Kevin Mirallas

[Eggs]

Playing very good football. Class.
I think we have the players in our squad to challenge for trophies and I would not want the squad to be upset by additions in the Jan window.
Once the existing squad's confidence is fully restored, the glory days will return.

...wow. I'm naive and take things as they're said but I'm working out that your post might be sarcastic.

The problem with Kev is that when you need leaders on the pitch and everyone to stand up and be counted you can guarantee Mirallas would not be up for the fight. Now he's not the only one who does this, they're all at it but Kev is a prime example of the style over substance felling that plagues this side.

What is this nonsense? How many times have you actually seen him shirk responsibility?

Mrallas is as reliable as a chocolate fireguard !!

Fairly regularly actually. It would be easier to name the times he hasn't.

Just name a handful. Not where he's just had a bad game, but where he clearly shirked responsibility

Kev has enough pace to play in a Koeman team but dives into tackles and lacks the discipline for the kind of game we will be playing. If he could improve that part of his game he could play the Shane Long role for us.

He had a major argument with Williams early on and never really seemed to settle last night.

Half the team last night looked completely ambivalent. Mirallas, however, was part of the other half and gave a decent performance. It seems he's lost a yard of pace, but he's still quick off the mark and at least TRIES to move off the ball - I can't help thinking that if we persist with a 4231 it might work better with Mirallas as the 10 (unless we bring a big-time 10 in during the window). Having said that I would rather we went to the 343 and played him on the left of the front three.

I saw that. From what I can tell, it was something about Lukaku's first touch and whether Moshiri was serious about investing.

Im not sure I'd describe it as shirking responsibility. Im thinking more about his lack of fight and how he just lets his shoulders drop and sulks if this aren't going his way. When we plays well he does it in style but every time he plays bad he compounds his performance with his attitude when he should just be getting on with it and working hard to improve.

That's what is most frustrating about Mirallas: he has undoubted talent and can really challenge defences, but he doesn't do it often enough.

 

[LydiateLee]

He was the one positive from last night, looked like his old self.

 

[TrixyStevens]

Sometimes I like him sometimes I don't. He was ok last night, took a lot of fouls.

I was quite close and heard every word mate.
In a GOT exclusive I can reveal that Williams shouted


"Whose jarg multi are you anyway ?"

Less sarcastic than sardonic. A lifetime of following Everton lends such bent to a fella lol
