Coleman urges full commitment from Everton

Seamus Coleman saved Everton’s bacon in their last game at Goodison Park, his equaliser sparing their blushes in a 1-1 draw against Swansea, but he believes the whole team must start fighting to turn their fortunes around.

A defeat away to Southampton sent Ronald Koeman’s side sliding down the Premier League table and they are a point behind Sunday’s opponents Manchester United in seventh.

But Ireland’s Coleman has called on his teammates to give their everything against Jose Mourinho’s side, while taking confidence from their strong home record against United.

“We have to look forward, do the right things and when we come off that pitch we have to be able to look in the mirror,” he said.

“There have been some games recently where we haven’t been good enough. We may have played well in spells but we need to do it over the 90 minutes

“It is going to be a tough game against Manchester United, but we have to go out and perform and do so for 90 minutes – not for 45.

“We can take confidence from the home record. The home form has been good.

“I just try to approach things the same way every day. I try to do the right things. Some games, things don’t go right for you but that’s not an excuse for you stop trying to do things correctly.

“You have to keep being professional and, if we can do that, then hopefully our luck will turn.”
