Mirallas at the final whistle.

[Mickey]

I get what you're saying, but disdain was visibly on the wane, he had been for a couple of seasons. It's a slightly different scenario with Mirallas.

Bobby tried to turn him into a laughing stock like Titus Bramble by asking him to play a way that he wasn't comfortable/able to do i.e play out from the back and Big Sylv was having none of it. He was/is still a good defender imo as he's shown at Bournemouth.

Imagine a manager asking players to play a certain style...the bloody nerve.

I've had it out about disdain with someone else recently. His pace was all he had left when we got rid - and that's going.

Plus, it wasn't as if disdain had had previous with the fans before martinez as well...

I said comfortable with, which he wasn't.

Bobby destroys defenders so can only speculate if he was gone or not. I think he was still well able.

Mate he's about 70, with an attitude problem.

Which is why he wasn't suited for Martinez's system (even though he did fine in 13/14).

Fellaini didn't fit either. Manager's have to have players that fit their system. Distin fit Moyes'...athletic and strong...kinda crap at football.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Back to Mirallas...

This 'attitude problem'. It's just doesn't exist.

Sent off at swansea because their players cased the ref about a tackle Galloway made not long beforehand & got away with; and sent off against west ham for things that happen at least a dozen times a match without anyone batting an eyelid.

Not now no, but when he was rotting in the u21s he could still do a job but was frozen out because he'd rumbled Bobby. Anyway we can agree to disagree.

man city volley, maccesfield one, his header against city maybe the last one wasnt a worldy still as good as mirallas best goals on there haha everyone can have a good youtube video haha, there just of the top of my head

Good to know that he's scored 2 'worldies' in his 13 year career with us. The horrible little kopite grass.

As I say, mate - he was arguing with the crowd before martinez came IIRC. If anyone has/had an attitude problem, then it was disdain.

On the flip side, should a manager not realize the strengths and weaknesses of what he has at any given moment and also be somewhat adaptable? Square pegs in round holes and whatnot.

Nah, Mirallas ruined himself by being a bellend.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Distin left ages ago, never to return.
WTF has any of this got to do with Mirallas?
