Kevin Mirallas

[Phenom]

Kevin didn't make the Belgian squad. A bit surprised, but probably due to lack of game time with Everton.

I looked at the wingers they have there and to be honest I'm not surprised he hasn't made it especially given his season form.

 

[degsy]

Still feel there is a lot more to come from kev . Hopefully a new start and manager can bring that on.

pretty much this;

New Manager, new start, then it's up to him.

 

[Lanolin]

Or probably he is as much disruptive and petulant with them as he is with us and they have got rid just as we should do.

What makes you think he's disruptive?

He seems to be very popular with the other players as far as I can see (social media posts, goal celebrations etc). Moyes was an absolute stickler for discipline and never seemed to have an issue with him, and Martinez was happy to give him a new contract. Also never heard of him having any disciplinary issues with Belgium.

He's a bit of a show pony with his earring and his gold Bentley and some people just lose their head over it and act like he's some kind of psychopath.

Yip.

Let's hope this acts as a reality check for Kev and he focuses on his club football now, even if it is only to get back in the Belgium squad for the next World Cup.

He has the summer to rest up and hopefully he will be fighting fit and featuring in the new manager's plans come August.

 

[larbert toffee]

I don't think those will be the players he is competing with in August.

As hopefully he will have moved on with them aswell. No doubting Kev is a quality player but he has been disruptive and we can't chance that happening again last thing you would want with a new regime.

He kicked off all our problems with penalties this season taking the ball off Baines attracting negative publicity and got himself needlessly sent off twice. Is that ok for starters?

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

But he missed a penalty once.

It was more down to the lack of playing time thanks to Martinez.

 

[Tubey]

Amazing how many people turn a blind eye to the overwhelming negatives about Mirallas, because he's got a good crowd chant or is a flair player or something.

A complete liability and I'll be horrified if he's anywhere near the starting eleven next season. We should be aiming much, much higher in terms of player quality and consistency now.

Just seems like a winner to me, granted he sometimes goes a bit too far in trying to affect things, but in my memory he's the only player since Cahill who really turns it up a level either in the big games and/or when things are going bad.

I also don't believe the penalty incident was a catalyst for any of our problems, nor was it even a personal glory thing, he just didn't want to lose the game so was trying to take things by the scruff of the neck, it was for Jagielka to contain/manage that.

 

[Paddock]

Martinez ruined Mirallas he ruined most of the good work Moyes done.

He's left us in a right mess. I hope Mirallas comes back next season and proves Martinez to be the clueless knob he really is.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Seems to be more of an impact player to me. I can't remember many times where he's be started a game and been effective, barring the derby where he terrorised a very inexperienced Andre Wisdom. He's too careless in possession.

It was certainly a catalyst for our penalty problems, do you recall any penalty problems up to that point? ...... and after?

Why then deflect the blame to Jagielka? there wouldn't have been a situation too contain/manage if Kev hadn't have been a knob

I didn't say it wasn't.

Didn't help himself getting 2 stupid red cards when he needed playing time.

Eric you're missing the point it wasn't the miss it was the pantomime before the pen and the way it affected Baines.
