Kevin Mirallas Can Be Everton’s Key Man Under Roberto Martinez

[Juanito de La Boca]

I would hope that Miralles might be used behind the front man in the same way that Bale is for Tottenham. Sometimes we seem to lack that dynamism through the middle and that long diagonal ball to Fellaini started to look like an Unsworth pass to Dunc.

I think Martinez is going to get another winger, someone like Sinclair or McMananaman but I hope its Moses, then I think we could see a really exciting midfield three behind the two holding.

Moses Miralles Piennar interchanging would offer all sorts of problems as perhaps Miralles as a false number 9 in a 4-3-3 formation.

For example,
Barkley Fellaini Gibson

Piennar Miralles other winger

..there's an Everton article in this morning's Racing Post under the headline, 'Layers right to expect fall in standard after Moyes Exit'. It goes on to say punters can expect Everton to decline but still be a top half side. Interestingly they predict Jelovic might be the 'one to watch' following his disappointing last season but they actually focus on Mirallas. They say in the 23 games he started the Blues picked up 42 points at an average of 1.83 whilst output fell to 1.40 when he's not in the side.
The stats are fine and dandy but I simply think the boy is a little bit good.

The more I think about it, the more I think we might actually be quite good next season. I know it was a special occasion, but we played West Ham off the park in our last home game.

If Mirallas stays relatively fit and healthy all year I want 15 league goals from him.

We should be, good teams don't turn into bad ones over night.

This is why I dont understand some people saying if we finish mid table it will be a good thing, if we finish any lower than 8th its been a complete disaster.

Not so sure. Its not Mirallas not a good candidate for a false nine, but rather the lack of someone in front of him stretching space (and thus the whole point of a false nine). An advanced utility player like Pienaar just won't fit.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

can we stop with this 'false' crap please, back in the day a 'false' nine was an 8 or a 10.

it's badly Brentdan.

 

[Titus Bramble]

Considering Jelavic's severe case of "second season syndrome", I'm surprised there aren't many people worried it will happen to Mirallas.

Would love to see mirallas play left forward in a 3 pronged attack. IMO it's where he's most affective. Think he would get 10-15 goals from that posistion.

Is right. Might also do the same on the left of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1.

 

[RFUS]

I'd let the lid do what he wants. I've waited years to see an Everton player with that genuine, unpredictable spark of genius.

I'd be perfectly happy to never, ever see him track back again providing he was bumming defences with his sexy little rabonas and ludicrous pace.

What the [Poor language removed] is a false number 9?

 

[Bluenose1995]
