Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has provided a strong response to recent criticism levelled at Everton defender Seamus Coleman by pundits, including Jamie Carragher.
Recently a number of Blues players have been put under the microscope to varying extents as the club have continued to slip down the Premier League table. They remain in 17th place as things stand at the time of writing, four points ahead of Burnley, following a rousing performance and result against Manchester United at the weekend.
L:ast month, Everton played out a disappointing 5-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur away from home in a match broadcast live on Sky Sports. At the time Carragher, who was providing punditry in the studio, branded the Blues back line as Championship-level, before crticising how often Coleman is beaten by a run in behind.
