Kevin Mirallas

[Groucho]

Well anyway, back to topic, Mirallas has not gone with the squad to Kiev, whereas ineligible Lennon has.

An unspecified injury is stated. I reckon he's offski, and to be honest, if we can replace him in the summer, I'll not be too bothered.

He's a good player, but he's no Kanchelskis and certainly isn't irreplaceable.

It this is what I think, I hope it's been reported to authorities. By this I mean the pros not the modz

Reported this post.

Love your work.

Massive blow. He's been electric in Europe. That makes life a lot more difficult.

Atsu would keep the full back busy.

Time for Atsu to step up.

Really? thought he was pretty average against Kiev to be honest.

Stick Atsu in to run at them at pace.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

He's been carrying an injury since the turn of the year it's hardly a shock he's not gone, of course that won't satisfy the conspiracy theorist.

Reckon it might be Barkley, Naismith and Osman behind Lukaku tomorrow. No wingers there, but tbf, we don't actually play with wingers. That's the full backs' job.

Still not sure about Atsu at all. Still an impact sub for me.

Away from home he's put a few teams to the sword in Europe along with Lukaku.

My main worry is that Lukaku's game is inhibited now because of it.

Has Steven P been injured all season....smiles and logs off.

I'm not sure. He's a bit light weight, imo. And Mirallas can finish. It's not a like for like swap by any stretch.

For counter attacking and finishing ability it's defo a loss. Those two both scored an assisted each other's breakaway goals at Wolfsburg. I do think Rom will be fine, mind.

You could be right there lid, though it does look a bit like square pegs in round holes again to me and also lacking any real cutting edge.

----------Lukaku----------

Naismith--Barkley-----Osman

---McCarthy--Barry / Gibson-----

Disagree.

Mirallas is 'a tad' selfish in the final third. Does Lukaku very little favour.
