Kevin Mirallas is like a new signing in Jan

[ToffeeMike]

Thing with Kevin is I havent seen him do it against quality opposition.

Fantastic against Orient, awful team
Fantastic against Liverpool, Wisdom at RB
Fantastic against Reading, awful team

Those three have been his better games. What I do know is that he played upfront against Orient, left midfield against Liverpool and Left midfield against reading. When he played his best stuff.

The fact he's been injured most of the season he hasn't really had the chance. He's starting to come in to form now which is good considering we've got some tough away trips in the next month or two.

Mirallas-Baines Left
Pienaar-Coleman Right with the midfielders swapping throughout the game is something we have wanted for a long time. Lots of pace.

mirallas looks amazing on the left and even though pienaar and baines are amazing together we dont need to play like that all the time. kind of like we dont have to hoof to fellaini all the time but we still do

Agreed, didn't half make a difference 2nd half when they switched sides. I even think Mirallas and Baines would be a better partnership than Bainaar and Pienaar and Coleman a better partnership than Mirallas and Coleman.

Mirallas is the best attacking player we have. We should be forming the team around him and letting him play in the role he does best.

Another controversial statement from the Bren-Meister!!!

Good one Pal

I think as long as Pienaar and Mirallas are both on the pitch, they will not play in 1 position for the full 90 minutes. They can swap and be equally as effective on each side, as defenders won't know who will be running at them next. With Coleman and Baines also bombing down the wing our wide play is going to be very important for the remainder of the season.

He's been very average since his injury. Not his fault like, just what happens after a niggly injury. Oldham and more so yesterday tho he was absolutely class.

As said by others tho, bit of a worry that clearly his best posistion is on the left. Which means either pienaar has to go right, breaking up the baines partnership or mirallas plays on the right where yes he's still good but not as good!

Maybe/hopefully he can take that form over to the right hand side.. Or at least maybe him and pienaar can switch throuout games

I thought Pienaar was quality when he moved to the right hand side. His goal was naughty as well

Damn right.

 

[Carlito]

It looks as though Mirallas is feeling a bit more confident in his hamstring now. He didn't seem to want to go all-out when he first came back.

But then you've got Neville playing.

...or we could not. i'd rather have naismith up front and keep mirallas on the right than do that

Not a bad shout mate but Neville terrifies me at right back.

Straight swap with Anichebe would be best.
