The psychological work by some people on here is ridiculous. Lots of people assuming Mirallas will deflate and wilt under Moyes' challenge. Not everyone demands affection and attention to perform better.

No one here knows Mirallas. Moist does. Previously Moyes has challenged him to find his form and start scoring - he did. Now he's challenging him to last 90 minutes.

Also, people should keep in mind Moyes' strong points of which man management is arguably his best. He's streets ahead of most managers in this respect. Give him some leeway; he most likely knows what he's doing.

Not 100% sure I agree with that.

Since Everton under Moyes are renowned for acheiving good results because of the togetherness of the squad and Moyes man management, I would go with what Moyes thinks to be honest.
He obviously knows the character of the man, will be expecting him to carry on whilst knackered game after game and eventually he won't be knackered come the end of a game. He's on too much money to keep wanting to bail after 60 minutes so he has to get match fit.
The not what Everton need comment was wrong though, no complaints with the rest of it.

Really? It's said constantly how much bang for our buck we get. How we overachieve etc. He's taken ordinary enough players or players who have fallen by the wayside and turned them into great players. Howard, Cahill, Lescott, Jags, Baines, Arteta, Pienaar, Coleman, Anichebe?

There's an argument against this with reference to our strikers. But, I'd argue that most of our strikers were/are fairly gash to begin with. We tend to buy them in the bargain basement and you really don't get much quality for those prices. If anything, the man management of them has boosted their performances temporarily before they return to their baseline gashness.

The one exception I'd make is the handling of Yakubu. Maybe this could have been done better. But then again, Yak has repeated the pattern at Everton throughout his career. There's not a lot anyone except a psychoanalyst etc. can do about that.

Moyes is correct though. He's incapable of playing 90mins. People are talking about resting him for QPR as there worried he'll be to tired / injured for Arsenal. Not good enough for a premier leage on £60k a week. Shape up or ship out

Hamstrings.
 
if he does thrive on being proven wrong...i'd love it moyes had said - 'he is absolutlely bl00dy ****e, i should havbe bought 6 naismiths instead.. and hes belgian..what a load of t,wats they are...'

that should get him motivated
 
I am surprised, to an extent by the comments, but I think they might do some good. At the moment, he's looking like a great player, but can't seem to finish 90 mins. He'd given up defending by 80 on Sunday. Why? Was he tired or was it a case of shirking responsibility, or both? As I think Davek said the other day, he was sprinting up the other end after 80 mins, which makes you wonder why we didn't see him making more of a defensive effort.

This sounds like a challenge from Moyes to prove him wrong. I think the lid's ego (possibly) needs to be kept in check to an extent *looks at gold Bentley* and from watching him, I get the faintest impression of just a hint of that Suarez attitude which reacts to criticism with big performances. (No, I'm not insinuating he's a horrible little racist snide).

I'm not saying he's a prima donna by any stretch, but MAYBE in games like Spurs and City, where the onus is on us to defend, he needs to be prepared to muck in and do the dirty work and not think he's above it in any way, as well as score boss sexy goals. Suarez does it (he knows this only too well ffs), so why shouldn't Kev? I'm NOT having a go, but I do think he looks like he could do with some toughening up and a little bit of riling up. Criticism seems to have worked wonders for players like Suarez.
