Everton captain Seamus Coleman has said he was able to take personal criticism from Jamie Carragher - but admitted he does get ‘angry’ at consistent attacks on his club and former teammate Richarlison.
The 33-year-old came under serious fire from ex-Liverpool defender Carragher for his part in last season’s 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham, which saw Spurs three up by half-time and five up before the hour. Everton’s lacklustre performance warranted criticism, but the Sky Sports pundit somewhat unfairly zoned in on Coleman.
"Seamus Coleman - I actually feel sorry for him - he's been a great full-back for Everton, but right now this is happening far too much, where people are just running in behind him,” Carragher told Sky Sports at the time. "And that goes back to Everton's recruitment, that Seamus Coleman's still playing right now."
