Kevin Mirallas

Can't wait for him to leave TBH

Sick of hearing people screaming about his non-inclusion despite his shocking attitude and the fact that he hasn't taken any of the few opportunities he's been given in the past year

Also, the obsession with playing two "wingers" - doing this leaves us more open and having a player like Cleverley, Pienaar or even (whisper it quietly) Osman who is happy to come inside and join the rest of the midfield, allows us to retain the ball better and let our good attacking full back (Baines) overlap.

Mirallas always frustrated me because he would contribute for about 10 mins a game when he was actually playing well.

Personally, he wouldn't be in my team either - although I'd have brought Lennon on ahead of him last night rather than Kone

Why does Roberto use only two subs? Its nonsense, could of handed Kev the last 15 at least? He comes out with all this rubbish about keeping him...etc but wont play him.

What do you want Roberto to say ? If he comes out and says ya we want to get rid of Kev, I'm not going to be picking him anyway so he might as well go'.

Not too sure Everton would be in a strong position to get the best deal for the club if he came out with stuff like that.

Kev has put in some rash challenges with his late cameo's ,all of which probably leave Martinez with the thought I don't trust this guy. I can't agree more with you reading of the shape of the team , with kev in the side we have way to much attack minded players in the side. The option all the people wanting kev to start is who shall we drop ross or Gerry. I am a big tom cleverly fan ,this boy and besic are going to big players for us in the second half of the season.

He dosen't play, Roberto wont touch him, so that puts us in a weak position to sell anyway, who is going to pay top money for a player that cant get off the bench even as a sub? When the manager would rather play Osman and Kone he isn't exactly "selling" Kev.

This is exactly what I was going to say!

Asides from the penalty incident, where does everyone get this 'bad attitude' stuff from? Have I missed something?

I think everyone is reading between the lines in a big way.

Over the last 12 months there are plenty of examples

Firstly there's the fact that he seems quite prepared to regularly spout off in the Belgian media at the slightest hint of discontent - let's not forget this is the lad who was trying to engineer himself a move to a "Champions League" club for most of the last two years anyway.

There was that penalty incident

There was that ridiculous challenge at Swansea a couple of mins after coming on, meaning we had to settle for the point rather than go for a winner

There's the whole body language thing too - not even raising a smile on the bench when we score or heading straight off the pitch after the game (Boro away was a very good example).

Any one of these in isolation wouldn't be an issue but stack them up and I think there's enough evidence to suggest he's basically a nob
 
I think it may be more to do with his lack of interest in helping the team in defending than a major problem with his attitude.

I look at Deulofeu this season, if ever there was a player built for attack only it is him, he just loves to stay out wide, receive the ball and make things happen. This season however, I see him chasing all over the field as he does his piece closing down attacks, not with a huge level of conviction it must be said. Deulofeu however is going against his natural inclination and does work hard, consequently he does not get the full 90 minutes because he is knackered.

I think KM may have a little too much of the attitude that I will attack and let the defenders defend for the liking of RM.
 
Martinez doesn't like Mirallas because he doesn't track back and defend then?

Daverto Moyestinez.

P.s he actually does track back tbph
