Coleman impressed by Saha's fab four

Defender Seamus Coleman believes Everton's season would look in much better shape had striker Louis Saha been available more often. The Frenchman became the first Everton player to score four goals in the top-flight at Goodison Park since Joe Royle 40 years ago in Saturday's 5-3 win over Blackpool - only the Toffees' sixth Barclays Premier League victory of the campaign. But injuries have interrupted Saha's campaign, and Coleman said Everton could only imagine how much better their 30-point tally and 13th place would have been had Saha been fitter for longer. "If we'd had a player of his class available every week of course it would have made a difference because you give him half a chance and he'll score a goal," said 22-year-old Coleman. "But hopefully that win will give us a real confidence boost."
