Would ye have him as a right midfielder with Kelly behind him or basicallly in ahead of Kelly. if he is on the right of midfield who do we drop out of McGeady and McLean? Id probably stick with him at right back so we can have McGeady and McLean on the pitch so unfortunately no place for Kelly bit harsh that mu few right backs in the world could have recovered from the speed of that german counter attack

Im not completely condemning the lad as he was exposed to be fair but he waited just that extra second to close Reus down. Maybe he was reluctant to come out incase Reus dribbled around him but I thought he should still have went to challenge him. Overall he done well in the two games and probably deserves to stay RB

Thought he was sh*t defensively ok going forward

I watched the game again today and thought he did ok. He was as I expected caught out of position a few times primarily for the 2nd goal.

Imo Coleman is more of a right midfielder. He was comfortable on the ball last night but his positional sense is woeful for a full back. Saying that it was not easy on the lad to make his competitive debut is such a game and the centre backs and Mcgeady were no help to him.

All our problems were down the left last night as Ward is not up to it and Cox is not a winger so I don't see how you're blaming Coleman for the 6 goals.

Coleman's good performances at right wing for Everton meant he was played there more often. And have you ever seen Tony Hibbert play? He's a solid right back and very experienced.
