Everton hero Steven says fans can be excited about Walcott, Coleman partnership

Published on: 21 February 2018

Everton hero Trevor Steven is excited by the arrival of Theo Walcott.

Steven feels Walcott and Seamus Coleman can form a powerful partnership up and down Everton's right flank.

“The more experience you have, the easier it is to form those relationships," Steven told evertonfc.com.

“Gary (Stevens) and I were young. We were 19 or 20 when we first played together.

“You have two very experienced players there, in Theo and Seamus, and they should click very quickly. Good players can play with good players – that is the main thing.

“Back in the day, it was all about pairings. Your centre-backs, then your right-sided and left-sided pairs. We had those in our team at Everton. Then we had Paul Bracewell and Peter Reid in the middle, and two up front. It was essentially five partnerships.

“Consistency of selection, I think, is paramount for players to get the best out of each other. Then, when you play with each other so often, the understanding becomes almost telepathic in many respects."
