2017/18 Kevin Mirallas

[bluekangaroo]

Hopefully the new contract was merely a plot to retain his value, which I'd guess must be around 10 million. Rather have Lennon on the field than him nowadays, and definitely Bolasie once fit. Mirallas is finished with us, which is a shame as I think he is a fan favourite and people are desperate to like him and for him to regain his form, but it ain't coming back.

Too many low crosses that didn't reach their targets last night

Aside from that, I thought he did well

 

[bluekangaroo]

Anybody remember the last time he flew past a defender than did something useful with the ball? Anybody? No? Oh well!

I guess he is Olympiacos standard after all.

Waste of a shirt

Good squad player, get off his back.

Comes up with the odd goal, steps up during the games when everyone else is having a mare, always looking to carry the ball with intent, we don't have enough of these players IMO, suprised the flack he gets tbh.

 

[Abraders]

Wish he would stick nearer to the byline and help us spread the oppositions defence around a bit more, but in reality that's not how Kev likes to play.

His corner in the 1st half was also in a very dangerous spot which forced the keeper to punch it out which led to our goal. If he failed anywhere tonight, it was his crossing. He can be forgiven for that because he is a right-footed player playing on the left side, so it is natural instinct to cut in. If anyone is going to be the scapegoat, it may as well be Kev tbh. Must have completed 90 percent of his passes last night

Rather have a one-legged Bolasie

Thought he could have been played as a no 9 last night - first half never moved much from the touch line!
improved in the 2nd half spread some nice passed , but Lookman was the one full of tricks!

I actually enjoyed that Joey, both him and Lookman basically glued to the touchline stretched our play out nicely and for the first time in a long time we looked to have some width. Won't always work but I thought it was good tactics by Koeman and I can see why he was so annoyed that we didn't put them to bed about 5/6 nil last night because we had the absolute beating of tjem down both flanks, especially on the right

 

[Nyhus]

Good on the right, not on the left.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Good on the right, not on the left.

I always thought some of his best play came from being paired with Coleman on the right. I understand why Koeman wants him on the left as he can cut in and get a strike off, but he looks more natural on his right foot.

 

[ProZ]

Wonder how much he is worth in the market right now.

Would 100% get rid, Will be kept though because of the amount of games we have to play which is understandable.
