• Brendan #20, you are mistaken.Coleman played an entire season and part of a second as our starter at right wing/mid, and that was after he returned from his Blackpool loan in May 2010. In 2010/11 and 2011/12, he made 52 appearances on the wing, most of them starts.He didn't become a regular right back until September 2012. ...

Everton had the chance to progress into the top four, but they didn't which has been a feature of Moyes's Everton career for years. When progression up the top was within Everton's grasp he bottled it. To all extent and purposes Everton should have won that game, but didn't.Next game Everton face one of the traditional top six, let's see if he can break his up to now woeful record against such sides. If he doesn't Everton then slides down the table.To challenge in the Premiership it is crucial to achieve wins when faced with such games. At the end of the day it is all about progressing Everton's position up the table. The othe...
