Kevin Mirallas

[Baines' left foot]

Just refresh my menory lads, is he still out with the same injury caused by suarezs stamp in the derby?

No I think he sneezed a few times so he was out for a couple of weeks.

 

[LTblue]

I've heard he plays for Everton but likes Arsenal's style. This should mean he is available tomorrow.

 

[blaggerblue]

I beg to differ. Cynicism masquerading as "Realism".

Agreed. They never hammer us and we often sneak a result at the Eastlands. At least Rodwell wont haunt us on the day.

 

[Essex Blue]

When is he due back?

 

[ijjysmith]

When is he due back?

Well my educated guess would be at the very least bench against Spurs.

Been in full training for half last week, then full week this. Surely he must be available for Spurs?

If not, then I guess there's some funny business going on.

 

[Neiler]

With Bale out i wouldnt be surprised to see Vs Spurs.

 

[Baines' left foot]

I'm mentally preparing myself for him not to be ready for Spurs. He's been "close" to coming back for the last 3 or so games now, it's soul destroying seeing Naismith at RM when he should be marauding up and down the touchline wreaking havoc.

This. We look so much more dangerous with him in the team. Every time the ball goes right, with Naismith and Hibbert, I just know we're going to lose it or end up passing backwards.

If McFadden was the Scottish Rooney, What's Naismith? The Scottish Downing?

Neither his left or right foot are good enough for that. How about the Scottish errrr......... leave that one with me.

I don't hate Naismith by any stretch but he's one of the worst players I've seen at RM for us in a little while, he needs to be one of the front two or nothing really.

He's not a wide midfielder, hes a second striker! Much better there. If kev isnt fit for spurs then oviedo should be in instead of nace, been impressed with Bryan, looks good

He reminds me of Cahill in some ways, plenty of endeavor but not a great deal of skill or application. His positioning is good though as we've seen from the couple of poachers' goals he's scored. He trys hard and that's all we can ask of him.

 

[paulbefc]

Please be fit for Sunday, Kev, ffs. He makes going the match so much more exciting.

 

[D410]

Anyone one know if the lad is fit and ready for saturday?

 

[evertondotcom]

I've read he's been fit to play for weeks but there are some internal issues going on at FF.

The amazingness of Oviedo's signing is overshadowed by Mirallas, but I don't think it should be overlooked. He has incredible pace and a great work rate, but his positioning is a bit suspect defensively.
