I definitely think that was the moment things went a bit tits up for Mirallas. And it's even sadder when I think he wanted to score for his mate who had just passed away. All in all a crap situation that just got crapper.

If he's fit to start him I think he will mate. Lots of games to rotate for and I imagine it'll be Cleverley who starts out left tomorrow.
You could be right! Forgotten about that. Probably had a message under his shirt ready and everything

Yep, you could see the motivation for him wanting to do it - felt sorry for him when he missed it. Hadn't he done a message on his undershirt for him. Like I say its a shame.

The worst part I think was people trying to make out that kev did it to force a transfer when he really just wanted to score for his friend

Havent we been saying this for 12 months though? There is always a reason, even for when he is benched doing hardly anything.
He wasn't first choice though at the time. Not a suprise belgium didn't start a player who sat on the bench for large parts of the last 6 months, but did they take him?
Sometimes mate it's just that he fits a very certain system and Del is the one who starts at home. Del and Kev really don't give a good balance to start a game with at all, unfortunately.
Kev and Lennon do, so hopefully we'll see more of it. Plenty of games to go and Martinez has played Kev in every game in January that he has been fit for.
Either way he is a professional footballer and didn't act properly. We got a penalty, he forced the issue insisting on taking the kick, missing it and probably cost us two points we badly needed.

What an odd response.
I obviously haven't seen your suggestions previously or I wouldnt have asked. You should put forward suggestions because debating and discussing is the primary function of GOT and by asking i am making it obvious that i'm interested in your opinion.
Oh dear Mart. Oh deary, deary me.
The summer will be very interesting indeed.
I do agree with most posters that John Stones will probably leave, but I think everybody else will stay.
Lukaku is still a very young man and another good season at Everton will only further build his reputation.
I think it will take a monster bid from somebody like PSG to prise him away, I think it will be 80million plus.
So.
We will be getting a new keeper, a new centreback, cover at rightback and the now famous no. 10.
That may well be largely financed by the sale of John Stones.

Evra and Vidic have both since gone, which is an indication of how far back in time this occurred.
Chelsea NEED to get as far up the league as possible. Liverpool have invested huge amounts of cash, yes, but wanted Texeira who would have cost them 30-50million. A player with zero caps for Brazil. Hardly value for money. They swerved, and quite rightly so.
City have a fight on their hands for the title. A holding midfielder, left back, centre back and another striker would all be on their shopping list if the were quality, astute options out there.
Your point on Spurs actually highlights my point better than I could remember. To rephrase what you said, "Had Berahino been under £20million and thus value for money, Spurs would have bought him". I fully agree with you. They didnt get him because £24million+ for him isnt value for money.
Utd are playing some of the most boring, pace-less football they have ever played. They need width and pace. They haven't rectified that because the players aren't available without spending a bucket load of cash.
The final point on our dear gaffer -
You try your best not to, but you concede that he identified 5 areas of the team that needed sorting out and has brought in 2 - Funes Mori at CB and Niasse as the back up striker.
You've forgotten the 2 wide players - Deulofeu and Lennon - both of whom he brought in after making the statement over areas of concern.
So in effect we are only missing a creative player - which I think we can all safely say he has identified - and a keeper.
Gradually replacing, improving the team over 2 windows with 2 positions left to remedy in the summer is reasonable business in a reasonable time frame. Surely?

Everything you said was reasonable....But...
The boring pace-less football you mentioned earlier was more than we could cope with against united. Lennon has barely played and our team building exercise so far is showing we are in fact dropping points, Not improving. It's a results business and this season has been shocking. Not good enough.
