, on his player page, his sponsor is one Sean Connor....it couldn't be, could it....?

A beautiful, beautiful, beautiful passage of play from Everton eventually see Coleman pull it back for Pienaar to sweep home. Quality goal.
No Gibson today. Injured.
Dam was watching Norwich V Stoke, knew I would pick the wrong game, got both on now though, Hope they will show the goal at half time.
Worst thing is I was only watching to see Hoolahan and I just realised he is not on the pitch. The commentator was talking about hi thought and I thought he was playing only just realised he isn't.
