Kevin Mirallas

Obviously not even close to the same league but goals like today, you can sort of see the Belgian Ronaldo shouts.

It's more to do with the style and technique than the quality isn't it.

Yep....












Ronaldo isn't close to Mirallas quality wise.

I think (in that mould) he's as good as suarez, without the diving and aggravated battery. ( please don't kill me )

I detest Suarez with a passion... but he's better than Mirallas in terms of quality. By quite a stretch.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Today's goal for instance, where he had it on a string at great pace, just had flashes of Ronaldo.

 

[slimspek]

He has created his last two goals pretty much by himself in tough matches. There aren't many players around that can do that. In that aspect I think he is similar to Suarez.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

He's a match winner.

i agree with you, but Suarez just spent the better part of 90 minutes in James Collins's back pocket.

 

[Blooy]

He seems ok with the ball at his feet running at opposition. Otherwise average.

He's the only player in the team capable of doing this, it's a pretty big deal.

Superb player IMO. We haven't quite worked out how to use him best and keep him in the game for 90 mins.

Give him a free role behind the striker? He's got Ronaldo-esque style about him, give him that freedom to drift from wing to wing or link up with Anichebe in the middle. Think we need to go back to 4-4-2 for that, Fellaini dropping back with Gibson.

Yeah I think he'd score more from that position. I'm talking more about how we play the game. There was more than a few times yesterday when we had men up and a quick counter would have been on. With the way Vic holds the ball up and the way he can move with it at speed you've got a potentially potent weapon. We very rarely play the counter.

Also we can use him as an orthodox striker for periods in games when we've been pushed back. The opposition will move back ten yards and we can back up the pitch.

fellaini should have always been in the middle with gibson. we dont need 2 strong big targets up front

Gotcha, yeah agree with that, get it to him early and with 5 yards of space, meh, not even that much space, he seems to be able to lose the first man pretty easily. I'd love to see him get the ball everytime we have it, most exciting attacking player since Kanchelskis.

Totally agree.
