David Prentice, Liverpool Echo , 2 May, 8comments  |  Jump to most recent
This season Seamus Coleman has been asked to defend as much as destroy and – operating as a right-back in place of the injured Tony Hibbert – was named the Blues’ Player of the Month for March.

He's the new Gareth Bale

He is brilliant. His all round game has come on leaps and bounds this season.

One of the biggest improvements I have ever seen in an Everton player. Long may it continue.

Definitely showing more maturity and consistency. The lad was very harshly criticised early on in the season, and hopefully has answered his critics. I do like the sound of Baines/Pienaar & Coleman/Mirallas.

We just need someone who can put the ball in the fucking onion bag now.

He's been a revelation in most games he's played and is one of my favourite players, but if hibbo had not been injured we'd still be debating whether he could make it at RB.

Moyes is too conservative to play young players like Coleman in their best positions unless his hand is absolutely forced, sadly, but I'm confident that we have more Coleman's on the fringe of the 1st team who would develop just as well if given an opportunity.

Just think how good he would be if Moyes was capable of improving players...

In one of our games sometime around February, I forget which one, an Argentinian commentator said that ColEman (yes they pronounce the E separately!) was rather like a Brazilian full back.....

We knew he was pretty decent going forward, but he really has come on leaps and bounds defensively since he returned from injury. I was one of the doubters regarding his defensive abilities, but I'm chuffed as hell to be proved wrong. Well done Seamus, long may it continue.

I have gone (like many) from "Well he simply isn't up to playing in defence" to being completely relaxed/happy that he's part of our back four. His attitude is obviously spot on - put in 100% and you'll reap the rewards.
