www.dailymail.co.uk, April 30, 2023
Everton boss Sean Dyche hopes that captain Seamus Coleman's return will provide him with the much-needed leadership to his relegation-threatened side. With a hamstring injury, the Republic of Ireland international has missed the last three games, conceded seven times, and even in the goalless draw at Crystal Palace seemed overexposed at right-back. Coleman is expected to return to the team and strengthen a flank on which stand-ins Mason Holgate, who was suspended for two yellow cards at Selhurst Park, and Ben Godfrey's appearance are apparent out of place. The 34-year-old is also the most flexible option of the three others in terms of being able to swap in attacks, but it is his knowledge that could be the most valuable as they enter a must-win game against fellow insurgents Leicester.

ADRIAN KAJUMBA AT STAMFORD BRIIDGE: ADRIAN KAJUMBA, a.k.a.a. As he stood in his technical field, Potter nonchalantly leant forward Tom Leary let it fall and back-heel volleyed the ball into play. Chelsea were deservedly 1-0 up at the time, thanks to a superb strike by Joao Felix, who also displayed some fancy footwork at Stamford Bridge. If there is one thing Potter has learned in this occupation is that Chelsea are still not in a situation where too much can be taken for granted.

Seamus Coleman continues to be a great asset at Goodison Park

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 20, 2023
Seamus Coleman feared the question, but the scene outside him in Goodison Park's tunnel encouraged it. He was picked on the shoulder by Nathan Paterson, who was heading home, as Everton's captain spoke with genuine candour. Ben Godfrey, who had just completed a taxing warm down, was walking in the opposite direction at the same time. Mason Holgate was leaning against a wall and watching on. Paterson, who is recovering from an ankle injury, Godfrey, and Holgate might all be Everton's right-back in the future, but the fact is that no one will do what Coleman does for a team that continues to fight for its life. However, what made this little story all the more remarkable was the suggestion that Paterson, Godfrey, and Holgate were all schoolboys in 2009, when Coleman was recruited from Sligo Rovers by David Moyes for £60,000 to kick off his Everton career.

After Everton's gruesome remarks at Man City, let's keep this fighting spirit alive, says Demarai Gray

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 1, 2023
Although Manchester City was left wondering the price of more dropped points, Demarai Gray said that Everton's witty display would be a platform to keep them safe from a relegation scrape. Gray said that the feisty encounter, which featured seven yellow cards, was something the Toffees had wished for in an attempt to make life difficult for the Premier League champions. City were stumbling by hefty Everton challenges, with Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland particularly impressive at the back. Frank Lampard's team only managed one shot on target, but Gray's effort moved beyond Ederson and now has some traction after a Boxing Day sucker punch dealt by Wolves.
