Everton fans call for Coleman to be made captain
Everton fans are calling for Seamus Coleman to be made captain, after the Irishman spoke out about the club’s troubles in recent times.
Not too long ago, top six clubs feared playing Everton, as the Toffees were the one team outside the “big six” that could really go toe to toe with the league’s best, especially at Goodison Park.
The Blues seem to have lost some of that spark in recent times though, and this season saw the end of two managers at Goodison.
Marco Silva was appointed earlier this week, and fans are hopeful the arrival of the Portuguese tactician alongside new director of football Marcel Brands can usher in a new era at Everton.
Seamus Coleman is one player who has never let his form drop, and he has been speaking about the Toffees while on international duty with Ireland, stressing that the players must take more responsibility for their performances.

“That’s what we want, that’s what I want. If I leave without having won anything I’ll be very disappointed.”
