Despite age, injuries, and limited game time, Seamus Coleman delivered a sensational performance for Everton against Manchester City. His resilience and fitness, praised by Everton boss Sean Dyche, highlight his enduring value to the team.
Martin O’Neill would often lament during his Ireland reign that the ageing process had robbed him of the opportunity to work with an in-prime Robbie Keane.
His performance gets even better when you add up a number of factors, such as his game-time this season, his injury woes and, of course, his age. Yet the fact that Coleman had played only 17 minutes since the August 31 defeat to Bournemouth - as a sub last weekend against Chelsea - didn’t deter Everton boss Sean Dyche.
“ is mentally tough as well, he's our club captain for a reason so I've got no doubt in his ability to play and get back to true fitness.” Hallgrímsson could certainly do with some of what Coleman offers both on and off the pitch in the Nations League promotion/relegation play-offs in March, and later in the year when the World Cup qualifiers kick off.
