How good can Mirallas be?

[hinchcliffesleftfoot]

Obviously, like all sane Toffees, very impressed with are latest Belg wonder. I get the impression that there is a lot more to come from him as he adjusts to the Prem and his new club, just wondering out aloud to be honest but I think he could become a huge player for us.

He has a touch of snide about him, immense pace and that all important Davey M work-rate plus the ability to bag goals (scored tonight against Serbia), Everton cult-hero in the making?

Better than Messi and Ronaldo combined.

Mirallas could be world class mark my words.

 

[EFC Si]

He's good enough for the team there's no doubt about that.

Just got a feeling he might turn out to be a bit like Nani is for United.

Kenwright likes Belg Kev for obvious reason£.

**** the bed!!!:huh::huh::huh: Was hoping for optimism but I think this might be pushing it a bit, a right sided Pienaar would be fine for me!

 

[McBain]

Belgians FFS.

How'd they get so good??

I'm not a big Nani fan so I hope your off the mark, personally I think he has the ability to become a fantastic all round attacker for us, some of his movement and one touch passing is great, just think he needs to work on his finishing a bit (which is odd as he was prolific in Greece)

Have to disagree there.

He's got the makings of a very good player but he's left Coleman exposed a few times. His work rate is an issue for me.

Do you not rate him then? Or would you rather he play in a different role (attacking midfielder ala Cahill/Felli) or do you think he needs a 'supportive' covering RB like Hibbert?

As i said i think he's got the makings of a very good player

You can coach a higher work rate into somebody, for me it's a question of whether he improves in that respect or not. He has all the natural ability.

Personally i'd rather see him up front or behind the striker, when Jelavic is playing then i think he'd be great behind him, gives him more license to stay up the pitch rather than having to worry about tracking back so much.

(sorry just re-read your initial big bolded response)

Have to sat I agree 100%, let him do his thing without the defensive shackles. Would say this might be tricky with Felli's form in the 'Cahill' role, but I think its great with have real options now.

Is that due to his workrate or his positioning though? I'm sure there have been several instances this season where no matter who was playing right mid or right back there seemed to be a huge gap in front of the right back.

I might be imagining things but its often seemed that our right mid has been instructed to often come central to link up with play therefor leaving a gap behind him if he's not careful.

Just needs a bit more time to adapt to the league and then he'll show everyone what he can do.

Could be a bit of both, but there have definitely been times when he's taken too long to track back after we've lost possession, happened at least three times against Southampton.

Not going to slate him for it though, it's a whole different world coming from the Greek league to the PL.
