Seamus: Everton can win the FA Cup
Everton right-back Seamus Coleman says that his side want to win the FA cup and use it as a launch pad to go onto bigger things.
The Republic of Ireland international has been at Everton for 5 years and hasn’t won anything in that time, but is enjoying a fine season scoring 6 times and he believes that winning the FA Cup would be a massive boost for the club.
“We want to go as far as we can in the cup,” said Coleman.
“It is going to be a difficult draw but you have to beat them all at some stage if you want to win and there are some good teams still in it.
“I’ve been here five years now and I’ve not won anything so it would be nice to win and there are other lads who have been here longer who want to win it as well.
“It would lift the club as a whole. Winning an FA Cup is massive for any club and it would be as big for us and a big stepping stone for other things.”
Coleman believes that Everton are well placed to make a move with a number of key players coming back to full fitness and more to come in the next week or so.
“We have Rom (Romelu Lukaku) coming back from injury so we are starting to get stronger after a few injuries with Antolin Alcaraz nearly back as well,” said Coleman.
“We have got a good squad and for the things we are looking for this season we need a big squad.”
Coleman was also delighted with the impact of new striker Lacina Traore
“Lacina has taken a while to get in because his injury but he has been brilliant and is a great asset to have on the pitch – and I am sure that goal will do his confidence the world of good,” Coleman said.
“He did well and thankfully he got a goal to get him going.”
