Kevin Mirallas

[Pabbers]

He scored the winner, getting his team two more points than they otherwise would have done. How are you struggling to attribute any value to this?

Goal aside, goal aside goal aside.

If we do a straight swap we are mugs.

We need Lennon AND Mirallas. Two totally different players that offer some balance to the team overall. Unlike our usual "one winger, one out of position player stinking the place out" approach.

Goal aside, goal aside goal aside.

How can you seriously disregard the single biggest contribution to the game, made by ANY of the players on both teams, and then suggest that the quality of his performance can be accurately measured without that contribution? Would you tak ethe same position if he'd scored twice? How about three times, but getting sent off after the third?

To extend that over the course of a season, shall we base our assessment of Lukaku on his play MINUS the goals he's scored? What on earth would be the point?

You missed mcgeady!

*reloads, takes aim again

McGeady would miss McGeady even if he had an open McGeady.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

McGeady is no where near as bad as he's made out to be on here.

Forget the stats mirallas is one of our best players how can people not see this.

Well no, because Lukaku's job is to score goals.

While a goal is nice for a winger, its not his primary job, and in that respect, he was appauling.

what is his job, if not to create?

Ha ha you have just done what im getting picked up on!!

 

[joey_macmo]

in regards to the whole injury prone thing iirc Mirallas has played the same number of games as Baines since Martinez's arrival.

I just jumped in at the goal aside bit so I missed alot of the argument haha. to me creating is just goals, assists, and creating chances/ opportunites for goals.

And all but the goal, he was pretty poor at the weekend. Goal was great and i like kev, but he is no world beater and we will move on when he does go.

that's true for basically any player outside the top top players. Kev is still one of our best players and we'd be best off keeping unless we got a great offer (as with any other player).
