Mirallas was amazing today, just want him signed up on a new deal in the summer.

Coleman-Mirallas seems to work more naturally than Coleman Deulofeu as they don't seem to run to the same areas as each other like the latter combo. If Mirallas could find consistency he's easily 20ish assists and 15 goals

He really is a confidence player. Started off a bit dodgy but once that goal went in he was great. One ball he put through to Lukaku was eye of the needle stuff.

agree with that mate. when he's on his game is ace but he has some poor ones as well

think those numbers are pushing it mate, overall his production must be up their amongst the best already, just a quick look and he's got the same combined assists/goals as Lallana and Erickson, Ramsay, 1 less than silva, 44 more than oscar etc, good company on pure stats like

If he was getting 20 assists though mate the likes of Barca, Bayern and Real would be sniffing around him as that's a ridiculously high number in the prem

Think the most frustrating thing about Kevin is his inconsistency. Boss against Arsenal, tosh against Palace, but boss again today. He really needs to try and be 'boss' all the time, but as @Minimeister said he's a confidence player.

Seamus definitely doesn't overlap as much with Gerard in front of him because he knows that he's a player who loves directly taking players on himself. Wouldn't be surprised if Roberto actually prefers it that way when Gerard is on the pitch, but whilst it has worked in certain games this season I'm not convinced that it would be a longer term option. That said, I'd love to keep Gerard for another year as I reckon he'll mature and become more 'complete' as the year goes on (if he stays fit this time).

Soton went gash and Ramsey was out for a long time. Kev hasn't been lights out more than half of his games and he's got great stats, ok, I'll step down and say 15-15
On form with the rest of the team clicking there's no reason he can't be Hazard-lite

Another season of Lukaku with us and someone else to provide from the left would help a lot with those numbers too mate

Really enjoyed watching him leaning against the corner flag.

He's a right snide but at least he's our snide.

Great 2nd half performance in particular from Super Kev, and it also brings the best out of Seamus as well. when Del boy plays it restricts Seamus Coleman's game. Keep it up Kev COYB.

This! They're a great combo. Mirallas should always start with Coleman on the right, and Delboy can substitute him when we're feeling sorry for the opposition's left back.

I have always been a huge fan of Miralllas, he's a cracking player who should be a permenant fixture in our best 11.

How long does he have left on his contract? He's one of them players I get the feeling would be off as soon as he could.

If happily take 20 mill on the back of a good World Cup & spend the lot on Gerard though.

Yes, but the cool thing about Mirallas is that it doesn't seem to bother him. He keeps on trying those brilliant moves so that after 80 terrible minutes he can produce a beautiful goal or ace assist.

Really do hope we can tie him down to another 4 years.
And I think that he knows that the good times are a dam sight closer now playing under Bobby M than what they were under OFM

I keep seeing OFM (mostly from yourself) on here, and while it clearly refers to Moyes, I can't for the life of me figure out what it stands for...
