Séamus Coleman (D Everton b.1988)

Nice isolated stat: Seamus Coleman completed five dribbles without being dispossessed once by Newcastle. He also made seven tackles.

Sounds like something from The Exorcist.

That is one of his strengths, he is 16th on dribbles per game (2.2), the are players who make more dribble but
all bar one get dispossessed more often and that is Mesut Özil who makes 2.3 dribbles per game and gets disposed
0.7 times per game same as Coleman.
So he makes 3 dribbles before he is dispossession, which is world class especially for a left back!

Caught out for City's equaliser today after losing Negredo's run.

**tetsujin1979** · 05/10/2013, 2:15 PM

gave away the penalty as well, although it looked a debatable decision

Well those might knock his stats a bit but I will have to see the incidents as some of you might be biased.

I would check out those stats TC
Charlie and Tets are certainly at the top of the list of the 'biased against Coleman' suspects.

I resent that geysir. I have been at the forefront of the 'Coleman is lucky' campaign and was as shocked as anyone when that ludicrous penalty was given.

Watching it again, Coleman was actually positioned properly and Distin played Negredo on. Sorry, Seamus. I meant no harm.

One of those "I'm not sure if you're taking me serious or not"

But surely you didn't think Coleman would be lucky all the time? The way he chanced his luck like that with wild abandon, in most every game?

**Charlie Darwin** · 06/10/2013, 12:03 AM

I thought his luck would last forever. I'm still shocked we haven't qualified for the World Cup.

Saw the 'penalty' very unlucky he barely touched him and he went down like a sack of potatoes,
hardly any contact, just a dive.

Nevertheless, a stat is a stat, he fouled and gave away a penalty.
A black mark on his football soul.

True, it looks like that is reflected in his stats as he has dropped to 23rd (also his shirt number so probably he did that deliberately).

This is what I wrote earlier

That is one of his strengths, he is 16th on dribbles per game (2.2), the are players who make more dribble but
all bar one get dispossessed more often and that is Mesut Özil who makes 2.3 dribbles per game and gets disposed
0.7 times per game same as Coleman.

However now he is up to 10th on dribbles, 2.4 per game and only dispossseed 0.7 time per game. So he is now ahead of Mesut Özil who is 2.3 dribble and 1.7 dispossessed.

All those above him on dribbles have been dispossessed at least twice as often ie 1.4+

Also as he was innocent it is hardly a black mark on his soul, it is the ref who has some explaining to do at the pearly gates.
