Imagine if Mirallas goes and he signs Callum McManaman
Am I the only one who thinks that he is, and was, just trying to make himself look good, to potential suitors.
The picking up of the ball and walking to the penalty spot was his way of saying, look at my bottle, I can pull rank at this club. And subsequently, by raising his goal tally, he looks even more attractive to other clubs.
Martinez can see through this Billy Big Bollocks behaviour and is fully aware that he will not be signing a new contract... So, told him to do one at half time. Rightly so, to be fair.
If you believe the hamstring thing, you are only kidding yourself.
True, although don't blame him for not wanting to sign a new contract. He'll walk into a decent European team's first team. Maybe we'll get eight to ten million for him.
Lukaku will be off in the summer too, possibly Stones too. Who would want to stay at us finishing in sixteenth place and no money and no trophies in two decades.
He took the pen, he missed, he got subbed off. If he wanted to take it and Baines let him, sound, the media are making more of it than it is.
Barkley and Naismith were totally ineffective and played all game, yet nothing is being said as big bad Kev missed a pen. Still doesn't mask the fact we couldn't break down one of the poorest teams in the league, due to our 'creative' players playing crap again.
Is he officially a " bad egg " in the dressing room now??
Has he turned heel??
This is all true. But Mirallas was a nobhead and needs berating for it.
I don't think he needs berating for missing a pen, he obviously likes scoring goals, everyone knows that from the amount of shots he has.
If it was that much of an issue, Baines could have said no i'm having it or the skipper could have stepped in. If that pen goes in the bottom corner we would all be talking about how we only just managed to scrape a 1 nil win against a sh1te team.
