Everton: Seamus Coleman’s summer exit on the cards following what he did against Newcastle

Seamus Coleman, after his poor performance against Newcastle, can no longer be Everton’s first choice if they want to progress.

Barring his own goal in the 2-1 defeat at St James Park on March 30, the 35-year-old’s performance was cause for concern.

He was named in the starting eleven and his performance raised doubts not just about his place in the playing eleven but also at the club.

Stats do not make good reading for Coleman

Statistical study supports these concerns.

Coleman was dribbled past once, committed an error that resulted in a goal, and struggled with passing accuracy, completing only 58% of his passes, according to Sofascore.

Despite playing 90 minutes, he only completed 14 passes.

His inability to complete crosses or long balls, along with losing possession 13 times, further exemplifies his struggles on the pitch.

He made one cross attempt and five long ball attempts and was unsuccessful with all of them.
